action
season 1
Cath Hardacre works as a nurse in a Sheffield hospital . When she criticizes the hospital management for the fact that more and more patients are being neglected because of the working conditions, she is discharged. She meets with a journalist from a local newspaper to make the grievances public. However, due to the expected risk to her reputation upon publication, she is withdrawing from this plan. Your friend Dr. Ally Sutton, previously working as a doctor at the same hospital, emigrates to New Zealand . At her farewell party, Cath finds Ally's application documents including certificates and CV in the trash. Using these and hoping for a secure livelihood, she takes on Ally's identity and successfully applies to be a doctor at an Edinburgh hospital .
Cath moves to Edinburgh with her young daughter Molly and starts working as Dr. Ally Sutton working in the hospital emergency room. Your supervisor Dr. Rayne feels that she is overqualified for the job and she quickly enjoys great sympathy among nurses. She buys a professionally forged identity card and uses it to prove her identity to the clinic management. She keeps in touch with her old homeland, sometimes visiting her demented, sick father in a nursing home and Molly's father Karl, who has alcohol problems and often little money. She keeps her new identity in Edinburgh a secret from Karl. At work she befriends her divorced colleague Dr. Andy Brenner, who falls in love with her. When he takes a call from her father's nursing home on Cath's cell phone, he hears her first name Cath. During internet research, he learns Cath's true identity, which he confronts her shortly afterwards. She agrees to his desire to move in with him because he loves her; he keeps her secret understanding.
During the initial examination of a patient, Dr. Rayne makes a bad decision by sending him home against Ally's request. When the patient is admitted again in critical condition, Ally manages the necessary tracheotomy only with considerable difficulty, the patient remains without oxygen for too long. As a result, the hospital management has a possible misconduct by the doctors in the treatment of the patient investigated. Ally hides her recent discovery that Dr. Rayne drank alcohol on duty. Ally and Cath's dismay at her difficulties in treating patients leads her to give up her false identity and return to her old life with Molly in Sheffield.
Meanwhile, contrary to Cath's consent, Karl has been transferred to Edinburgh on business in order to be closer to Molly, secretly he hopes for a reconciliation with Cath. When he meets her, just as she is about to leave Edinburgh, she is forced to reveal her double life to him. In order to prevent him from calling the police about it, she promises to live with him again. While packing their things in Brenner's house, they are surprised by Brenner. While trying to protect Molly, who had meanwhile walked alone onto the street, from the traffic, Karl was hit by a car and injured. The supply of Karl in the hospital stabilizes him initially. When Brenner is alone with him shortly afterwards, there are suddenly complications from which Karl dies. Brenner denies to Cath that he deliberately helped with Karl's death. A little later, Dr. Rayne - officially for stress relief at work - are taking several months off work. Ally agrees to the suggestion, supported by Brenner and Rayne, to make her the de facto substitute head of the emergency room, shortly afterwards she takes up her duty as such.

reception
The performance of the leading actress Jodie Whittaker received high praise from critics. At Spiegel Online, for example, it was said: The way Whittaker "changes identities between two breaths and mirrors the feat of concealing doubts in her facial expressions" is amazing. "The four-part series works" despite the final twist as an exciting, complete whole " . In the FAZ , the critic found Whittaker's performance to be impressive. In her facial expressions there is "so much conflicting tension that one constantly reckons with a confession, but at the same time relieves her of the iron clinging to the ever more stately building of lies, precisely because there is no cool logic in this fraud." The series also sets the conditions in understaffed hospitals is "credible" and it is not a shortcoming that it undermines "an answer to the moral question that has been pressing for four hours in the face of identity theft".
In the British RadioTimes , the critic Eleanor Bley Griffiths said that Trust Me is an exciting drama and very well written, but only works so well because Whittaker is so good.
