This is Going to Hurt

Painfully funny and at times, harrowing, This Is Going To Hurt delivers on its title. Ben Whishaw is a tour-de-force as the spiky, fourth-wall breaking doctor, delivering babies and barbs with equal efficiency, while British newcomer Ambika Mod will break your heart as his junior colleague Shruti. Produced by London-based Sister Pictures (Chernobyl, Landscapers), this is vital British television.
