Malpractice

“Being an old cynic, I doubted whether the writer Grace Ofori-Attah could strike gold a second time. Well, it seems that she might have. It’s early days but series two is showing great potential, with a nice couple of twists delivered at the end.”
Carol Midgley, The Times

“The new series promises to be as addictive and unsettling as the last, with another good cast and Ofori-Attah still with plenty of material. Malpractice can surely run and run – which is great news for viewers, if less so for doctors and their patients out in the real world.”
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian

“Writer Grace Ofori-Attah, who worked in the NHS for 10 years, once again gives the proceedings an air of authenticity without overloading it with the sort of endless abbreviations that eventually made Line of Duty a bit of a joke. Malpractice might already feel a little formulaic after just one and a bit series, but at least it’s a novel formula. I’m certainly booked in for the duration.”
Gerard Gilbert, The i

“Elements of melodrama naturally seep in (this is ITV after all), such as an illicit affair between a boss and employee, which precipitates an inexplicable suicide attempt. But the show’s creator, Grace Ofori-Attah, generally shows admirable restraint. The sequence of events that leads up to the scrutiny placed on doctors Ford and Hernandez feels plausible – all too rare a plaudit when it comes to medical drama.”
Nick Hilton, The Independent

“It feels like difficult second album syndrome for Ofori-Attah, who knows she has a great premise that could run for several series, but hasn’t quite got a good enough story to make this one compelling.”
Anita Singh, The Telegraph
