Chicago Med

This possibly could be my last season watching this show. It started out good however it is getting to be more like a soap opera than a medical drama. This is the same reason why I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy. I personally like medical programs to have more medicine than romantic melodrama. This is Us is also way too melodramatic.

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.

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.

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.
