This is Going To Hurt S1

Award winner of the Best Actor at 2023 British Academy Television Awards. This hilarious – and often heartbreaking – series follows a fictionalised version of Adam as he juggles being a good doctor and a good person, in a system that sometimes feels like it’s against him. Set in obstetrics and gynaecology, or ‘brats and twats’ as it’s known, the series reveals the unvarnished realities of Adam’s life on and of the ward: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, a tsunami of bodily fuids. All for an hourly rate that struggles to compete with the hospital parking meter. As Adam works double shifs, battles extreme exhaustion and tries to crush the terrifying fear of making a mistake, his personal life starts to fall apart. He spends more time in the hospital than at home, he barely sees his partner, and his friends have almost given up on him. Shockingly honest and ferociously funny, this adaptation is a stark reminder of the vital role played by medics like Adam everywhere. And a rallying call to support our health services, now more than ever.
