Getting On (2013–2015)
Has Potential
25 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Entertaining show. Focuses on female elderly patients in a hospital and the doctors and nurses who treat them. Many of the patients have alzheimers and dementia so as sad as their circumstances are they seem for the most part unaware. So it seems more sad for those who work there.

What seems most interesting and funny albeit very is the absurdity of it all. The patient who dies on her 87th birthday. The nurse decides to eat the birthday cake that her sister had made and brought to the hospital. Her attitude being "well, it's not like SHE's going to eat it" and then after eating the cake is caught off guard by the sister who comes for a visit and the nurse has to break the news of her death while trying to conceal the chocolate frosting on her teeth.

Or of course the first scene where they have a lengthy conversation involving several hospital personal who try to figure out who pooped in a chair and how they should deal with it.

Not sure if I love it just yet, but it has potential.
