Chicago Med

I wish I could personally fire the casting directors who got rid of Dr. Rhodes, Dr. Reese, Dr. Manning, Dr. Bekker, Dr. Latham, and Dr. Clarke in the earlier seasons and replaced them with the mostly awful cast that is on now.

I love medical shows and still watch this, but Chicago Fire has pulled ahead as my new favorite of the three Wednesday night Chicago shows.

I have been streaming the first three seasons of Chicago Med recently and it was far better in the early days.

On to streaming all of Chicago Fire once I either get to the end of all the Chicago Med episodes or give up in season 7 or 8 due to the cast.

Much as I normally love medical shows...this isn't one of them. Tedious, boring, terrible acting.and totally unrealistic. If I wanted to watch soap opera, I'd choose daytime drama. Whoever is writing these scripts has probably never spent any time in a hospital. Please get new writers or dump this mess!

Things that are a nuances: they intubate EVERYONE! WHY? Surgeons literally gut people in front of family members, which is extremely traumatic. April, Natalie, Dr. Bekker, and Dr. Holstead are all ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING!!! They literally cause my skin to crawl with them merely speaking. The fact that their characters have that kind of power on the viewer means Wolf did a great job in balancing out the love-hate of the characters lol. We cannot love everyone. LOL. Happy viewing.

It's a good watch, not quite ER standards. One annoying point is the terrible South African accent of the character Ava Bekker. It's incredibly fake.

There are a number of actors like Oliver Platt, not handsome but so engaging. He has a wonderful delivery and I started watching Chicago Med only because he has a significant role in the series. Otherwise it's just a medical procedural with endless churn of patients and pretty actors to provide the drama.

Oliver is the quiet moment in the midst of the storm. Great casting decision.
