Gruesome - Critical review by MD
Gruesome hospital drama. I don't know how realistic this is, but I am looking to be entertained not horrified. I watched 8 episodes in the hope that a plot line will emerge and characters develop more. However, the last episode on disc 2 was worse than any horror movie I have ever seen. I generally like hospital drama, but this was too horrible for me.

Graphic scenes in operating theatre - Critical review by CP Customer
You either get used to it or you don't. Interesting concept - real time the golden hour for a trauma victim. I learnt a lot about the operating theatre and procedures. However, the series seemed to focus more on procedure than character development or plot in these first four episodes and I shall not be watching further. Understand the series was pulled early.
