Critical: Between Life and Death OTT Release Date - When and where to watch Jermaine Blake-directed docuseries
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.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's $100M Netflix deal ends: Fans call content 'basic' and 'tone-deaf' as streaming giant walks away
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's much-publicised Netflix deal is officially wrapping up. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed a multi-year production agreement with the streaming giant back in 2020, reportedly worth around $100 million. But as the deal approaches its September expiration, both parties have confirmed it will not be renewed. The news, first reported by The Sun and later confirmed by sources to People, marks a turning point in the couple's media journey post-royal exit. Why Netflix isn't renewing the Sussexes' $100M contract According to multiple reports, the decision not to extend the deal wasn't fuelled by drama or fallouts. A Hollywood source told The Sun, 'There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course.' Netflix is said to be shifting away from mega-deals in general, focusing instead on first-look or project-based agreements. A similar strategy shift affected Netflix's arrangement with Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions. While Harry and Meghan's partnership delivered some initial hits, the overall volume and impact of content reportedly fell short of expectations. Not enough content and underwhelming performance One of the key reasons behind the non-renewal appears to be the lack of consistent, high-performing content. While the couple produced a few projects under the deal, including the record-breaking Harry & Meghan docuseries, Netflix insiders expected more regular output. Meghan's lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, made some waves at launch, even cracking the global Top 10 for a brief moment, but engagement tapered off. According to Netflix's July 2025 Engagement Report, the series ranked No. 383 with 5.3 million views since March. Another project, Polo, executive-produced by the couple, garnered just 500,000 views and ranked at No. 3,436. Season 2 of With Love, Meghan will still release this fall, as it was filmed alongside Season 1. How did fans react to the development? Reddit users weren't surprised by the news and had a lot to say. One person wrote, 'It's not being renewed because they didn't deliver as much content as Netflix expected, and it wasn't a major success. Season 2 of Meghan's show was filmed alongside Season 1, so the streaming platform didn't need to renew it separately. The show wasn't a big hit, but honestly, that's not surprising. Launching a lifestyle series in today's political and social climate feels tone-deaf and out of touch.' Another user commented, 'I like her, but she's no Martha or Ina, and the stuff she was doing on her show was very basic. Netflix was expecting more, and stuff that'd have been fine on a lifestyle blog like The Tig 10 years ago isn't going to work in today's environment.' Some reactions were harsher, with one user saying, 'I still can't believe they kept giving them this much money for subpar content,' while another sarcastically added, 'I'm sure this will give them the privacy they so desperately want.' A quick look at what they produced Despite the mixed results, the couple did deliver several projects under their Netflix banner, Archewell Productions. The biggest hit was clearly Harry & Meghan, a six-part docuseries that chronicled their exit from royal life and became Netflix's most-watched documentary debut ever. Other projects included the animated series Pearl (which was later cancelled), the short documentary Heart of Invictus focusing on veterans and the Invictus Games, Live to Lead featuring interviews with global changemakers, and Polo, which flew under the radar. Meghan's With Love, Meghan lifestyle series was the fifth and latest release from the deal, offering a glossy peek into her life in Montecito with celebrity guests and branded products. So is it over between Meghan-Harry and Netflix? Although their multi-year Netflix deal is ending, this doesn't necessarily mean the end of their relationship with the platform. Season 2 of With Love, Meghan is still set to release in fall 2025 with Chrissy Teigen as the first confirmed guest. Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever continues to partner with Netflix's CPG division, and Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos described the collaboration as a 'big discovery model' for the company.
