[quote=Anonymous]I just watched this and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it (I loved St Elsewhere and ER, and assumed this would be a poor imitator). I really liked the hour by hour format, and foubd the show to feel more “real,” and therefore I found myself surprisingly emotional, than a lot of other medical dramas.

I agree with the posters who said that the show did a good job of integrating the memory of covid and how it does affected and/or still affects the medical staff, without making it all about that.  I also liked how many of the character background pieces were implied but not overt- Dr Abbott’s combat experience, Dr Roby’s relationship with Jesse, Dr Langdon’s kid on austism spectrum (I’m inferring that one).

Of course I could come up with critiques but overall I found this well done and enjoyable to watch.

A question for those with medical knowledge - were the med students the only doctors who were there but did not necessarily have an interest in emergency medicine as their specialty, I guess I’m asking if they were there simply as one of many “required” rotations and the rest of the doctors had selected ER medicine as their specialty? I liked the (24 hr, haha) ark of Dr Mohan’s character, but wasn’t sure why she chose an ER residency in the first place. [/quote]
