ddyrr When I first started watching, I wasn't sure if I liked it or hated it. After watching every episode, I've decided that I love it!It's a really odd show. The style sort of reminds me of a reality show, and the characters are really strange. I'm a sci-fi fanatic, and I think the fact that the show is so weird is probably what appeals to me more than anything.A lot of people have compared it to House, but it's so completely different. It's much more weird, and in my opinion, better. I like House, but every show is exactly the same. This show always surprises me.
fg400a OK, i don't know how to start this. Each and every aspect of the show is just terrible, the storytelling, the editing, the direction, the characters and of course, the actors.Oh, and it seems like every show now must have a gay character. I don't have a problem with that, the problem appears when the character has to say 25 times per episode that she is gay, come on! It's so forced it tears any script apart. Then we have the main knowing-all character, who is so cute, unorthodox and intelligent as unreal as it can get. We have thousands of this characters in other shows, being a much better version The Mentalist character...we didn't need a new one. We also have this cheap look along the episodes, I don't know why, it looks like a soap opera shot with cheap cameras and edited by a cheap editor. Yes, I mean cheap.I would recommend staying away from this show, and if this gets a second season I will probably cry. Well, not really, but I would pretend.
berndt65 I must agree with the 99% of the comment about this show. Fox must be "Mental" themselves to think people will support this House rip-off. All of the characters are also House rip-offs. The hospital administrator the overlooks his tactics and always gives him a chance, the black "know-it-all" doctor, the lesbian, the ladies man, the shy competent women doctor who doesn't like the bosses methods. And everything getting fixed at the end with quirky, questionable methods. Even the background music is similar. Even the acting is questionable, the actors don't seem to believe in their own characters. I predict it will not make the fall line-up.
h_i_d_d_e_n They copied every routine detail house series: - conflicts with female boss(Lisa Cuddy clone), - weird undiagnosed illnesses that others can't cure, - contradictory diagnoses, - giving orders to other doctors, - time shortage, - crazy-looking and unexpected behavior, - and even "braking and entering" but instead of coping movie's personality they should concentrate on more important factors such as: - quality acting, - quality camera-work, - quality sound... Oh yes and quality ideas... I surprised fox even showed it. Yes, I watched 1st episode to the last minute, I thought maybe they at least have an interesting idea, but no...
