Doctor Gemma Foster's life is about to be torn apart. She's a talented family doctor at the heart of her community, a loving wife and mother, a woman people can trust. But her world is fractured the moment she suspects her husband, Simon, of having an affair. Determined to discover the truth, Gemma unearths dark secrets that threaten everything she loves. As her life and the lives of her patients and family are thrown into chaos, only one thing is certain - Gemma will find herself behaving in ways she could never have imagined.
The creator of this brilliant five-part series has gone on the record stating that they would not rule out there being a second series. It's really hoped that would happen. And if they would be able to pull it off with anywhere near as much intense drama as the first, it would be a truly remarkable achievement. For without a doubt, this is some of the finest programming you're likely to see this year (or for that matter the past several years). The entire cast is outstanding, and Suranne Jones is just simply phenomenal... all acclaim she receives is so well deserved. This is one for the library.. and that final episode, in my mind, will go down as one of the best series finale's in programming history.
