Critical: Between Life and Death OTT Release Date - When and where to watch Jermaine Blake-directed docuseries
Critical: Between Life and Death OTT Release Date - If you're someone who gets hooked on real-life hospital dramas like 24 Hours in A&E, Netflix's latest documentary series, Critical: Between Life and Death, is going to hit you hard. Landing globally on July 23, 2025, this is no ordinary medical docuseries. It's raw, real, and happening in real-time.
What's it about?
Critical: Between Life and Death offers unprecedented access to the London Major Trauma System, one of the world's most advanced emergency response networks. The six-part series tracks every single step of life-saving medical intervention from the initial 999 call to the paramedics racing through traffic, to the surgeons making split-second decisions, and finally to the rehabilitation phase.
The series spans four of London's top trauma centres:
Royal London Hospital
King's College Hospital
St George's Hospital
St Mary's Hospital
These facilities handle thousands of emergency cases a day. The trauma response system covered in this series serves more than 10 million people across London and surrounding areas. And when they say 'critical,' they mean it; life and death decisions are being made every single minute.
The show is filmed using bodycams, portable single cameras, and on-the-go interview setups, placing the viewer right next to the action, whether it's a roadside resuscitation, a mid-air helicopter rescue, or open-heart surgery. Critical: Between Life and Death is made by The Garden, the British production house that knows this space inside out.
They've previously delivered hits like:
24 Hours in A&E (Channel 4)
24 Hours in Police Custody
Squid Game: The Challenge
Attack on London: Hunting the 7/7 Bombers
Crew details:
Director: Jermaine Blake
Executive Producer: Spencer Kelly
Co-Executive Producers: Louise Bartmann, Rebecca Arnold
Series Producers: Mahi Iftikhar, Andrew Fitzpatrick
So mark your calendar. Because on July 23, Critical: Between Life and Death is going to take you to places few cameras have ever gone and even fewer viewers have ever seen.
