Yahoo News Trust Me continues to serve up ALL of the tension
Tonight was time for round two of nail-biting tension as we tuned in to watch Jodie Whittaker in Trust Me, the BBC drama following Cath Hardacre, a nurse who steals the identity of a friend to work as a senior A&E doctor.
Reactions to this week's episode fell into a few broad camps: people who couldn't deal with the tension, those who were loving Jodie Whittaker's acting – and others who just could NOT cope with how much lens flare was going on.
Throughout the episode, the anxiety levels over Cath's lies and her trying not to be found out was too much for many:
watching trust me raises my blood pressure, how could you ever pretend to be a Doctor😩makes me sweat even thinking about it #trustme

Good grief. Jodie Whittaker IS gonna be a great Doctor.- Saboteur Ri-Adrast (@Saboteur_Riley) August 15, 2017
A scene in which Cath is told it's silly to believe she "isn't a real doctor" because she's a woman seemed all a bit close to home, considering Jodie Whittaker's upcoming role in Doctor Who:
"I'm not a real doctor."
"Oh, because you're a woman?!" #TrustMe- Zoe Welch (@ZoeWelch1) August 15, 2017
THAT WOMAN DOCTOR WHO REFERENCE HAS ME #trustMe
- lucy (@jennalcslove) August 15, 2017
'I'm not a real doctor'
'Because you're a woman?'
Doodz, i choked on my pepsi#TrustMe- Claire Dalgress 🦊 (@Dylan27Fox) August 15, 2017
'I'm not a real doctor' 'why, because you're a woman?' Oooh that was some spooky foreshadowing! #trustme
- Chelle (@pixi_mdm) August 15, 2017
And funnily enough, she does get told she's not a real doctor because she's a woman!! #DoctorWho #TrustMe
- Amy Hartman (@Amyyh18) August 15, 2017
'I'm not a real doctor.'
'Cause you're a woman?'
😂#TrustMe- JaneyK (@janeyk72) August 15, 2017
That's right, lady. She doesn't think she's a real doctor because she's a woman. #TrustMe pic.twitter.com/jLg2tZ2FNT

Also, the whole 'I'm not a real Doctor', 'Because you're a woman?' bit. *Applauds* #trustme

The episode ended on her love interest Andy clocking on to the fact that Cath isn't who she says she is – setting up EVEN MORE TENSION next week:

While all that drama was bubbling away, some – make that "a lot of" – people really were just totally distracted by the amount of fancy on-screen lens flare that was going on:
Oh no, the light flare begins in the first scene 🙈 #trustme
- Becca hamilton (@tibby13) August 15, 2017
This whole light flaring thing is very distracting! #trustme
- Claire (@Cmwhit85) August 15, 2017
And the lens flare is back!!! #TrustMe
- ConnorJNorton (@TheReal_CJN) August 15, 2017
Overwhelming amounts of lens flare on episode 2 of #TrustMe again.

- Gareth Roberts (@OldRoberts953) August 15, 2017
I love the plot etc, the lens flare is very distracting though #trustme
- Dave (@DavidMackayy) August 15, 2017
Is there a valid reason that there are yellow lines from the lights all over the screen? #TrustMe
- Sarah Kyle (@sarahlkyle) August 15, 2017
#trustme great prog but stupid light across screen so avoidable or is it deliberate!
- Tony Allen (@tonydonsfan) August 15, 2017

- Emma Rayner (@EmmaLRayner) August 15, 2017
Can we please talk about the lens flare in #TrustMe ??? y'all don't need that much lighting

- Dits1710 (@Dits1710) August 15, 2017
#TrustMe overuse of lens flare is annoying!
