HELP

Wow, a difficult watch but so very well done. The night shift scenes were harrowing but the acting was impeccable, at times I had to remind myself it was a drama. I work in care & although my experience has been very different, the frustration, exhaustion & all of those emotions of trying to get through to out of hours was just so true to so many of our experiences during the pandemic. At first, I thought the end was a bit far fetched but on deeper thought it resonated so much with me & I know it will for so many others. We dedicate our lives to look after people & at times it felt like we couldn't protect them & that no one cared but us. Although we wouldn't have gone to those extremes there were definite thoughts of wanting to take the people we care for away to a safe place where this virus couldn't touch them. I may not be articulating it very well but I think it was a dramatic ending to show how strongly care staff do feel for those we support. Overall a real fantastic programme that tells a story that needs to be told.
 
Loved it Jodie and Stephen were outstanding! I thought the ending wasn't great but it didn't bother me as the rest was that good. So emotional from the very start. A real eye opener of how bad things must have gotten in our care homes during that period ☹️
 
Stephen was just amazing! They both were but he always has a special place in my heart, his acting is always flawless. Working in care their were definitely parts I identified with when working at the peak of the pandemic.
