When paramedics Tayls and Cate respond to a call, they find themselves navigating more than just a medical emergency. A secret pregnancy, a lover's quarrel and their own pent-up tensions bubble to the fore.

This scene explores the heightened intimacy paramedics experience in their line of work, which can be at once bizarre, hilarious and uncomfortably resonant. Tayls and Cate are prepared for blood and broken noses, but the pitfalls of relationships present stickier challenges. A sensitive balancing of slapstick comedy and real-world issues allows the characters to delve into the complexities of conception for same-sex couples, workplace attraction and the lengths we will go to for love.

With its focus on a spectrum of queer characters in a high-pressure environment, dark comedy series Triple Oh! combines the fun of tropey procedural television with fresh social insight.
