Monroe

James Nesbitt stars as brilliant and unusual neurosurgeon Monroe in this brand new medical drama.

Each episode will feature one compelling story of the week about life or death situations. The drama will focus on the way in which a serious injury or disease cuts across the lives of everyone involved, from hospital staff to patients to relatives. And how that group become, in an intense few days, a reluctant, dysfunctional family united by hopes, fears and grief.

At the centre of this stands Monroe, his trainees, his anaesthetist and his poker school - and his colleague, Jenny Bremner, who has contempt for his cockiness.
