[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I must be the only one who is meh about this. 7 episodes in and done.  To me it was ER in 2025 and I loooooove ER.  That is still a comfort show of mine.  This was to me exactly like ER.  The prob I also had is that who can go through that much intensity in an 8 he shift day in and out without a nervous breakdown?! Holy shit - it's just too much drama and heavy to watch and it's just a show for me - it lost me when it breaks down the time frame like that.  I also do not believe any busy ER doc would have taken the compassion to do what Noah's character did like give the brain dead teens parents that much time to absorb his death by ordering brain scan tests and what not.  I simply did not believe the stories the way h believed them on ER.  It just seemed like it reflects everything wrong in todays world in that it's telling the same story as ER but for me it's a complex bore - the original was so much more compelling because it was easier somehow.  This is just so complex it bored me.[/quote]

I hear you. I also don’t buy that a busy ER doc would ask to attend the funeral of a kid he literally just met that day. Or sit in a room and cry like that. It felt a little like ER but different. And not as interesting. [b]I want to see more relationship stuff.[/b] [/quote]

This isn't that kind of show, so it sounds like it's not directed to you as an audience. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but all the interviews indicate this is aimed at healthcare workers (many of whom are decidedly not interested in the drama and relationship stuff in medical shows), and it has really hit home for them.

It's different from pretty much all other medical shows. Some people who like other medical shows will like it, but some won't. That is sort of by design.[/quote]

I disagree. They actually have started showing some glimpses of relationships - Javadi and Mateo. Santos and Garcia? I think they will be moving towards that in the future.[/quote]

I mean, of course they speak to each other and have some level of relationship. This is not a show about robots. But it's never going to be designed around that primarily, a'la Grey's Anatomy.[/quote]

Well Javadi asked Matteo out early on and he said no. Then she did some bad ass moves during the big casualty event and then he agreed. I think something is brewing. [/quote]

I think they would be cute together but I did find it strange that she asked him out on her first day of work. Didn't seem realistic. [/quote]
