The GuardianLucy ManganMar 9, 2026
Season 2 Review: The new series promises to be as addictive and unsettling as the last, with another good cast and Ofori-Attah still with plenty of material. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It’s early days but series two is showing great potential. Read full review

iGerard GilbertMar 9, 2026
Season 2 Review: Writer Grace Ofori-Attah, who worked in the NHS for 10 years, once again gives the proceedings an air of authenticity without overloading it with the sort of endless abbreviations that eventually made Line of Duty a bit of a joke. Read full review

The IndependentNick HiltonMar 9, 2026
Season 2 Review: Malpractice might not sublimate the instinct towards sensation quite as effectively as Adolescence, but they are tonal siblings in how they present the spiral of a nightmarish situation. Read full review

The GuardianLucy ManganMar 9, 2026
Season 1 Review: Later in the series the focus broadens and the plot thickens (and periodically becomes unbearably tense) to make it more of a thriller, but it doesn’t lose touch with the central theme. Read full review

Radio TimesJames HibbsMar 9, 2026
Season 1 Review: The dialogue feels realistic and genuine, managing to be populated with legitimate medical terms while still being comprehensible to a general audience. The best part is that all this work to ground the series doesn't get in the way of the thrills - it is a nerve-racking ride from the very start. Read full review

The TelegraphAnita Singh Mar 9, 2026
Season 1 Review: What raises Malpractice above ropey thriller fare is the quality of the acting. Algar is excellent in the lead role as a medic who appears capable but is falling apart at the seams. Read full review

The TimesCarol MidgleyMar 9, 2026
Season 1 Review: I do wonder if the MIU would be quite so harsh on the actions of a doctor who had just had a gun waved in her face, but then this is a TV drama. I can also see it becoming addictive. Read full review

iMarianne LevyMar 9, 2026
Season 1 Review: Ofori-Attah is a doctor who spent many years working in A&E, and her experience shows. It is the script’s nods to unnerving realties of the NHS that hit hardest. Read full review

The TelegraphAnita Singh Mar 9, 2026
Season 2 Review: It feels like difficult second album syndrome for Ofori-Attah, who knows she has a great premise that could run for several series, but hasn’t quite got a good enough story to make this one compelling. Read full review

Radio TimesJames HibbsMar 9, 2026
Season 2 Review: The first episode is stellar and propulsive, but the second and third do start to stall somewhat. More elements are consistently thrown into the mix, but the twists and reveals often don't feel quite as consequential or cohesive this time around. Read full review

The Observer (UK)Barbara EllenMar 9, 2026
Season 1 Review: Malpractice starts strongly, with candid, fast-paced hospital scenes. But before long –the whole series is available to stream – it buckles. Read full review

The IndependentSean O'GradyMar 9, 2026
Season 1 Review: A sort of Sunday night medico-crime BOGOF offer for the viewer, and it works. .... Doctor Lucy is supposed to be a challenged, yet sympathetic, cool character, but I’m afraid she just leaves me cold – like too many of her patients, unfortunately. Read full review
