Reception

Episode 1 reviews praised Whittaker's acting, while criticising the plot:

Ed Power (8 August 2017). "Trust Me, episode 1 review: Jodie Whittaker was sublime in this occasionally rickety drama". The Daily Telegraph. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) - "Whittaker was cooly sublime but the drama assembled around her was often as rickety as a dodgy nose job."
Gabriel Tate (9 August 2017). "TV review: Trust Me; Get a House for Free". The Times. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) - "If Jodie Whittaker can carry a far-fetched hospital drama like this, then she will have no problem when she takes over in Doctor Who"
Sean O'Grady (7 August 2017). "Last night's TV review, Trust Me (BBC1): tense NHS drama". The Independent. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) - "Jodie Whittaker gives a solid performance" ; "The problems with this plot came teeming so hard into my head that I couldn’t pay proper attention to the drama unfolding before me."
Sam Wollaston (9 August 2017). "Trust Me review – Jodie Whittaker is warm and watchable as a fake doctor (not that Doctor)". The Guardian. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) - "She is warm and watchable, as ever, but this part doesn’t give her the opportunity to show the wit that I hope she will bring to the Tardis"
Louisa Mellor (8 August 2017). "Trust Me episode 1 review". Den of Geek!. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) - "Trust Me’s first episode just a bit dull, despite the luminous presence of Jodie Whittaker" ; "It certainly hasn’t given her a script that shows what she can do, or a character with much complexity."

This is summed up, with those five reviews being cited, in the following article:

James Rodger (9 August 2017). "Jodie Whittaker BBC drama Trust Me debuts to huge ratings". Birmingham Mail. {{cite news}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

(However, that exact article has also been published by multiple other outlets on and since 9 August, under the title "Praise for Jodie Whittaker as Trust Me debuts with healthy ratings", with the differences being changing Doctor Who finale viewers from 5.5 to 3.8 million and citing Press Association as author.)

Finally, concluding four episode-by-episode reviews, Mellor reiterates the same points:

Louisa Mellor (30 August 2017). "Trust Me episode 4 review". Den of Geek!. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) - "Taken as a whole, Trust Me had tension and intrigue, but lacked plausibility. Its boon though was its lead casting. Even if her character felt patchily constructed at times, Jodie Whittaker was consistently excellent."

Plot summaries

Series 2 is currently missing episode descriptions. Could the ones on the BBC site be used, at least as a starting point?
