Based on the BBC series of the same name, "Getting On" follows the daily lives of overworked nurses and doctors attending to the needs of elderly female patients at Mt. Palms Hospital in Long Beach, Calif. Even as they attempt to serve their charges in a rundown extended-care wing of a hospital mired in red tape, the staff members deal with life's complications and conflicting agendas, both professional and personal. The ragtag crew includes Dr. Jenna James, whose dreams of becoming a famous medical researcher died at Mt. Palms; Nurse Dawn, who might excel at her job if she didn't obsess over finding a boyfriend; Nurse DiDi, an example of how one's easy rapport with patients should inspire co-workers but doesn't; and Patsy De La Serda, a supervising nurse of ambiguous sexuality.

[The three lead actresses] deliver with nuanced performances that turn quick glances or sighs into punch lines. Go to Full Review Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker Nov 16, 2015
Getting On, which is based on the acclaimed British original, and which is now in its final season on HBO, lingers in my mind as much as, if not more than, almost any other dark comedy, even in this era of exceptionally good options. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Nov 10, 2015
This cult comedy is hysterical, and it's brutal, too, in its take on the health care industry and the way it cares for elders. Go to Full Review Jared Canfield Screen Rant Aug 14, 2018
Though the morbid undertones of the show can't be avoided, particularly with elderly patients knocking on death's door, Getting On is a black-comedy of the highest order. Go to Full Review Casey Newton The Verge Jun 14, 2018
More seriously, Getting On serves to document how our personal lives intersect with work in the most inconvenient of ways. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Nov 18, 2015
