Although most of the acting is creditable, Jodie Whittaker brings no charisma to the main character and I found it hard to engage with her dilemma, a very bland performance which undermined the whole story.
Sharon Small as Brigitte and Emun Elliott as Andy are the best reasons to watch this drama, both bringing real intensity to their characters, but sadly their great performances sat at odds with Whittaker's flat screen presence. For example, would Andy really have risked his career/freedom for such a Luke-warm love affair with Cath/Ally?
Also the plot is just not credible. With all the sophisticated photo ID/security checks in place nowadays, it too ludicrous to imagine anyone could sustain such a deception, never mind carry out emergency operations in A&E after swotting up a few medical books in her breaks.
Others characters such as her ex, colleagues, father, the fabulous landlady, were much more engaging and three-dimensional.
