Secret médical

A well-written drama, though its short runtime makes it feel a bit rushed in places—honestly, I wouldn’t have minded if it had been longer. Jodie Whittaker, who I already loved from Broadchurch, absolutely shines in the lead role here. I was rooting for her happiness the entire time, and if you weren’t, you’re probably pretty weird.

The second season of Trust Me definitely feels weaker, but it's still worth watching. Right off the bat, I had to adjust to the fact that Jodie Whittaker isn't the lead this time—it's Alfred Enoch. He plays a soldier who gets hit by shrapnel and wakes up paralyzed in a Victorian-era hospital in England, which really adds to the atmosphere. As you might guess, this season has no real connection to the first one, aside from the central theme of trusting caregivers, doctors, and nurses. But what happens when you lose that trust, just like Jamie (Enoch's character) does? The story unfolds over four episodes and has a solid premise, though I wish it had a more impactful conclusion.
