If you're intrigued by Grey's Anatomy, Doctor Strange, and The Good Doctor (these are all the medical series I've seen and can think of so far), this docuseries is perfect for you. We've always seen series that are a fictional version of reality. But what if this time you can see the facts with doctors, patients, and real cases? Netflix brings it to us with the documentary "Critical: Between Life and Death." With more than 40 cameras and filmed over 21 days, we delve into London's Trauma System, where the situation is critical and lives depend on the caregivers—the medical staff.
Each episode takes you directly to the ER, where we follow not only the story and journey of the patient, but also that of the doctors and nurses involved. One thing is for sure: once you finish watching this, you will feel immense respect for the doctors and other medical staff. Furthermore, this series is so in-depth that it even shows us how patients are transported to the hospital in ambulances and helicopters after a serious accident. From amputations to brain trauma, we see a multitude of cases in this docuseries. It also sheds light on what medical staff endure on a daily basis. And, of course, nothing is easy. They care for patients and endure equal or greater stress in life.
However, I must warn you: if you can't watch blood or medical issues, this may not be a good fit. I say this because there are times when, as a viewer, you might feel uncomfortable with the cases shown. The fact that all of this is real can also increase the feeling of discomfort. So only watch it if you're a fan and have a brave heart.
The series is emotional for obvious reasons. It's also fast-paced and never gets boring. Some patient cases may stretch over several episodes, but that's okay. It creates and maintains pacing and continuity. Through clips from operations and other similar events, the series brings us very close to reality. We also get to see how the UK healthcare system works in times of emergency.
In short, this series is moving and shocking. It takes time to watch, so only if you can spare the time, don't miss this six-part docuseries. It teaches us that behind human resilience lies another profession: doctors and paramedics who go the extra mile as caregivers. Without them, none of us would survive, which is another reason to be grateful. So step away from fiction for a while and observe this reality.
