Good Sam

Halfway through the show and still no doctoring....all we've seen is a female mamby-pamby doctor and ego driven Dad who is blinded by his own self-importance.

Lots of dialogue, emotion, naivety, blah, blah!

While i was never a huge Sophia Bush fan, but i did want her to have success with this show.

The show as a whole seems a repeat of all hospital shows. Romance among colleagues, minimal doctoring as the "side-show" of interpersonal relationships continue. Poor acting on top of it all... a mother who has no hospital responsibilities apart from her daughter.... Maybe this first episode is supposed to set the stage...but it didn't capture my interest.

The premise is not only preposterous, it's an HR nightmare: surgeon Dad supervising resident Daughter, then same-said Daughter supervising Dad when he returns to work after spending 6 months in a coma. Meanwhile, Mom is supervising both of them, and they're both romantically (sexually) involved with other residents under their supervision. I'm sure I saw this on General Hospital... The first episode strongly smacked of House - trying to diagnose a mysterious illness, which they manage to catch in time, and perform a bleeding edge procedure to save the patient's life. And the residents vote on how to treat the patient! That's just not how medicine works in the real world.

If you like daytime soap operas you'll love this, but if you're looking for engaging drama, change the channel.

I loved Sophia Bush in Chicago PD and was sad when she left that show, so I watched this hopefully. But the whole thing is just so contrived. Omg it's hard to actually articulate my disappointment at how contrived and artificial the whole thing is. Although I wanted to watch it for Sophia I couldn't even finish the first ep.

In the real world related parties (like the father / daughter relationship in this series) would not be working together let alone supervising one by the other. Additionally, the father is too overbearing while his daughter needs to use her position to put him in his place. Watching a father and daughter bicker is not something that makes me want to watch this show on any regular basis.

Seems like with all CBS shows, the background music is too loud and not necessary. Sounds like the same stuff as on Ghost. Storyline is unbelievable and nearing soap opera quality. Just like on Chicago PD, I had to turn on CC to understand Sophia. Definitely not on my DVR list.
