Totally unrealistic and annoying. Why doesn't the father blame the person who actually killed his son? How does he get into the operating theatre? Unless it turns out the surgeon was blind drunk then he was just doing his job and if he was then it would just be too predictable. Not sure where this show has to go.I had no sympathy for the father which is a big failing for the show. Weird that itv would spend so much time promoting it. That's how far they've fallen.

We seem to be in somewhat of a wealth of psychological dramas right now, and for fans like me there's almost too much choice. Hospital based thrillers seem to be quite popular, not so long ago we had Trust Me. Trauma is a tense thriller which manages to keep you asking the question the whole way through, who's in the wrong? It's a clever story, and you can certainly see things from both viewpoints. I eagerly await the finale, and hope I get the answer to the question that's been nagging me from the very start, why is Dan's anger focused on Jon, and not on the actual perpetrator?Superb performances from the two lead actors, Adrian Lester is a superb actor, so good in the role, I have absolute belief in his character. I'm a life long fan of John Simm, I'd say I'm frustrated that this and Collateral are transmitting on the exact same time slot, I'd love to know his thoughts on that, but as always the charismatic Simm steals every scene, he is phenomenally talented.Socially you see two worlds collide, and at a time where the Social Gap seems at its widest point for many a year, I think the drama demonstrates how much harder it is for the guy with nothing, up against a very powerful individual.Gripping viewing.
