Maternal (2023)
6/10
Some decent aspects, but hardly wonderful drama.
22 January 2023
Three mothers return to their jobs in The NHS after maternity leave, back at work they pick up following the strains and stresses of Covid 19.

Before watching it, and seeing a very brief synopsis, I had a few ideas in my mind of what to expect, a few stereotypes in my mind, and as I watched, pretty much all of them did appear.

I think it was is a passable series , I can't say I was totally blown away by it, but it was ok, it somewhat reminded me of a mix of Blue Murder and Holby City.

Some characters were interesting, some weren't. I liked Maryam, although I'm more excited to see the wonderful Parminder Nagra back as DI Ray, Helen was just irritating.

It does fall into one trap, yes it's seen from a woman's point of view, but every single man here, is either a cheat, or incompetent, or inconsiderate, potential Tory MPs, it would have been ok for one of them to have been perhaps a halfway decent human being. Somewhat lazy, stereotypical writing.

6/10.
