That has the vibes of a real-time sequel to ER.

I'm in for that alone. Medical 24.

I've always liked him as an actor. We were actually both born on the same exact day (6/4/1971) and only a few miles apart. He was born in Hollywood, and I was born in Van Nuys (approx. 13 miles away).

Useless trivia I know but still kind of cool. Usually, you look to see who you share a birthday with, and it is someone famous who is either 20 years older than you or 20 years younger than you, but rarely someone exactly the same age as you.

I usually don’t like this kind of show but I gave it a chance and I loved it. Super bingeable show.

That idiot woman suing because she thinks this rips off ER is probably convinced any medical drama involving an emergency department is a ripoff of ER.

 

[Stout]

And this show is freaking nails. And they get almost all the Pittsburgh references right.

I saw a Youtube video of a doctor critiquing the show, and for the most part, it is extremely accurate from that perspective.

There is A LOT more to it than that. That “idiot woman” originally developed the idea with the producers of this show as a LITERAL EXTENSION of ER… and negotiations apparently got super messy and then they decided to go ahead with the show without her.

Fantastic show, either way.

Mm, the way I read it, they decided to go a different direction and not as a literal extension of ER. Once that was off the table, they pivoted to this--which, BTW, is little like ER. She hasn't a leg to stand on, it seems.

I had a maaaajor social work critique that they got 100 percent wrong (for doctors as well, who are mandated reporters). They did the opposite of the law because they needed it for the story. Super annoying, but only for a small subset of fans, and I love the show nonetheless.

Yeah… with the same EP/writers/Star of ER… all whom were negotiating with the Crichton estate AND MAX on a ER reboot… and then just bailed and made a very similar show. Just a total coincidence.

And if she didn’t have a leg to stand on, you’d think the court would have thrown the case out when WB filed to have it dismissed… SIX months ago, in Nov 2024.

My wife (not me) just started watching (bingeing(sp?) ) this show the other day.
Not me so much. Have never cared for or watched doctor/medical shows. No interest at all.

I never cared for or watched doctor/medical shows either, but I enjoyed this. Since each episode covers 1 hour of a 15 hour shift it has a different feel than most medical shows.

 

[oaken1]

I have watched 4 or 5 episodes.
Not the type of show that I normally sit and watch a season in a day. But definitely not horrible, entertaining in fact, and at times even interesting

Except it's not a similar show. The only similarity is that it takes place in an ER. She doesn't own medical dramas set in an emergency room. She's just mad they made a show without her.
