Despite people claiming it is only a British knock off of the US series, "House" (the creator admits he was inspired by the series, so there is no skullduggery), I am a big fan, and wish they had made more.
It is only like "House",in that it is a hospital drama.
Nesbitt plays Monroe, and unlike "House", he is not a neurotic and not addicted to pain killers.
He is a delightful fellow, with the same problems as anyone else, and has a fun pleasant sense of humor, not acerbic and ogomaniacal like "House".
I loved "House", don't get me wrong, and as an American I might be expected to be the first to cry "foul".
But I don't, because "Monroe" is original, funny, and Nesbitt makes it a joy to watch.

Many, many documentaries have been made about WW2, but NONE approach its completeness, nor its thoroughness in explaining the War in its entirety.
It is a HUGELY ambitious undertaking, in its attempt to take the average viewer, not just historians, through the conflict step by step, decision by decision, battle by battle.
It succeeds BRILLIANTLY in all of its endeavors, and as other reviewers have said, a rating of TEN does not do it justice.
It painstakingly gathers archival footage, documents, letters....from all over the world and puts them back together in a way that belies the monumental effort involved.
If you watch this, then "Victory at Sea", which focuses on the War in the Pacific, and includes a magnificent musical score, you will know more about WW2 than 99% of the people on the planet.
I have run out of superlatives for this series. There has been nothing like it before, and nothing like it sense.
It should be viewed as a an international treasure, kept forever available by some means, for all future generations. I can think of no other cinematic creation with its importance.
