    So it feels odd, the pleasure of watching the same old Scrubs tempered by the slight feeling that we’re getting reheated leftovers. A lot of the humour is still sharp and it has its old moral compass — there is an affecting storyline involving a man who cannot afford his heart medication. But what, you slightly wonder, is the point?

    In 2026, “Scrubs” is still J.D.’s show, for better or worse.

    This revival isn’t a Netflix-seasons-of-Arrested-Development-level embarrassment. It’s just a museum piece: still funny in bursts, still boosted by the chemistry of the core cast, but hampered by all the elements that frequently tripped the show up in its closing seasons.

    The new “Scrubs” may not be essential TV in the way the original once felt at its cultural peak, but it’s thoughtful, frequently funny and occasionally disarming. Time has changed these characters, and the show is wiser for it.
