Good Sam

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.

The premise seemed interesting, and with Sophia Bush and Jason Issacs at the helm, I thought I'd give it a try. The pace was super slow, the story was as compelling as a hallmark card, and Bush was just not convincing as an ambitious, smart chief of surgery. I don't think I'll continue watching this one.

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.

Now I know why I don't miss Sophia Bush on Chicago PD. I mean, Is it just me or are television shows that have some minute amount of a story without reaching into absurdity during these Covid television times just not out there when we need them the most? Sorry Sophia Bush, your even worse in this show. Cmon CBS, you can do better!

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.
