Perfect cast and a good story

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I tuned into this show because of Beth Riesgraf whom I used to love watching in Leverage and Jason O'Mara who I used to watch in Vegas and Terra Nova before those three shows wrongly got canceled. However, in this show, I kept thinking to myself --- for some supposedly educated people they sure are stupid. For example, in episode 7 instead of agreeing to steal the drugs to get the guy off the phone why not agree until he left THEN call the gang and let them take care of it. In episode 8 instead of John going down there after having killed some one of their gang members why not just have Gretchen go instead. She already has been there successfully and they have good feelings towards her. She ended up having to go there any way to rescue him. Better yet, why not just call the cops? And what did he think was going to happen when he told the first gang that they were going to be attacked??? LOL... Beth Riesgraf is pretty much the only reason I keep watching.

I was hoping for a House like show. Not even close. O'Mara is a great actor. I don't know how great actors get caught up in shows like this. He was great in Life on Mars. How do show's like that one get canceled?Every episode is about women complaining about something. Almost every scene will have a woman complaining about something. It is like being married to 7 unhappy women. I didn't see one happy woman in any of the episodes. Why is this so popular to women?I can overlook the ridiculous and unbelievable circumstances this doctor puts himself into or finds himself in. I can overlook the bad acting of the other actors. I can overlook the all the inconsistencies of what would happen in real life.But, the constant scenes of complaining women....it makes you want to have your lawyer draw up divorce papers, even if you aren't married.

Unlike a previous reviewer, I do find the show believable. Can all the events that the main character experienced happen to a real person (his daughter died the previous year, he's taking a dying squirrel to the vet when he witnesses a gang shooting and then assists in saving the victim. In the process he has to shoot a gang member driving at him to run his victim down, the gang looks for an opportunity to finish of the victim at the hospital (less likely), the victim's father threatens the doctor to do something which the doctor does out of concern for his patient (the shooting victim), etc.)? Yes, kind of. Is it likely? Not really, but this is TV. It's a hell of a lot more believable than so many other TV shows currently out now that are really popular. More to the point, I find myself rooting for this doctor against all these odds. He's heroic in a world lacking heroes. It's a good message and good TV. I originally approached it with the opinion that this, like so many other new TV series, was going to be one that I would summarily 86 after the 1st episode. Not so. Not at all.Excellent cast, especially Jason O'Mara. Can't think of a better actor for this role. I think he's even better than in "Life on Mars".\Really, watch it. You won't be disappointed.

The show started in a mysteriously catchy intriguing way a moment and its 10 hours ago flashback isn't new but here it felt really fresh, where in the psychic office another flashbacks appear like a web with the park shooting with the memories of his daughter .. just to make you understand well what's really the story and make you more and more engaged in the plot. The story itself is not strictly into medical shows and all as i expected it to be which would've made it a regular copy of "grey's anatomy" or "the night shift" but this one got it's own personality by the concept of saving someone not just medically but like really saving him ;) And it never stops surprising you with new tangled events where you'd expect things are just simple for such show. After "Burn Notice" Matt Nix did a good job on this script the show looked so much precise and on point you just want to know what's gonna happen next and how he got himself involved in this mess where things escalated quickly from a shooting in a park to a gang war to attempt murder in the 3rd episode ;) ....As for the cast,, well at first i didn't really feel that Jason O'Mara was a good choice for the lead ,, i don't know, his face felt a bit rigid and inflexible but as the scenes rolled his expressions evolved and got more involved on the show. The nurse Gretchen "Jessica Szohr" is Daaaaamn hot with her tattoos also Eric Edelstein character as drug addict was spot on.Overall, USA network made a bold yet a great choice picking this show on the screen ,, and from three episodes so far i really have a good feeling about this one ,, and i think it'll make a fine success._____________ Update ______________________well it's episode 7 here and honestly things are heating up quickly .. the thrill is at it on the same high level ... Excited and eager for more ..____________________________________________
