barberic-695-574135 If I was rating just one of the episodes I would probably rate it at 9 or 10. The only reason I dropped to overall rating to 7 is that each episode is basically the same, concentrating on the medical trauma and the intervention. There is a slight story running in the back ground but it´s weak at best. A stronger underlying story would make this series so much better. An excellent example of that is the series Bodies which is in the same genre but because it had a great story as well as the raw medical content it was just brilliant. But even as only a seven, still well worth watching.

dunja I am disappointed that this won't go to season 2 as it's one of the best medical dramas I have seen; the character development in between these crucial, life-saving, actions is brilliant, the script, the cast, the tempo... perfect. It is no cliché drama with awful love- story tactics that make the medical interventions a welcome break – every aspect is very, very well crafted. While the genre is hard to get right if it's about one team (in this case critical emergencies), which means pretty much 2 or 3 things that can be done to help the patient and a LOT of beeping, this manages to hold its own and brilliantly. British do drama series very well and this is a prime example. Still very disappointed with no season 2....

Scott Hawkins There are many medical TV shows out there but when I saw this advertised it looked different. Ever since I started watching I've been on the edge of my seat, and eagerly anticipating the next episode!! I can't rate Critical enough! In my opinion the acting of all the actors is amazing and the choreography and fluency of the characters is funny and enjoyable. The medical jargon and realism seem pretty outstanding (mainly because I don't get half of it)! But arguably most of all, the quality of the plot and the quality of the makeup for the surgery/injuries just takes my breath away!I'm so hoping for a second season and one just isn't enough! Both me and my sister love sitting down and watching it together! And you should try it too!!

Mette Fredsted Gram The overall story isn't that bad. Well, it's not good either, but I've seen worse. But I don't recall ever having seen a show THAT unrealistic, without it having been on purpose. "Follow the drama at a state-of-the- art Major Trauma Centre", they proclaim. Well, state-of-the-art Major Trauma Centre, with incompetent doctors. "Doctors" who apparently have no medical training what so ever. Shaky hands, bad stress handling, mid-surgery discussions, staff nearly puking, the list goes on. The doctors and nurses just generally seem like they have no idea what they're doing. Like every day is their very first day on the job. Or just their very first meeting with the health care industry in general.At first I thought that it must be a post-apocalyptic scenario where none of the "doctors" had medical training, but were forced to a "learning by doing"-approach to safe mankind. Like maybe they were a mere 20 people left on earth, and therefore had no other choice than to try to save their dying race, despite their lack of medical training and bad motor skills. That would have been a much better show.This show cannot be taken seriously. It's just THAT bad. What were they thinking, when they made this? Have they ever been at a hospital, even? Or met a doctor? No real doctors would ever act like that! Any normal functioning person will see right through this. I really don't understand why nobody has stopped this show before it happened.
