Excellent series just finished watching all seven episodes.
The Ben Whishaw-starring AMC+ medical drama has all the dark humor
and visceral anxiety of not knowing the point where your job really
ends.
“This is Going to Hurt” is defined by following life on a labor ward via
Adam’s experiences in an underfunded, overstrained National Health
Service hospital in the mid-2000s. It also focuses on Shruti Acharya
(Ambika Mod), whose regiment of training and studying for exams is its
own immense load.
There are also frequent Adam-to-audience check-ins,
fourth-wall breaks brought on by everything from workplace rivalries to
unexpected delivery room developments to the constant demands of holding
strangers’ fate in his literal hands.
“This is Going to Hurt” realizes that — even if it doesn’t involve
scalpels and forceps and bedside manner — work can be both the thing
that invites grief and a shelter from it all at once.
