Film Reviews by PS

the show perhaps lost its way a little around series 5, and then the rather Cuddy-dominated storylines of series 6 and 7 at times became a little boring - but series 8 is an absolute return to form and the final episode itself is arguably perfect. it had one weakness for me - the diction of one of the new characters (doctors) was very poor and it was a constant struggle to hear what she was saying (subtitles required), but that aside this was a great series and the creators made sure it ended - in quality of story-lines at least - on an absolute high

it seems that the film-makers were so petrified of making any kind of suggestion that a lady may enjoy any of the (mainly fairly tame) activities referenced by the subject matter, that they instead decided to portray the female character as a materialistic strumpet wooed by helicopter rides and the promise of a meal out once a week. the ending is terrible - but you still feel thankful for reaching it. it comes across mainly as the work of an imbecile.
