TV choice: What happens when two worlds collide in ITV's Trauma...
Devastated, heartbroken and pushed to the edge, Dan believes Jon is responsible for Alex’s death. As he strives for what he believes is justice, Dan begins to unpick the very fabric of Jon’s life as his own unravels in the wake of Alex’s killing. Trauma is an intricate, fast-paced thriller that questions what makes a man good and explores what happens when the very institutions established to protect us and those who represent them, let us down.
The show stars Adrian Lester (Hustle, Undercover, London Spy) as family man Jon Allerton, a well-educated, confident and high achieving trauma surgeon. John Simm (State of Play, Exile, Prey) plays Dan Bowker, a factory manager struggling to cope as his life unravels around him. Episode 1 in brief
