Eve Hewson playing Nurse Lucy is quite lovely.

It's quite graphic and only makes the experience real. Fascinating to see how they do things back then knowing how it is done now. Just throw away what you know and engage this tv show head on. Can't wait for season 2.

Having said that, I can't wait to watch the next episode. :P
