ITV is on something of a roll at the moment. Fresh from the success of Mr Bates vs The Post Office, their camera lenses are now turning to the medical sector for their newest show – no doubt to the dismay of NHS England.
With good reason. Breathtaking is the story of life in a London hospital during the worst public health crisis in recent memory. From start to end, this three-part series is a litany of disasters – and though it lacks a clear call to action in the same way that Mr Bates does, it is no less infuriating to watch. It’s impossible to look away; in fact, it should be compulsory viewing.
