The Human Jungle (1963–1964)
7/10
interesting viewing from 2021 but unrealistic.

Warning: Spoilers
Like several reviewers I got interested in this series due to it being shown on a UK tv channel.

I bought the dvd and enjoyed it.

The series features a psychiatrist who gets very involved with his patients.

The plots would have been daring for their time I think.

I assume the medical aspects of the stories are basic but you don't need to be interested in psychiatry to enjoy the show.

One reviewers says there are no black characters in it,I see 2 episodes with black lead characters and black actors feature in other episodes.

But it is unrealistic,the doctors teenage daughter helps with with patients for example.

Nearly everybody smokes and wear sheepskin coats.

The good doctor has a social conscience and plots give an insight into how mid 1960s Britain saw itself.
