Review of Trust Me

Trust Me (2017–2019)
9/10
Even better than I expected
2 April 2019
Jode Whittaker goes up a level in this series, playing a multi-layered role with aplomb. There are, of course, some plot holes (to be expected given the central premise) but the writers do a reasonable job of addressing these. If anything, they should be applauded for creativity.

The suspense, twists and turns and sublime acting of the lead are what make this mini-series. As for the supporting cast, Emun Elliott is competent though not brilliant. Sharon Small, Lisa Livingstone and Michael Abubaker are all positives as hospital staff, although the comedy romance element can be slightly cringe inducing. Black Harrison is a bit hard to watch at times, although this is more due to the part he is given than any fault of his own.

Overall, intriguing, tense and kept me coming back for more. Very well done. The four episodes have answered most questions that could have been asked and I'm not sure what a second series could possibly add. We'll have to wait and see.
