Viewers were on the edge of their seats as the premiere of the new ITV drama gripping viewers as Malpractice aired on Sunday, April 23. And lots were saying the same thing. Malpractice follows doctor Lucinda Edwards who, after the death of patient, Edith Owusu from an opioid overdose following a "nightmare shift", becomes the centre of an investigation into her alleged negligence.
"As the pressure of the investigation intensifies," a synopsis reads, "Lucinda's relationship with husband Tom (Lorne MacFadyen) starts to fracture, and her confident professional exterior begins to crack. Is Lucinda hiding something?"
And after the first episode, which takes a deep dive into the working lives of these NHS workers, viewers have been left in awe of this programme with many claiming they are 'hooked'.
