    The eight-episode first season ends up more emotionally nourishing than intellectually satisfying. ... The show is structured to make you invest in the men as doctors, while our main concerns about Amanda and Mirtha inevitably revolve around their pregnancies (and resolve to work around them). ... I'm fairly sure that for the directors, the contrasts is intentional, and they'd characterize it as reflecting a specific professional gender divide rather than reinforcing it. The effect is nevertheless limiting and limited.

    Real doctors, real heroes. The human and material resources that this hospital has are enviable and should be replicated.

I am very skeptical, these doctors sure seem to all want to do the right thing, but as a profession I know doctors to be arrogant, ignorant and greedy. Full Review »
