As a whole the show was kind of boring because each episode was very predictable and there was no development of the main characters but the chemistry between the three main doctors, the little jokes they made and the depth of the performances in the serious, more personal conversations they had, no matter how rare they were, showed that this series had potential that probably was overlooked by the writers. Each main character was interesting and had potential to be more developed on the background of the main plot which was the organ donation. I especially like the character of doctor Miranda Foster which was outstanding and original female with big spirit and determination which is something we can rarely see in a female character on TV. Kate Moenning performance was unique and gave depth to the character and made her believable. she has the charm of Robert Deniro for me.

Oh, I like this show very much. I am a fan of hospital shows and like to see how modern medicine can cure people. I like it that it that it does not revolve around the animal sex drives of the doctors and hospital staff like Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.I do however disagree with how they represent the way organs are procured. First of all, organs are very rarely every procured as fast as they portray and also the donor and recipient NEVER know each other.How do I know this? I had cornea transplants in 1980 and 1982. I had to wait 6 months for a donor on the 1st eye and 5 months on the 2nd almost loosing my eyesight both times.I was NEVER told who my donors were. A party to introduce donor families and recipients??? No way! Simply unheard of and illegal, at least in my state.I have been president of the board of directors for my state eye bank and on that board for 4 years. I even do on Pony Express runs getting donated eyes to people who need them in a hurry and they will not even let ME find out who my donors were, even after all these years.I have NO access to the list. Today, I see 20/30 and 20/25 thanks to my donors.Love the show, just not entirely realistic in some areas.

I really thought this show had a lot of promise. It was an interesting premise. They just didn't give it enough time to flesh out the characters. I did think that Moonlight was a great show for Alex O'Lachlin. That was a shame that it got cancelled. I don't like any of the other vampire shows on TV. I don't watch any of the movies (too juvenile for me.) He did a great job on this show as well. I do not understand why all the complaints about him. Can't wait to see him in Hawaii Five-O.I think a lot of the complaints are from males. They gave all the low rates. I guess there weren't enough hot women, i.e. ER and Grey's Anatomy, to keep men around watching an interesting show. That is a shame.I do think Katherine Moennig is a good actress, but I don't see her as something spectacular that overwhelms Alex or any of the other cast.I was sorry to see this one cancelled. I got bored with Grey's Anatomy. Too much sex. Not that I don't love sex, but in a hospital atmosphere it is not realistic at all. Now, sexual conversations and constant double entendres of a sexual nature are very realistic in hospital atmospheres. I know that from experience! I am more interested in the medical situations. That is fascinating. I wish they brought back live operations that they used to show on TV in the late 1960's, early 1970's!!

Ahh yes it's review time and everyone's a buzzing. To start off getting Katherine Moennig to do this drama was brilliant, because in case every other series missed the memo the L word only did as good as they did because of her, also the love for Daniel Helley is self apparent.Now onto the show, yes it's medical drama and of course as soon as that's said all the other shows spring to mind but wait! It really is different I promise... in this show we have the patients dying, people fighting over their organs, and of course a very young and eager intern running around hoping to deliver the organs first, sooo its kind of like a tom and jerry cartoon but instead a TV drama. Overall with this kind of cast makeup and the direction of the show I can see it going places.Until next review, where we show how baby kittens can kill you in your sleep.. just kidding, nice job CBS. 10/10
