This Is Going to Hurt fans praise "funny, thought-provoking" episode 2
The second episode of this Adam Kay adaptation aired on BBC One last night.
BBC One's This Is Going to Hurt continued last night as junior doctor Adam (Ben Whishaw) dealt with the fallout after Erika's (Hannah Onslow) risky operation – and viewers have declared that the follow-up episode definitely lived up to the comedy-drama's fantastic premiere.
Fans of the series, which is based on Adam Kay's book of the same name, took to Twitter to deliver their verdict on the episode, with many praising Whishaw for his "brilliant" acting.
"A perfect mix of humour and trauma depicting the massive strain on NHS staff - so well acted by Ben Whishaw," one viewer wrote. "How scary to expect medical staff to function under such strain."
Another fan described the show as "excellent", adding: "Brilliant script and brilliant acting," while someone else wrote: "The book is fantastic and normally a TV series lacks the brilliance of a book but this is just as funny, powerful and brilliant."
Others described This Is Going to Hurt as "funny and thought-provoking" whilst commenting again on Whishaw's "great" performance.
