Emily Owens M.D.

So far I've watched 3 episodes. I never liked this kind of TV shows but this show stood out when I was flipping throw the channels. no plot holes or bridge scenes so far, the performance is great, the show is character driven, they don't focus a lot on the gadgets. I've been doing some research my self on the medical terminology they use and so far they have been good. I get the feeling that the writing team gets a lot of say. watching the show makes me feel that there is a great team behind it. i think that the show will last for a while as long as it stays funny and smart. its a good show and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

I can say at my age I have seen many shows come and go and hope this show stays at least 7 seasons. The characters are pleasant without being syrupy. Even the mean ones show the reason for their behavior. Emily at first seemed a bit strange but has developed into a believable young person making her life (mistakes and all.) The main reason I like this show is it makes me smile and thats the key. I did recognize most of the actors from other series and that's why I started watching in the first place. Mamie Gummer caught my interest when she did off the map another series about her being a doctor and set in a tropical setting so I was enjoy it and found it had been canceled. Love the guy who plays Micah and have seen him in several shows also. They also show another doctor who bosses the new guys around in the ER but not sure if I've ever heard his name but seems interesting. The key for me is this show makes me smile so please keep it going.

I just told my sister this is a good show. I was very surprised to see the review status... But then saw that was based only on 3 opinions. I don't think I have ever left a review before, but felt, I needed to lend this show my support. It's truly too good to let it go without a fight.

My sister watches a lot of TV and mostly I just walk away. This show held my interest. That's saying a lot without saying too much (no spoilers). This show has a polished quality that I first mistook for a film. Seeing the episode made me want to know more about this rising star who I didn't recognize from anything I had seen before. Daughter of Meryl Streep - NO WONDER! One picks up a lot from family members. Mammie seems to have picked up her mothers uncanny timing and charm. I look forward to seeing more of her as 'Emily Owens' or...?

You know...I have been checking out a lot of the new premieres for shows this season and it's a relief to find one that is so good. I guess I am realizing some of the qualities that I look for in a show. Kind of done with shows that are cut together for the 15 - 22 year old short attention span with violence on the side, etc...

I really enjoy shows that are about the character's everyday life: where they came from; the experiences (good and bad) they are going through and watching those characters develop and change as the series progresses.

I love the lead character! "Emily Owens" is someone you can relate too and and is very likable. There is so much material to work through with her character and her willingness to grow. And since one of my favourite shows "House" ended last season, this provides enough medical investigatory type problem solving to fill that void. Plus the show deals with social issues as well to make you think about how you would handle things.

Love the inner monologue that we get from Emily as well...clever & witty.

The rest of the cast looks fantastic and the writing was great. Honestly - if you are looking for a show (in a hospital setting) that is a relief to watch and enjoy; one that is about relationships and growing in those - than this will be for you.

Mamie Gummer does a fantastic job...her humour is natural and subtle. Love it! She is lovely to watch.

Excited to see where the plot lines go with Justin Hartley and Michael Rady as well. Great actors! (easy on the eyes too!) ;-)

That's my 2-cents. Looking forward to enjoying this show...so happy that it's on! Hope it does well!

2/24/18. I really loved this medical comedy series! Sadly, it only lasted one season. Why? While watching the pilot I just knew I would watch the whole series. The premise was so novel - surgical internship as high school all over again. Gummer did a fine job as Emily Owens, who gets to do an internship with her medical school crush (Will) while dealing with Cassandra, her nemesis from high school. She gets to have a great friend in Tyra, a gay intern with daddy issues. Their relationships are the ongoing backstories for the 13 episodes, while dealing with at least 3 medical cases in each episode. Though it was so formulaic, the familiarity offered viewers the opportunity to focus on the dynamics in each case. The season ended with enough loose ends to keep the series going as the writing was really good. Catch it, even it just lasted one season.
