Monday Mornings

I have been watching this show from the very beginning and it hooked me straight away, Greys Anatomy did the same thing and I have religiously watched every episode. While this is not as soapy as GA, but there are similarities that appeal to me and I would rate them both very closely.

For me this is a brilliant show and I look forward to watching it each week.

It seems to me to be very realistic and does not sugar coat the unfortunate side of medicine as some shows do, it is also for me very educational. I am a bit anti doctors and will question them on everything if I have the misfortune of being in a hospital, and this show seems to encourage that line of thinking.

Finally I am and have been a big fan of Alfred Molina, so this may seem a biased review. He, Ving Rhames and Keoung Sim are outstanding and make me smile whenever they are on screen. The whole cast is amazing really and all put in very good performances, right down to the tiresome Lawyer played by Anthony Heald. I was so happy his character got eaten by Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs.

8/10 for me, some episodes get 10/10

I go along with pennymaui: Patients need this kind of wake-up lesson about not necessarily trusting the first doctor or opinion.

I've already learned a lot of things I didn't know just watching the show, especially tonight. (I DVR shows) I hope this show has a lot more then 10 episodes. I really think people can learn a lot just from the Monday morning parts of the show. I love what they do there. Especially about the feelings of the patients and their families. Please, please keep this show going, it's great. I'm so sick of all the stupid comedy and reality shows that are on now. They have canceled sooo many good shows after just one season.

This program has become my new Sopranos... that's the one I eagerly looked forward to the new episode all week long! I did some Google searching on the series only to find out that it has begun with sort of a "ho-hum" from viewers and critics.

I think the chemistry between the characters is in line with the likes of Seinfeld or, again, the Sopranos... and it hasn't really even had the chance to mature yet. The casting is great and the varied personalities and 'ethics' of the characters captivating. The M&M sessions (Morbidity and Mortality) are well done and I find myself thinking what I would do in the situation.

When I listen to what most Americans are talking about on TV (Idol, Housewives, etc) I realize this isn't going to appeal to the masses. I hope it can survive!!

This is a thoroughly entertaining medical drama. I don't know what the negative posters expected. I suspect they are just negative people who like to find fault with everything.

The character development is superb. Stand out performances by VingRhames, Keoung Sim and Alfred Molina. There's really not a weak cast member. Story lines are good. It's not frenetic like ER, nor as bizarre as House. It's closer to Grey's anatomy with a strong focus on the medical issues and less on the soap opera aspects.

My family members in the health field agree this show is pretty much on target.

Check it out.

Besides all the negative appointments and the low rating, i find this show amazing! Against all odds, it's almost cool as House MD, witch i really loved. Each doctor is amazing, completely different from each other, with very strong personalities. The stories are cool and well made, and the medicine part is so realistic.

There's some negative points, indeed, like the small cast. Will be a very difficult job to the writers to make more than twelve episodes, in my opinion. Each episode revolves around one or two specific cases. We could have one case for each doctor, for example. I think they should cover the personal life of the doctors, too. It's like if nobody got a family, kids, almost unreal.

But overall, it's very enjoyable show. Give it a try before believing in the negative reviews done here.
