This is very weak in every area. The one standout actress is the lead, Amanda Redman, and Phyllis Logan in the first series, who literally has to carry the series by themselves. The other actors are just like wooden puppets, especially the young Indian male doctor. He needs to go back and finish acting school. There are also ridiculous plots that are built around some medical events that are so far fetched that one wonders if they had a medical adviser on the set at all? This is a series to watch when you have absolutely nothing else in your queue and just want to watch something to pass the time.

I love this show. The storylines interweave so beautifully. It's about a young doctor who has recently finished with her residency, who is running from her crushing break up by moving to India to work in a hospital. The inner workings of the individual character's back stories unfolds from episode to episode. There's humor, drama, friendships, a bit of intrigue, and even some romance. I highly recommend this!

Season one was an unexpected delight. Instead of the expected race based comedy we saw a proper drama in an interesting location. How accurate is it? I don't know, and I don't care, this is a fictional drama, it is mainly about people and circumstances, not about accents and the colour of buses. The strong points of season one have been retained, and it looks like the writers have gone for extended plot lines, leaving us asking "how will that play out?' at the end of each episode. This is not gritty, challenging, or taboo-busting, but it does leave one thinking, which puts it well ahead of the enjoyable but trivial "Death in Paradise".

This series is supposed to be based in Kerala, India, where the main language is Malayalam. However, I think that some scenes are shot in Sri Lanka. I can understand foreigners speaking the language with an accent, but in this series even the natives speak the language with a very heavy accent.This includes the young school boy and the teacher! The reason of course is that some of the so called native actors seem not to hail from Kerala! In such cases it would have been better to stick to English in all the conversations. Why bother to introduce bits of dialogue in Malayalam? It would have been wiser to get some native actors, which would have helped this series. The dialogue is unconvincing and some of the actors are just not very good. Then, there are too many characters walking around in the hospital, and one of them even carries a monkey in, and they are both treated with antibiotics! I am originally from Kerala and was looking forward to watching this series. However so far, I am very disappointed. Sorry.
