Although any drama involves a suspension of disbelief, this one has too many holes to go to sea safely.
Of course Jodie Whittaker is good as the nursing sister in a failing NHS hospital whose whistle blowing costs her her job. Indeed the acting is competent all round and the settings (Edinburgh) refreshing. But ... the plot is simply unbelievable.
We are expected to think Jodie takes the identity of a doctor who has emigrated. She picks up a post at an Edinburgh A & E department. Somehow she does this with no bank account details or references. It is simply beyond credibility and the writers should be admonished for not even giving a nod to how she pulls this off. If you accept that, and her willingness to have sex in the bathroom of her consultant (a private house)on day two or three, then maybe the story line is captivating enough to see where it goes.
Luckily Jodie achieved the Dr. Who post before this medical posting unravels.

When Senior Nurse Cath is pushed out of her job, she steals the identity of someone who's setting off to a life in New Zealand.
Suspend your disbelief, that's all I'd say here, if you take it too seriously, you'll struggle. It has taken me the best part of six years to get through it, but it's actually a pretty good watch.
I'm glad it's just four hours, and not six, it's well paced, and manages not to feel too stretched or drawn out.
There were definitely some in jokes with Jodie playing A Doctor, with people unaware that she had, by this point, been cast as The Doctor. I think Jodie is actually really good here, this is the kind of role I think she's better suited to, she's very convincing. Sharon Small was great in support, as was Emun Elliot.
So, you are going to scratch your head a few times, trust me getting a job inside The NHS is subject to multiple rigorous checks, once you get past that aspect you'll enjoy it.
7/10.

Season 1 is a terrific story. Suspend any cynicism and enjoy. Season 2 is a totally different cast, story and setting. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as season 1
Whittaker and Small are great, but the plot is unbelievable in many points. It's tense and well acted. Too much lens flare though.
I don't see how people are saying that Whittaker gave a weak performance. She did a great job imo (but she's absolutely incredible in Paddy Considine's "Journeyman"). The writing made her character unlikable though.
8 out of 10- tense, well acted, a bit unbelievable
