Remedy

This is pretty lame. The four main characters are all related and all have their personal lives and dramas spilling over into the workplace. It is as if they have no idea of social etiquette or professionalism. It's ridiculous. I do not understand the high ratings, when this show is such an unrealistic joke. You don't have time to care about the patients or the medical cases. because the show is filled up with watching the father, son, and two daughters have their public temper tantrums and shouting matches. I have no idea how this junk made it for two seasons. Pitiful.

Another hospital-based medical drama with the same power politics, budget woes, bottom-line vs. Social- and ethical-responsibility arguments, second-guessing diagnoses, God-complex surgeons and "the sky is falling" pronouncements as every other hospital drama. Better writers would definitely improve this show.

The family that seems to dominate this hospital has so many personal issues that they shouldn't be anywhere near a place where people's lives hang in the balance. I just can't seem to summon up any concern for the patients, medical staff or tangential characters.

I love Enrico Colantoni, but he's totally wasted in this dreck.

I'm not a TV junkie, expert, social guru, or anything like that but I am someone that knows a great show when I see one. I've never written a review before, so here goes. I don't normally watch much of what is on TV now-a-days, there just isn't anything that catches me. I spend more time reading books. I will admit I did start watching Remedy because I had enjoyed watching Enrico Colantoni in Flashpoint. However, Remedy caught my attention, right away and I was hooked. It had all the usual drama but with a realistic spin. I loved how it showed the difference between the doctors, nurses and 'other' workers in a hospital setting. The writers did a great job creating story lines that though they were made up, we also real. I've always loved medical dramas but Remedy had just that little extra. Plus the actors/actresses were all very talented! My only complaint is that they cancelled it after the 2nd season. Big Mistake I think.

This is truly a great Canadian show. The writing is always heartfelt and intelligent, the acting powerful and a testament to Canada's talent, and the technical side wonderfully done. A particular favourite of mine is the multi-angle camera shots, which are truly a thing of beauty. If you're a fan of other medical shows, or just of a good dramatic series, Remedy is more than worth watching. Like its contemporaries, Remedy profiles the personal, professional, and political ins and outs of life with the hospital. However, it provides a unique approach to the subject, driving home incredible narratives about family, career, addiction, and strength, with a distinctly Canadian feel. This show deserved far more than the 2 seasons it got.

I'm stuck watching this because my wife does. The show should be called the fighting hospital or hospital fighting family. It's on the level of the red green show. I've been waiting for red green to make a cameo instead of trying to be funny it's fighting and arguing. I know this might be a surprise but there is room for better story lines. I really don't know why they have other actor's on cause it always centers around the four actors. I hope it gets better the second time around. What's this ten line thing I can say what needs to be said in less. But I guess we all have to sound uneducated. So with this being said it should be enough.
