    Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

    The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

    I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

    This might not be everyone's cup of tea but I loved it.Maybe not as good as Bodies the best medical show ever but still excellent.I love the increasing tension between the main characters.I hope there is a series 2 with some more back stories maybe? I don't imagine there is such a team in existence but I don't really care.When I first starting watching I was distracted by all the fervent glances but after a while the characters became real to me and I forgave the hospital drama stereotype. Maybe Our hero Glen does a bit of too intense angst but when he smiles all is forgiven.Of course when I see them saving someone who has had no oxygen to the brain for 10 minutes I cannot help but think that that is one of the things wrong with modern medicine.This show never tells us what happens to the saved person,presumable existing on in a home somewhere without quality of life. Still the show gripped me and was compulsive watching..

    Dear God this is dire! OMG! We have 60 minutes to save the world, and every other stereotype you can think of. It's scripted more like a Quinn Martin disaster movie than serious T.v. Having had lots of surgery,I Can categorically say this was written by someone who's never been in an operating theatre. It's very dramatic, but how much drama can you take in 60 minutes! Very 2 dimensional characters and the patient seems to be little more than a bit part. After the first few episodes, it wasn't so much theatre, as theatre of blood. Seriously, we get it, but do we really need so much blood and gore by the bucketful! Thank God SKY have done the decent think and killed this show.

    This is by far the best television show ever since "The Wire", the best show ever on the screen. Lennie James makes the show..His acting in this show should win him many awards along with the rest of the people. Show 8 was simply amazing, amazing acting, just so emotional.I watched it three times. I wish they would sell this show in the US. I get my copies of the show from over seas but you guys real need to put this show on in the US, you would make a mint. Don't't know why it isn't... could be on HBO or another channel. I watch these several times. There is not more to say then if you could give a higher score then 10 I would.

    The show LOOKS great and is for the most part compelling, and well acted. I have loved Lennie James in his other work, but in this I find him a touch over the top. He seems to be saying his lines in a very DRAMATIC way , whereas the character of Glenn repeatedly tells us this is his speciality (critical injuries). Most of the other cast maintain a calm dignified and professional tone in the presence of some immensely bloody trauma, and the obligatory internal hemorrhage. It would open the show out a little if we saw how the patients had suffered these accidents, and the paramedics work, etc. Don't watch while you're having your dinner, by the way.
