Yes. Medical autobiographies always have an abundance of black humour but I wouldn't call this comedy in any form.

Exactly
I think the funny bits are comedy and the dramatic bits are drama.
I've just seen the first episode and absolutely adored it. Veering madly from comedy to tragedy and back again, with a brilliant performance by Wishaw. A joy to watch.
I'm sorry but I've got no sympathy for the moaney, whingey bastard.
He speaks very highly of you, Chappers.

But I've watched one and a half episodes and I can't be bothered with any more.

I did manage to get through the second part, as I said I would give it another go, but simply don't see what all the fuss is about.
Won't bother in the future.
Osse's for courses I suppose. I watched the 2nd episode and still think it is great.
The writing for the adaptation of the book is brilliant.

I was wondering about that - not having read the book (yet).
Good to hear - it isn't always the case.

I haven't read the books and I'm not a big fan of single shaky cameras to start with but I just don't find the doctor likable in any way.
Is this how he comes across in the books?
I don't think he set out to be liked but to show the true ups and downs of a junior doctors life in the NHS. (warts and all as they say)
