Viewers across social media are losing sleep over a medical drama that’s being hailed as unmissable television.
Fans on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) have been raving about staying up until the early hours to devour all seven episodes in a single sitting.
“Just finished the entire series in one night, and I’m emotionally destroyed. Best thing I’ve watched in years,” one viewer shared.
Another fan posted: “It’s 4 am and I just binged the whole show. My heart is broken, but it was absolutely worth it.”
The enthusiasm continued with fans praising the show’s authenticity: “This is how medical dramas should be made. Raw, honest, heartbreaking, and hilarious all at once.”
Others called it ‘the best series ever’ and warned fellow viewers to ‘prepare tissues.’
The series has also garnered widespread critical acclaim to match its passionate fan base.
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an impressive 95% approval rating across 43 reviews, with an average rating of 9/10. Metacritic assigned it a score of 91 out of 100, indicating ‘universal acclaim.’
The Radio Times awarded the opening episode a perfect 5/5 stars, with Lauren Morris praising the show’s ‘strong cast, bolstered by the show’s soundtrack of mid-noughties earworms.’
The Guardian‘s Lucy Mangan gave it 4/5 stars, noting it ‘pulls no punches in portraying the difficulties of life as a junior medic.’
Katie Rosseinsky of the Evening Standard described the lead actor as ‘such an engaging performer that the whole thing feels effortlessly authentic,’ concluding the show is ‘a deeply nuanced tribute that’s by turns horribly funny, heartbreakingly sad and righteously angry.’
Set in a London hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology ward in 2006, the drama follows junior doctors as they navigate the overwhelming pressures of working in the NHS.
The series doesn’t shy away from depicting the emotional toll of the job, the lack of support for medical staff, and the personal sacrifices required.
It employs a unique storytelling approach where characters break the fourth wall to address viewers directly, creating an intimate connection that draws audiences deeper into their world.
With frank honesty and dark comedy balanced against genuine tragedy, it explores both the professional challenges and personal lives of its characters.
Its popularity was reflected in viewing figures, with the first episode watched 4,753,000 times on iPlayer alone during 2022, making it the 10th most viewed individual program on the platform that year.
The seven-part series that has viewers sacrificing sleep and stockpiling tissues is This Is Going to Hurt, the BBC and AMC co-production starring Ben Whishaw as Adam Kay and Ambika Mod as Shruti Acharya.
Based on Adam Kay’s memoir of the same name, it premiered on BBC One in February 2022 and has since become a must-watch that continues to captivate audiences discovering it for the first time.
