Disagree, I like it. It has only been one day. Robbie has high standards, so he can take a little time.

In real life, could Landon even work in this environment again? Seems very risky. I would think he would lose his medical license, at least for a few years.

+1 As an addict in recovery, Langdon ought to expect that not everyone he screwed over is going to forgive him automagically. Nobody owes you a second chance to betray their trust.

As the person in charge, it's perfectly appropriate for Robbie to be keeping him at arm's length, watching him closely, and treating him like "low man" because he lost any status he had when he broke the rules. Expecting anyone to just take him back in with open arms is naive af. He's getting a second chance, which is probably more than he deserves. He shouldn't expect warm fuzzies and coddling on top. He needs to be willing to earn back the trust and respect he previously threw away with his poor decisions.

Agree. Also this situation is NOT like Carter on ER. He stole meds from patients, and should have gone to jail for that. In addition to losing his medical license for good. Robby covered for his crime, and he is having a hard time stomaching that. Understandable!

Carter also stole meds from a patient.

I'm curious if the people complaining about pacing watched the show week to week last year like this or binged.

They are building up to things. This is how last season was too. But if you binged all or much of the season, even if you just binged the first 4 or 5 episodes and then watched the rest week to week, this will feel "slow" compared to the last few episodes of Season 1, or that season in its entirety.

Then don't watch. Go back to TikTok.

I’m hoping something interesting happens soon. They really haven’t done much with Javadi, Santos (all she does is gripe about charting), or even Mohan. Come to think of it, they haven’t shown much of the dr with autism either.

I agree with this take. I binged season 1 and I've been doing weekly episodes of season 2 and I think that's why it feels slower, but I'm still entertained by it and look forward to the next episode.

It's more like watching that football channel that jumps between games to all of the scoring plays, tons of action but nothing holding it all together.

So one of you is complaining that not enough is happening and another one is complaining that too much is happening?

They just can't win with some people.

There is a flood of activity, but what percent is memorable? Horrific scene after horrific scene of people getting cut open, with little or no story behind it.

I feel like that last Santos reveal jumped the shark.

Love it. Glued to each episode.

So, I'm still stuck on a few things here after last night...

1) Mel's anxiety about the deposition is understandable. But, again, who is having a deposition on the Fourth of July? In what world?

2) It's pretty clear that Abbot is going to be balls deep in al-Hashimi soon. Holy cow. Assuming Mohan doesn't throw herself at him first. The way she treated that bullet graze ... oh boy.

3) I was really worried with the rape SANE scene there that they were going to depict this as some kind of regretted sex incident. On the one hand, it was fascinating to see how they process victims of SA, OTOH some of the compassion came across as a little condescending. And then when she refused the genital swab... Also, we're seven hours in to the episode, which makes it about 2 p.m. I'm trying to understand how she got sexually assaulted at a 4th of a July BBQ by a drunk friend in the middle of the day?

4) Cyberattack? Really? Come on, now.

5) To that end, what was with the goofy CEO summoning al-Hashimi but not Robby? Robby looked Big Mad.

6) Where the hell was Whitacker/Huckleberry last night? And what's with this "he spends all his time at this widow's farm" storyline? Are we to believe he's balls deep in the widow and raising a dead man's child?

At least not motorcycles sans helmet talk in this episode. They were starting to lay the foreshadowing on thick earlier.

I still love this show but I agree that the reality of the timing of the incidents is weird, case in point the depo on July Fourth or the kid studying in the college library in July?

I also feel like the scenes jump around much more this season so we are getting less of each player - like Whittacker last night and McKay has hardly been in this season at all.

Nothing wrong with a kid studying in the library in July. He’s studying for a law exam. My kid spent all last summer at his school library studying for the MCAT. It’s not unusual.

To the previous posters point number six, this was mentioned a few episodes ago. I think episode four, that Whitaker is now seeing the girl on the farm

Agreed that the timing is distracting from the realism. They should have made it July 5.

And the shut down of the computers with no notice also seems wildly unrealistic.

I still like the show, but it does not compare to the first season.

Maybe at home, but not in the library at 7am.
