aan_ke Well... I must say... that last episode... I didn't see that coming... how much bad luck can a couple have... I really cried my eyes out, like I knew them... really crazy... for me, best medical serie ever!

chr36 Can't stop watching. Maggie has the biggest eyes i have ever seen! I expected this show would turn soap opera after two seasons like most others. Refreshingly it hasn't happened after 4 seasons. Great writing. Something odd, they all seem to have the same dentist. Check out their front teeth. It's great some of the men don't have stubble! Great effects.

skllpn As a retired nurse of 50 years, I have watched every medical show from Medic with Richard Boone to the present ones. Somewhere I missed Saving Hope tho until recently, when I found it on ION. I came in early in season 2,but was able to catch up on season 1 on line. I was hooked before the first episode ended. I never watched Stargate or Smallville so was not familiar with the actors portraying Charlie and Alex but immediately felt they were not just actors in a part, they WERE Charlie and Alex. They are excellent! As a nurse, I've seen a lot of hospital "life" and what goes on with both patients, and staff, and Saving Hope is right, on both counts. The story lines for the entire cast are believable, because it's life in a hospital, and who knows how many souls are wandering around the halls, trying to "right" their lives, before they pass on to a better place? I read all the reviews, even spoilers, and was sorry to find Joel dies at the end of season 3. I will miss him, but am sure the writers will continue to keep me glued to my TV.

o-lO-o-Ol-o 5% fascinating, 95% fluff.That is Saving Hope as it currently stands.It will require breaking in a lot of innovative storytelling if the show is ever going to deserve more than a 5%.One exciting aspect of this show is that it uses a surgeon and a hospital setting to explore a mysterious presence between life and death alongside his ability to function as a medium between the living and the minds of spirit-like people with out of body experiences, all the while "TBD" is stamped on their bodies, waiting to see if they will live or die.Unfortunately, that is the only exciting component to this show.The rest of the show is so unoriginal and so weakly handled that it ruins the entire series.The show would do much better if the writers & producers would shift the 5% fascinating story and 95% fluff-filled story at least to a 50% mystical and 50% medical type story. Better yet, cut the 50% medical down even more and introduce outside elements.New settings. Leave the hospital, even if just for part of the series. Introduce something else, someone else.Greater plot developments on the mysterious ability to interact with spirits.A third concept. It needs at least a third concept that is as equally significant to the show as the mystical and medical.It needs more good storytelling and less blasé storytelling.Not just the redundant, predictable layers of excrement that the show is producing from the medical drama side of the story but more of a mix with the one truly interesting component that gives it a heartbeat.Bring in the government. Something else.Mix it up a bit.It needs to branch out beyond the confined walls of a mystic in a hospital.As it stands, the vast majority of this show is so flat, so bland that the small amount of flavoring that they add to it just isn't enough. It's like eating cardboard with a dash of seasoning.I have attempted to stick with this show but if they don't give us the full course meal and live up to the shows potential, it will be useless to even bother keeping up with it.Let the mindless flocks of medical drama fans glue their eyes to the screen. Aside from the Shanks and Durance fans, they're probably the only other viewers that are keeping this show alive.
