I could see where this could of been an amazing show, but it really ended up being more of a soap opera with the odd sexual romp between nurses and doctors, and the tormented looks of anguished pasts on the faces on some of the characters is overdone. I think nobody does period drama better than the UK, but this was isn't one of those for me. I think if you wanted light entertainment about the personal lives of the nurses entwined with love and romance this would be an ideal show. They also added the bad guy character into the plot as well. The acting is good according to the scripts given to them, but there really wasn't anyone that stood out. I find the same actors appearing in British shows whether it is a murder mystery, police drama or historical piece. I have seen the character that lost his legs in two separate Poirot movies, and I am sure a Midsomer Murder here and there.
