- Synopsis:
- This hilarious - and often heartbreaking - series follows a fictionalised version of Adam Key (Ben Whishaw) as he juggles being a good doctor and a good person, in a system that sometimes feels like it's against him. Set in obstetrics and gynaecology, the series reveals the unvarnished realities of Adam's life on and off the ward: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, a tsunami of bodily fluids. And a personal life forced into second place. All for an hourly rate that struggles to compete with the hospital parking meter. A stark reminder of the vital role played by medics like Adam everywhere.

Unmissable - This is Going to Hurt review by AB
Utterly brilliant - this series touched every emotion - hilarious gallows humour through to the heart wrenching portrayal of a failing system, straight from the horse's mouth - so important that this was made on so many levels, least of all an honest tribute to the people working in the NHS under hugely challenging conditions. Ben Whishaw was amazing - the entire production was faultless. Thank you Adam Kay.
