Episode 2 brings a mass infusion of new characters, including an oncologist played by Providence vet Melina Kanakaredes, that leaves the cast feeling overcrowded. But two episodes in, The Resident still shows plenty of storytelling potential, with real tension and intriguing character dynamics to dive into. It doesn’t flinch at showing how our health-care system is run like a for-profit business. Read full review

Medical procedurals are typically too color-by-numbers for my taste, but that's not the case here. With well-placed touches of humor, interesting storylines and a special cast, "The Resident" is a prescription you should have filled. Read full review

If it doesn't break any new ground in the genre, it efficiently delivers a familiar mix of ethical conundrums and colorful characters, with just enough blood and sex to seem "real" in TV terms. Read full review

Although the series milks melodrama at every opportunity, it explores interesting ethical issues arising from its fundamental premise that a medical institution’s concern for the bottom line sometimes takes priority over saving lives. Read full review

[The Resident] is an exercise in frustration. Self-important, predictable and inconsistent, the series delivers bland stories about terrible people playing God, just because they can. Read full review

Granted some of the stories are probably a little extreme, but come one people, it's television. It's meant to entertain. I, for one, am very entertained and thoroughly enjoy this show. Hope to see it around for many more seasons!… Expand

Most Doctor hospital shows are not so great, but there are 2 that are truly amazing and this is one of them. I created an account here so i could write this review.

This is a brilliantly written and acted show. I feel those who gave it a low rating and trashed the show claiming it's not real, well it's totally real, that's the sad part. I know many who have gone through hell in the hands of doctors, not just me.

I feel that those negative reviews are written by doctor's, others in the medical community, and their families who reap the financial benefits, yet sometimes hurt patients in unimaginable ways. Some of you even admit you work in healthcare, stop hiding the truth, the corruption happens everywhere.

Thank you to the talented writers and actors exposing the medical community! Don't be intimidated by powerful doctor's who want the truth hidden.… Expand

Of course medical professionals will be unhappy with some of the over-the-top escapades. To me the realism is shown in the over size egos and the no-win dilemmas that caregivers face every day. There were dishonest actions which were compassionate, and perfectly legal actions which were despicable. The acting is first rate, the actors are attractive, their roles seem well-rounded. I say give it time. If you didn't like it, go back to watching The Bachelor, and give this show time to get even better. The network needs to give the show plenty of promotion and let the writers learn to use their scalpels with care.… Expand

Neat medical drama, if a little unrealistic with some cringe scenes that seem nonsensical at times. Looking very forward to future episodes nonetheless.

I have been able to accurately summarize the plots after less than ten minutes into each episode. The writers need to fix this problem if this show is to survive. Also, if this show is about sticking it to the evil medical bureaucracy over and over, this show will get stale pretty quickly.

The three main characters are enjoyable for the most part, but the minor characters, including the chief surgeon, are not. The writers and the director(s) need to work on this as well.

As least the first four episodes did not bore me - which most of the soapy medical dramas do anymore. I like plots that are mainly focused on the medicine and not typical soapy relationships.

Since this is fiction I’ll not repeat the complaints authored by the medical professionals here. It’s fiction and not a real medical facility - we get it!

Anyway, this show has some potential if it gets better writing and we don’t have to wait long for the evil characters to get their just desserts. Change it up and keep it about good medicine and there might be a future for this show.… Expand

I had DVR's this from Sunday. I watched about 10 minutes of the Pilot and moved it to my "Must Miss" list! Another bust as far as I'm concerned!

I have been a nurse for over 40 years and found this show disgusting. It reeks of white privilege and is a discredit to the medical profession.
