The Night Shift

This show is terrible, but on a level where its almost playing on all the cliches that make network tv so bad. Which is why i love this show. It feels intentional by the producers, eerily similar to 90210, Party of 5, and Dawson's Creek of 20 years ago. Random slow motion scenes, ridiculous explanations for what caused the patients trauma, way over dramatized ER power struggles out of no where, wierd sexual tension, the stereotypes are perfect and extremely unrealistic, problems are solved out of no where throught an episode, and relationship paralyzing issues over the most random things. The acting is so on point, just like one of Christopher Guest's infamous mockumentaries.

If you despise network programming between the hours of 7-10 pm Monday-Friday, there is a good chance you will love this show.

I would say this show deserves more than it's current rating.

I see folks bash it but after watching more than 1 episode ( most bad reviews watched the pilot and crucified it ) I can say this can have a future. It's well done the acting is good enough the cases are interesting and the whole military guys coming to the be a doctor at a hospital in a night shift is pretty interesting.

I would say, give the show a chance it can grow on you. I know the market is a bit saturated and over the whole medical drama theme. Now if you are completely over medical stuff then there is no convincing anybody.

I myself am never over good shows and this seems to be a good show. I ve watched till episode 5 and it's getting better and better.

This show was really awesome for the first two seasons. I really loved how it was done and how the characters were so relatable and worked so well together. Sadly .. the third season did a total 180 and it absolutely ruined the show for me. They removed really great characters without even giving them a goodbye episode and one of them was just gone with an explanation. Honestly, just everything about the third season sucks, and I'm really sad that they went such an awful direction and made it so unwatchable.

I find it quite funny how the general public of today can't give credit where it's due. This show, any show at that is geared for entertainment purposes and that's that.

I find "The Night Shift" entertaining, well acted, thought provoking and greatly paced. Just because what unfolds during "The Night Shift" may not follow protocol of an actual E.R. that doesn't mean it should take away from the show,IT'S A SHOW FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. If you don't find this entertaining go stare at a rock.

You also have to realize, this show brought plenty of people work for an extended amount of time. I happen to be personal friends with one of the main, lead actors. I spent quite a bit of time on set and the effort put forth for this show to become a success was immense! Everyone worked their tails off, everyone took pride and the local economy/workers prospered greatly. If a show, as this one can boost a local economy (like ABQ, where filmed) then fantastic. Also, for all the under qualified naysayers of this show, tune in next season for season 2 of "The Night Shift." Enjoy tonight's episode!

I hope this runs longer than one season. I found it charming and uplifting that there could ever be a place where people meant more than the bottom line.The characters seemed to fit.The heart was in the place with each doctor nurse and staff. Maybe it is too much for some just coming back from duty,but I liked it. I will be tuning in each week to see what happens. I would class it in line with N.C.I.S and hope it stays around. I wish more shows were of the drama involved here.Inspired. Tragic brings hope without terror.Keep up the good work.The facts are that they don't take entertainment serious anymore. Casting works in this case the seem to fit just right.
