With writer Dan Sefton announcing a second series of Trust Me that would contain a different cast and story. I decided to do the series one review here.
Cath Hardacre (Jodie Whittaker) is a good nurse concerned about what is happening in the Sheffield hospital where she works.
After being suspended as a nurse, needing to take care of her daughter. Cath steals the identity of her friend and gets a job as a doctor in an A&E department of a struggling Edinburgh hospital.
With fake qualifications and her nursing experience she has to bluff her way through and is successful. Until her ex-partner is on to her.
Series one is all about Cath trying to get used to living a lie and maintaining it while all around her things threaten to fall apart at any moment. The later episodes as expected gets diverted towards soap opera style histrionics.
The controversial part was that Cath gets away with it. Although writer Dan Sefton argued that Cath had sold her soul to the devil and will now continue with the deception. She is lost.
