After Hippocrates, the series which plunges inside the hospital in France, here with less means, a series which makes us enter this time in the universe of a psychiatric hospital, HP.
A patient puts on a gown and thinks he is a doctor who sees patients. A character victim of Cotard syndrome, is convinced to be dead. A man imagines himself as a king. The series, both funny and dramatic, tells behind the scenes: the burn-out of interns, the culture of numbers in the hospital and the work of doctors.
And in the middle, Sheila, a young intern, wonderfully interpreted by Tiphaine Daviot, with her big hazel eyes and her candor. It is she who brings us into the world of the psychiatric hospital. And it was this theme that first interested her:
“The psychiatric hospital is really something that we all know, from more or less far, but which is actually part of the intimate life of many people, but which we never talk about. shameful, weird, weird. And I thought it was great to talk about that. “

“As much there is a lot of fictions around the hospital universe, but not so much on the psychiatric hospital. There, there is something which is more complicated with the human one, and which I found very interesting,” specifies the young actress.

“This is also great in the psychiatric hospital, adds Tiphaine Daviot, it’s all the poetry that it also tells, because there is something crazy, all the pathologies that we talk about, each time, are real pathologies, and at the same time they are people who are doing badly and who are in distress, and at the same time, sometimes, it’s still super beautiful too, or astonishing, or burlesque. “
This is the second season of HP, a series of 10 30-minute episodes available on OCS. A darker second season according to Tiphaine Daviot.
“She’s more political. We go down a bit with Sheila, we follow her in her descent, which we could almost say to hell. She gets banged in the face in this second season, and it is in the image also from the hospital which is described by the way as sick, at one point, by one of the patients trying to treat the hospital. It’s a bit ‘Titanic’ anyway. “
A series both touching and comedic, wonderfully played.
