Holby City (1999–2022)
7/10
Had the potential to be amazing
16 November 2023
Holby city was envisioned by the BBC as an alternative to the deary "casualty"

You can't compare Holby with casualty

Holby is leagues ahead, Holby is alot more polished and the production budget is alot higher, which results in better actors and better storylines

Casualty was More like a dull soap opera, filled with ex soap actors, bad acting and tiresome storylines , And a focus on irritating teens who couldn't act

Back to Holby,The acting is mostly great There is genuine humour ,its not over the top or forced, and used sparingly

It can be dark at times, but again with the comedy this is used sparingly, without depressing the viewers, scenes don't drag on

The reason I haven't given it a 10 star rating is because some episodes are worse than others, These bad episodes focus on dull , unimportant characters and storylines that have predictable endings,

These are the type of episodes where the words "I NEED YOU TO BE STRONG/WERE IN THIS TOGETHER" are repeated throughout

If they moved Holby to a post watershed time it would have been much better.
