Critical

Critical, styled with a time-clock format as CR:IT:IC:AL, is a British medical drama series that debuted on Sky 1 on 24 February 2015. This 13-episode series is set in a major trauma centre, a unit which is used to treat critically ill patients. Each episode is based on one patient and one patient's life to save in one hour. Created by Jed Mercurio, the drama follows the team of medical professionals whilst they make life-changing decisions. The title refers to critical condition, the most serious medical state, as well as the decisions and actions of the staff; everything done within the first hour is absolutely vital and could mean whether a patient lives or dies.
