Goofs

At around 29 minutes when Rial is getting her blood drawn, the woman drawing her blood fills a purple top tube while the yellow top is clearly shown to be empty. When drawing blood, however, the purple top (EDTA) tube is always drawn last after all other tubes to avoid cross contamination of tube additives.

A brilliant, must-watch

Moments of heartache then genuine terror. I had goosebumps.

Sope Dirisu is incredible - and Wunmi Mosaku is an absolute scene stealer.
