The show has a real understanding of how episodes need to be paced, and they are filled with the right amount of character-building when it comes to each week’s patients, and enough bit-by-bit progress as the doctors investigate and bounce theories off one another. The stories are rich, rather than perfunctory.

Its way of narratively putting viewers into patients' minds creates a startlingly empathetic showcase of medical hardship, with audiences easily seeing themselves within these nuanced portrayals of injury as well as the emotional stress of trying to help others heal.
