Reception

[edit | edit source]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Breathless holds an approval rating of 71%.[14]

Rebecca Cook writing for Digital Spy warned that the show may not be for those who are particularly squeamish given the nature of some of the hospital scenes, but along with the impossibly good looking people and the relationship drama there is also a political message of the pressure on a health service. She states that "some "will likely be put off by the politicking and the gore, while hardline medical procedural fans will guffaw at some of the plot contrivances… fans of Grey's Anatomy looking for something fresh-faced on a similar soapy level will relish the melodrama".[15]
