Doc

Dr. Amy Wolcott's miraculous recovery from a crash that erased eight years of memories but left her physically unscathed stretches medical credibility beyond repair. The show's premise - that a trauma severe enough to cause such specific retrograde amnesia wouldn't result in serious physical injuries or brain damage - is neuroscience fantasy at its most egregious. Watching her confidently stride hospital halls arguing for her right to practice medicine - while apparently suffering no cognitive deficits beyond the convenient plot-serving memory gap - feels like watching a medical drama written by someone whose only research was reading soap opera summaries. The show sacrifices scientific plausibility for dramatic convenience, undermining its own attempts at serious storytelling.

This is based on an Italian series, which is based on Dr. Pierdante Piccioni. It stars Molly Parker as Amy Larsen, who used to be a curt chief of internal medicine at a hospital. Due to a car accident, she suffers a traumatic brain injury that causes her to lose memories of the last 8 years of her life, plus changes her personality.

There are medical mysteries in each episode, like a woman who is challenged by not being able to feel pain, also, each episode moves Amy's story along quickly. It also has a tangled web love story that may not be so easy to untangle without hurt. It is a bingeable, interesting show on Fox and Hulu.

"Doc" presents a compelling narrative, anchored by Molly Parker's exceptional performance. Here's a positive take on the series: * Molly Parker's Powerful Performance: * Parker delivers a nuanced and captivating portrayal of Dr. Amy Larsen. She masterfully captures the character's journey of rediscovery, navigating the complexities of memory loss and personal transformation. Her ability to convey both vulnerability and strength is truly remarkable.

* Storyline: * The show effectively blends medical drama with personal drama, creating a compelling and emotionally resonant experience. The premise of a doctor rebuilding her life after amnesia provides a unique and intriguing perspective.

* The show does a good job of balancing the medical cases, with the personal relationships of the characters. This provides a good balance for viewers.

* "Doc" delves into the complexities of its characters, exploring their flaws and vulnerabilities. This adds depth and authenticity to the story, making it more relatable and engaging.

* The show creates intresting relationship dynamics, that keep the viewer involved in the show.

Overall, "Doc" is a worthwhile watch, elevated by Molly Parker's and some others outstanding performance and its engaging storyline.

I honestly really enjoy this show. Is it 100% medically accurate? Absolutely not. But it doesn't need to be because it's not a real hospital. It's a TV show. I think it's put together very well, I like the cast. I think they work well together and it's a neat concept For a show. The content that's covered in each episode flows very well to keep you entertained and interested in the patient's outcome. I feel like there are many directions that they can go with this show each episode and even for subsequent seasons. I look forward to the last couple episodes before the season is over and I do hope that they choose to renew it for a second season. I highly recommend.

The concept of a doctor with 8 years amnesia is compelling. The fact she lost her son, divorced her husband, had driven her daughter away, was having an affair with a younger male doctor, and had turned into a very rude person makes it even more dramatic. But when she butts into the cases of other patients when she's a patient herself and the hospital is not agreeing for her to come back as a doctor...that's so wrong. Why don't the doctors put her in a private room and keep her from getting up and roaming around unsupervised? That makes it so unreal. Sort of ruins it since it's unbelievable from a medical viewpoint.
