It’s life or death in first look at Netflix’s Critical – from team behind 24 Hours in A&E

Currently, we’re catching a glimpse of the high-speed television show that will immediately place us on the battlefront of medical emergencies.

Concerning institutions like Royal London, King’s College, St George’s, and St Mary’s, we learn about their daily operations where the central response center handles approximately 6,000 phone calls. Among these calls, their task is to pinpoint patients who are in the most severe distress.

Afterward, we’ll delve a bit deeper into some of the human narratives that will be presented throughout the series, as we encounter patients, their loved ones, and the emotional journeys they’re about to embark on.

One physician states, “It’s akin to playing on a team. However, the unique aspect is that we must always emerge victorious.

The series was first unveiled a year ago, and since then, it’s been made clear that it deviates significantly from 24 Hours in A&E, particularly in terms of how the programs are filmed.

Instead of relying on traditional methods that involve fixed-position cameras and filming with rolls, Critical prefers to utilize mobile single cameras and bodycams for their work.

Produced by The Garden, a studio that’s famously behind Squid Game: The Challenge, 24 Hours in Police Custody, Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers, and other notable series.

The Garden, known for Squid Game: The Challenge, 24 Hours in Police Custody, Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers, is the producer of Critical.

He explained, “We are transitioning from primarily being recognized for our domestic fixed rig shows to becoming a versatile company whose core remains in fixed rig programming, but is now leveraging knowledge gained from that and applying it to various genres.
