Just finished watching (late!) so came to see if others felt a bit underwhelmed! I think we're all agreeing really. It's just too predictable - you know Shelagh will have a rough time, it's signposted to buggery, and we know what will happen with the Chinese baby.
I do enjoy the detail of it and things like Sr Monica Joan going to the Seamen's Mission. And I think it's interesting how it shows the changes in the NHS. But I was really left flat at the way they introduced Sister Ursula's character, built her up as a baddie, and then left it going nowhere. I usually love the actress but I thought she was hamming it up no end there, too. Watching the preview last week I expected dramatic mental breakdown at the very least, not someone rather upset because she'd made some stupid mistakes and then quickly coming round to see the error of her ways.
Hopefully there'll be better next week.
