    Virtuous young doctors battle corrupt old doctors for the soul of a hospital--when they're not angsting around in plots familiar from a hundred other medical soaps. That's it, really. A bland show gets a bland review.

    Being in the medical field for over 27yrs I can honestly state without hesitation this is the most unrealistic representation of clinicians caring for patients. The first scene is a disgrace. Please know nurses are the ones at the bedside that save the lives of patients. I understand TV needs to sensationalize in order to obtain rating but don't degrade the medical profession.

    Just watched the 1st episode. This was perhaps the worst medical show I've seen ever. It is definitely the worst show I've seen so far in 2018. This was a failure. There's enough corrupt, jerks in the world without trying to celebrate them in a TV show about doctors.

    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. Yes, there are incompetent people in the profession, but they are not allowed to function at the expense of their patients. I expect TV shows about medicine to show empathy, and ethics, and to educate as we all must take a more active role inI have been a nurse for over 40 years and found this show disgusting.

    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!

    Initial response is that I like the show but as a critical care nurse there is multiple flaws in the patient care and such that makes the show very flawed. Is there even a qualified consultant

    The conflict between doctors, which reminded me of the great 2004 BBC drama Bodies, could make for potent medical drama. But first, Conrad and his allies are going to have to come down off their soapbox. [22 Jan - 4 Feb 2018, p.13]

    Painfully familiar hospital drama that starts off sloppy but improves.

    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.
