Mehak Jul 27 . 7 min read

This is going to hurt tv series is a British comedy-drama based on the professional lives and day-to-day personal matters of junior doctors in the demanding work environment.

Hello, hope you guys are doing well. Today we are back with the review, cast, plot, soundtrack, and many more of the show named, This Is Going To Hurt. Are you guys excited? So, let's get started.

The plot of Adam Kay, This is going to hurt revolves around junior doctors who work in an obstetrics and gynecology ward in a hospital named National Health Service. Due to overwork, Adam kay finds himself too exhausted to go home to his partner Harry and instead sleeps in the car. Throughout the first few episodes, it becomes clear to the audience that no one at work knows that Adam is gay as he doesn't open up to them about his personal life, just as he won't tell Harry anything but the most superficial, unimportant details of a job that frequently feels like a waking nightmare. Later on, he pairs up with a junior doctor named Shruti, who he initially thinks is stupid but later reveals herself to be just as stressed by the endless paperwork and workload as he is. With just the right amount of ludicrous detail, Kay allows this to unfold as a dark comedy in the vein of Catch-22, making it tolerable to witness the emotional toll the job has on Adam and Shruti. In a different story, Adam works a shift at a private hospital to supplement his low salary and ends up in an environment that is far more akin to a five-star hotel than the workplace he and Shruti work in.
