Finally watched all 6 episodes. I'm a bit of a history nerd, so I was really excited to see how this series turned out. I'm also a sucker for historical dramas.
I'm not looking for a fictional show to teach me history. I can check out a documentary, read a book, or visit a museum if I want that. I'm more interested in whether a show captures the feel of an era and is honest in how it portrays how people saw the world at their time. I think it would have been a much more successful show had it just trusted the show's setting. As others have said it should have focused more on the daily life of working in a WWI era field hospital instead of trying to cram a big medical case/issue into every episode. There should have been more than enough daily drama for four seasons -- friendships, the breaking down of social divisions, the daily challenges of running a field hospital, the nurses fighting for respect, and yes even romances. Some of those elements where there, but it just got lost.
I am thankful it introduced me to Richard Rankin.
If you haven't checked out ANZAC Girls, you should make a point to watch it.
