I just finished watching the so called first season of Do No Harm and it was just awesome and it really surprised me that this show was canceled.I never felt bored watching any of the episodes it just got me hooked in from the start, During the first half of the season it reminded me a bit of Dexter (though i am not comparing both). The season finale was just perfect making us curious about what would happen next.I Just hope that they release at least 1 or 2 more episodes just to conclude the series.The acting was really good especially Steven Pasquale who handled both the characters really well.I am not sure why it was given such low ratings ,for me it deserved a 9 if not a perfect 10

OK, so I tuned in to this show having seen some adverts and thought it was an interesting idea. No mention was made of it being a Jekyll and Hyde remake. I genuinely thought it was a program tackling the very serious issue of Dissociative identity disorder. It took me a couple of episodes to figure out what the show was trying to do. In that time I became increasingly frustrated by the little details - such as Jason and Ian being chemically different. Once I worked out that it was Jekyll and Hyde I relaxed a bit more, and have thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the season. The acting was superb, couldn't be faulted at any point. It had real, real potential. I think it's now clear exactly what went wrong with this show - it sold itself as apples when really it was pears. As a show about Dissociative identity disorder it was woefully misinformed, incorrect on many aspects and sometimes just plain silly. As a remake of the classic it was an outstanding and excellent version. I don't really understand the idea of being coy in regards to actually outright telling the viewers that it was Jekyll and Hyde. Viewers would have been less confused and fans of the original story (or one of the many variations) may have been more inclined to tune in. It's very sad that this show hasn't had the chance it deserves. The plot, pace, acting and directing all seemed to be top notch.

with seeing the first 2 episodes i was hooked loved the concept. Then i heard that that was it: it had been cancelled. How can this be i thought. Are people watching this show or not because this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I think that this show is in the top 5 best shows to date, so i don't understand why it got cancelled. They have started to air the rest of the series, but after that that is it. Which is a shame because it is a very good show. I just hope that with the airing of the rest of the series. It grabs the attention of the public and a fan base forms.It Really does deserve it.

This show features Steven Pasquale in a dual role as altruistic neurosurgeon Jason and his rough-edged, womanizing criminal alter ego Ian. Pasquale brilliantly, fearlessly portrays both characters showing shocking differences between the two of them even though they look exactly the same. One look at Ian and the viewer knows he is someone different.Is Jason's eagerness to repress Ian well-founded prejudice based upon a large critical mass of evidence suggesting that Ian is irredeemably diabolical, brutal and sadistic? Or is Ian just impulsive, primal and drawn to trouble that he can't always get himself out of? The machinations of both personalities of the lead character in attempting to thwart the agenda of the other make for a continuously intriguing point-counterpoint as they fight for control. Ian is unpredictable but Jason has been able to find ways around that in the past and continually formulates new ones.Everywhere they take this concept is interesting as both sides of the lead character are well-defined and contrasted with each other. It gives the audience biting commentary on self identity and human nature. Few shows or films I have reviewed offer as sophisticated a take on either. Few shows or films I have reviewed offer as entertaining exploration of a similar theme.There is also not a single supporting performance on this show which is anything less than exceptional. Alana De La Garza, Phylicia Rashad among others are intensely convincing helping solidify the realism of a very bold premise.Given that this series is excellent but has horrifically bad ratings I really can say that it is the most underrated show in TV history. Sadly TV audiences en masse prefer that goofy Sherlock Holmes rip-off on CBS or ABC's 'Scandal' in the time-slot.
