    With wannabe sensational plotlines and not-at-all-sensational dialogue, Inconceivable feels duly artificial. [23 Sep 2005, p.83]

    Even with its erratic start, "Inconceivable" still manages to deliver a fair share of escapist, bun-in-the-oven fun.

    "Inconceivable" is a much more tentative exercise than "Nip/Tuck," offering only the mildest hints of comment on the world it depicts, of affluent people going to great lengths to bear children.

    A strong cast... breathes life into what might otherwise be just one more tepid medical drama.

    Does it deliver excitement? So far, no. [3 Oct 2005, p.39]

    It's not clear yet how well the show will balance the fertility doctor's high jinks with patient scenarios.

    Too much of the setup is a sad, cheesy cross between "Grey's Anatomy" and "Nip/Tuck."

    Like a test-tube baby, "Inconceivable" has the feeling of a series birthed less by passion than clinical precision.

    Much of this is utter nonsense. Life at a real fertility clinic is certainly a lot more humdrum, with fewer sexy nurses and doctors, a lower success record and longer debates about which clients to treat.
