Rush

While flawed, Rush is a basically a good person and will do the right thing. Tom Ellis and Larenz Tate are hot and have great chemistry as best friends. All the characters Eve, Manny, Laurel are fun to watch. And,the nonstop action keeps the episodes interesting. It has the same flow as Royal Pains with the edginess of House.

With every cable channel getting new scripted shows, there are few that hold my interest. Rush is one of the few that does. I make a point of watching the new episode when it first televises rather than later on demand.

I got my daughter to watch and she loves it as well. This show should be renewed. The cast ensemble chemistry works well. Thanks.

I have seen Tom Ellis is other things, comedy/drama, and have always thought he could go places, and deserved to go places. I have to admit I am a fan of his which makes me biased. I have read the other reviews and cannot understand why anyone would comment on his bad behaviour. It's his bad behaviour that makes his character, we are watching a doctor disillusioned by the way he has been treated and who then takes his actions into his own hands. He has a conscience, but he keeps it under lock and key, he helps people even if he doesn't want to, his humanity is still there. I like Rush as a character. People seem to think if you are a doctor you do it out of the goodness of your heart and helping is a calling. That is obviously true in some cases, and maybe with Rush at one time as well, but a great percentage do it for the money. Let's see how he develops, I just hope he doesn't turn into some do gooder.

Last time I wrote a review I did it in defense of a show that deserved to be defended. This time I'm likely the first (amongst IMDb users that is).

I probably wouldn't have heard about this show if I hadn't stumbled on it's premiere by accident. Which would have been a shame to be honest.

I was very positively surprised watching the premiere episode unlike with most shows these days where the hype gets built up by promos and trailers only for it all to end with a big disappointment come premiere day.

One thing that I don't get about the general information on the show is the genre. It's listed as Action/Drama, which is accurate but what is missing here is a Comedy tag.

The show is genuinely funny!

But it's the Joss Whedon meets Nathan Fillion meets House M.D. kind of funny for people who know what I mean. Comedy here is how the characters - or rather the main character - handles day to day situations and interacts with others.

For some reason Comedy genre tag has lately been reserved for those 20- something minute dumb sitcoms which I honestly cannot bear to watch. The quality of humour in those is below what I'd qualify as pathetic.

The show is very entertaining and pleasant to watch. However as I've mentioned before only a single episode premiered so far, offering everyone who enjoyed it so far a great opportunity to feel disappointed still.

This one's from USA so I'm hoping that will not be the case.

I love Tom Ellis from watching Lucifer and that's how I stumbled on this show by searching for more of his shows. The characters, Lucifer and Rush, have some similarities and just enjoyable to watch. Wish there was more of Rush to watch. Love you Tom!

I'm sad they canceled it. Good characters, plot line, and acting in my opinion. It seems to have enough love, sex, and intrigue to please everybody. I can't understand what's not to like. There's the tension with his father and stepmother. Then there's his love interest as well as his protégé/assistant for strong female characters. There's also his best friend, the ER doctor, who sometimes acts as his moral compass. Finally, his patients are the rich & famous who have a reason for not wanting mainstream medical care. It all combines for a fascinating storyline in my opinion. Definitely better than Royal Pains. Lastly, the website has a real problem recognizing when ten lines has been entered and a complete, descriptive review has been entered.
