tlc (2002): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2002, tlc is a comedia series.

What it’s about. tlc is a darkly surreal farce-like sitcom created and written by Fintan Coyle, set in a fictional NHS hospital called South Middlesex where coffee is traded like drugs and pretty much everyone has a personality complex. Dr Laurence Flynn finds himself thrown in at the deep end when he gets his first job after leaving Medical School (where he failed his finals). Always the butt of jokes by other staff (being called on to revive dead people)he has to cope not only with the patients but mad colleagues too – an ex surgeon now the hospital chaplain and a German theatre assistant with a masochistic kink. The show never confirms what 'tlc' stands for, although it's presumed to be a sarcastic reference to the widely used abbreviation for 'tender loving care', but could equally refer to the alternative yet related abbreviation 'total lack of concern'.

Who’s in it. tlc stars Reece Shearsmith as Dr Laurence Flynn, Alexander Armstrong as Dr Stephen Noble, Richard Griffiths as Mr Benedict Ron and Georgia Mackenzie as Nurse Judy Conway, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.2/10, tlc has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
