I really enjoyed the first episode. The tension was building and building and then the reveal at the end that Simms character was going to be working at the hospital was so good. I can't wait for the next episode tonight.

Recording it, but the way schedules are at the moment I can't see me starting to watch before the run of 3 episodes has finished, when I might binge-watch it all.

Recording this as it clashes with Collateral and Shetland....but it looked good from the trailers.
I like Adrian Lester. A friend of mine taught him at a school in Birmingham and even then she could see he had potential...and said what a lovely lad he was. |

Oh well, just me then. I thought it wasn't logical for a number of reasons:
Someone would have been sent to tell the family their son was in emergency theatre and things weren't looking good. There is no way they would not inform them.
The likelihood of him finding a way to access the theatre was extremely remote as he would have to go through several closed off areas to get there and even if staff are in theatre, there is generally a reception area, changing area, offices, etc. to get through first. Just so improbable it had me almost switching off.
There was no discussion around the results of the MRI and what it showed up.
There was no internal inquiry or post mortem. There were no contemporaneous theatre notes (essential) that were presented to the family and the fact that they would absolutely exist was not discussed.
Nobody seemed to be bothered about who had actually stabbed the son
I don't know any doctors that have public Facebook pages
The doctor would have had someone present at the meeting with the father. Having been a surgeon for that long he would know that this was essential. He would have put the father off and said that he would arrange a meeting and then ensured that he had all the test results available and another witness with him.
The time lag wasn't explained between being made redundant to getting another job in the hospital. This would take a couple of months at least because he would need DBS clearance in order to get it.
Just me then!

Well when you put it like that, Beverley......
I did laugh when he barged into the operating theatre and wasn't immediately bundled out . It reminded me of an incident in Casualty. I have only ever had surgery in Charing X hospital in London but to get into the operating suite there requires more than a bit of a wander round! I also had a bit of a mutter when Adrian Lester was talking to Dan without a third party present! But like Doctor Foster, by the same author, you have to go with the flow to enjoy it, I think.
I was expecting Dan to make a formal complaint but guess he hasn't done so if he is working at the coffee shop. I had a DBS check last year for hospital volunteering and it only took about a week. Mind you I got my new passport back in four days so just lucky (for once!) I guess.
Dont all unexpected deaths have to be presented/explained to a committee in hospitals these days? Or have I been watching too much TV?

Agree with both Beverley and Marion. Quite watchable in a “this can’t be for real” sort of way but totally implausible on so many levels not least of which the actual hospital scenes. But I think they might invent something fanciful knowing drama TV ! Liked the female policewoman.

It can depend on the trust and how efficient the HR dept is. The hospital I worked in, it took a month.

No, me as well. The wandering into the operating theatre episode was ridiculous. I am well aware that extreme grief and shock can seriously affect rational thinking but I am pretty sure if my child had been stabbed to death my thoughts of blame would be towards the scum that did it, not the surgeon who tried to save him, even if he didn't succeed. The father doesn't appear to care two hoots about who did it; he was quite dismissive when the surgeon said they were the ones he should be blaming, as though that was a minor detail. I feel a bit guilty at beginning to develop a dislike of the boy's father when I think I ought to be feeling sorry for him....but things are turning creepy now he's taken a job at the hospital.
Having said all that, it was a good, tense watch, very well acted so I am looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Think you are muddling this with Collateral, the other new series John Simm is in. I'm not surprised when they were scheduled against each other last night!
