I couldn't stop watching and I'm really hoping for another season. This involved the major trauma centers in London and chose several patients to spotlight from initial treatment in the ER to surgery(in some cases)to the day they go home. Some are hurt worse than others. A lot of brain injuries are shown. We do get to see some of the doctor's own traumas that encouraged them to go into their field of study. Please note-It's very graphic at times so if you are squeamish maybe don't watch.

I impulsively clicked on this one today. I went into it completely blind. It was almost like watching a speeding train that you can't stop. I thought I was getting a cute story of an American girl moving to London. I did get that, but also got way more. The main character was a big girl with an ugly wardrobe and actually a bigger mouth. She's gone through a life changing breakup and it's made her a bit messed up. Or more than a bit. I was unfamiliar with the actress that was the main character, but appreciated the awkwardness of her personality in both her personal life and with her new romance. Her new romance was a London indie singer with problems of his own. I wasn't familiar with this actor, but I think we're going to be seeing a lot more from him as far as his acting career. He was certainly memorable. There's a whole group of important to the story characters to enjoy or even dislike here. This was a series-another thing I was surprised by as I thought initially that I was watching a movie. I watched all ten episodes today. There was no cliffhanger which makes me wonder if there will be another season. I think it ended perfectly and should be the end of the story. Just my opinion.

I loved this book first and now I can say I love the movie. The story of a young American woman doing her year at Oxford for a graduate degree in poetry and all the things that happen during that year was really a good story on its own. Add in falling in love with her professor made it all even better. But all is not what it seems. I thought the acting was way better than most romances seem to be these days and the characters were wonderful as well. To the critics that didn't like this, well maybe you shouldn't watch romance. Just my opinion of course.
