What’s odd here is that even with the influx of injured, Chicago Med never builds any dramatic heat.
-
Though it's nice to see a hospital that is not run by drug addicts or operating way over its abilities, the staff at Chicago Med is maddeningly homogenous in its sincerity and ability.
-
A familiar, by-the-numbers procedural, where grave medical conditions bring out the best in people--and the emergency room pandemonium rolls off everyone’s back. It’s the anti-“Grey’s Anatomy” doctor show.
-
In a medium where drama junkies increasingly seem to need recaps to confirm (or explain) what they've seen, there's a place for a relatively old-fashioned medical show, especially one with a cast this appealing.
-
The writers fill Chicago Med with just enough character work to make the players interesting.
-
The heart-tugging medical stories and conflicts all feel familiar, none of them delivered with anything that approaches a fresh twist.
-
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Chicago Med marks yet another routine entry and doggedly follows the same beats as its forbears, most notably the Chicago-set ER.
-
Chicago Med is so exactly what you expect it to be that there’s practically no point describing it, a bad thing if you like your shows innovative and unpredictable, but a good thing if you can’t get enough trauma room gore and dramatics.
-
Chicago Med isn't bad. If you're looking for just another medical show, this is it. If you're looking for something that will reach out and grab you, you're going to be disappointed.
-
None of these [Dick Wolf Chicago] shows are groundbreaking. All have dialogue is lumpy. But for viewers who crave the familiar, there is something comforting about attractive people saving the day.
-
Despite being given limited opportunities to shine, Merkerson, and Oliver Platt (as the head of psychiatry) do best, and the rest of the regular cast do well. The actors playing the patients and their families uniformly do not.
-
The tired nature of the material suggests this could be one of those TV operations that’s hard to deem a complete success even if the patient lives.
-
Padded with kids including an unborn child in medical danger, its corridors filled to capacity with the most attractive doctors this side of an afternoon soap opera, Chicago Med is not a subtle enterprise.
