James Jackson Times (UK) Like the book, this finds a winning balance of comedy and anger, told with a convincing realism (specifically the birth scenes). Jul 8, 2022 Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic This Is Going to Hurt is likely more accurate and more wrenching than most medical dramas that have aired on TV. But that doesn't mean that it's seeing the fullness of what's wrong with women's health care. Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Whishaw's innate charm and wit keep the tone from becoming too depressing. Jun 10, 2022 Full Review Isobel Nutbrown Loud and Clear Reviews This Is Going To Hurt is hilarious, heart-breaking and, above all, important. We see the healthcare system as it really is: messy, remarkable and in desperate need of reform. Rated: 5/5 Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof A great miniseries set in a hospital. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Ana Yorke PopMatters The seven-part series will take you on a rollercoaster of grief and optimism. We hope the politicians in power everywhere have seen it already. Dec 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Donna M Stumbled upon this show after starting and stopping three others, desperate to find something that was interesting, well written and holds my attention. Have been bing watching the entire Season 1. Up to episode 6 of 7 and wanting much more. I think this is the only show or movie that I have watched in the past year that I have given 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend. Hope there is a Season 2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Chucky R Excellent TV faire. Worth the time to watch. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Wolfgang G This is going to hurt ist eine Komödie, Drama und eine BBC-Serie von Adam Kay… Ben Whishaws läuft in Höchstform auf… als ein homosexueller stellvertretender Stationsarzt auf einer Geburtsstation… Die Serie ist mit einem trefflichen sarkastischen und ironischen schwarzen Humor gewürzt… Kurz gesagt, realistisch, vorsehbar und vielleicht übertrieben, aber Ben Whishaws Leistung ist herausragend… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Lucas T A must watch following the story of a young doctor in a comedy drama constantly being put under pressure in a outdated system. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Eliud S Ben Wishaw is amazing... love this show.
