Show-Score Member Reviews (2)
See it if You want a totally absorbing, if grim, depiction of working in the NHS as a junior doctor. Excellent staging, acting and characterisation.
Don't see it if You want something light!
See it if you enjoy seeing a strong set of actors/characters interacting even if the story is not so great.
Don't see it if you hate strobe effects, darkness and emotionally intense shows
