A medical thriller series starring Jodie Whittaker as a nurse taking on a different identity has found a new streaming home in the UK. Created by Dan Sefton, drama Trust Me follows two criminal cases taking place at the hospital, with Ashley Jensen and Alfred Enoch also starring in the show's second season.
Premiered in 2017, season one follows Whittaker's Sheffield hardworking nurse Cath Hardacre who loses her job after whistle-blowing over patient neglect. A single mum, Cath moves to Edinburgh where she takes a job as an A&E doctor after taking the identity of her friend, Alison Sutton.
Branded a "gripping medical anthology drama" in the show description, the series originally aired on BBC One and is now available to stream on Channel 4.

"You're meant to feel most cared for in a hospital. So what happens when the least trustworthy person in the room is your doctor?" the synopsis teases.
Alongside Whittaker, season one also stars Emun Elliott as Dr Andy Brenner, who gets close to Cath/Alison, as well as Sharon Small as Dr Brigitte Rayne, and Blake Harrison as Karl, Cath's ex-husband.
