Dr. Collins is a little stoic and private, but she's not cold. Having worked in an ER, doctors like her are often pretty interesting once you get past the facade.


Yes, to me she comes off as someone who is professional and gets the job done without a lot of fuss or fanfare. Capable and calm! I guess calm people don’t make the most dramatic tv, but people like her are actually the best to work with in real life!

His son was the young adult who came in and was talking about going to a music festival. Dr. Langdon was joking with him about having a girlfriend.

It’s still possible. The guy might’ve been scared s h I t less because this crazy intense doctor was spewing all this at him while he had a tube in his throat.

There was a high school/college kid that visited and everyone gave him condoms. He was clearly well known and beloved by the staff. He came to pick up a pass to a festival, and Dr. Rabi gave him it. Said something about his mother.

Same. Perhaps that storyline isn't finished.

We started watching it last week and caught up. Does it drop on Thursdays?



The head nurse is phenomenal and it’s very much in the tradition of ER to have her be the heart and soul of the place. The actress really plays her so well. In general the show is very well cast.


I totally agree!

Dr Collins is okay, regardless of the current lack of back story the actress played the miscarriage very well.

Dr King is so good though. She is stealing the show.

Don’t like women who aren’t warm enough and may or may not be having a baby as a single mother? You must have been thrilled to see her miscarrying last week.

MAGA trash views polluting another entertainment thread.

Anyway, back to the show. You’re not supposed to like everyone because it’s meant to be a more realistic portrayal of a busy city ER. Not everyone at work is likable, and different people respond to different personalities. All of the characters are interesting, and the writing is great. I love how we’re getting to know so much about the characters in a single day. I like seeing the complex dynamics that make the ER work despite all of the brokenness of the system.


Dr. Collin’s isn’t interesting to me at all. Snooze fest.

Agree it's realistic. What is the first thing a woman fearing a miscarriage does? Check her underwear.


It definitely was realistic, but realistic things can be gross.


It's a show about an ER. If you want something that has zero risk of being "gross" try a cooking show.

Blood in underwear is probably the least gross blood-involving incident in the whole show so far.
