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.

I just finished the first 6 episodes, and once you get past the fact that the main character suffers a traumatic brain injury and is asking to return to work the next day, it's actually a great show. I think the reason it works is because Dr. Larson was a closed off b-word before the accident and each episode we get to see through flashbacks the difference in her character.

I especially like the relationship between her and her best friend. Overall, the backstory with her family explains how she became the way she was before her accident. The antagonist characters feel more like flawed people who really aren't bad so they aren't one dimensional, which leaves room for growth.

I know it's supposed to be a medical drama but it's the relationships and even the patients and their family that make this a compelling series. I'm a nurse and the medical inaccuracies don't bother me as much since the real story is about the character's reactions to the medical mystery. The show does a great job of getting you to care about the characters.

I hope it sticks around; it's been a long time since I've liked a medical drama.

I watched the Italian series before and just started with the 2 first episodes of the US version. It's definitely okay, but I prefer the Italian version. The Italian version was with a very charismatic man with a great smile that misses this version.

I think it's a shame to make a remake of a great series. Probably it's because the original was in Italian, maybe better synchronise it.

Just finished watching the series. My wife and I loved it and were thrilled to see that it landed a second season. DOC doesn't try to be something it isn't. It's a strong medical drama that asks the question, what would you do if you had a second chance? The acting and writing are strong all around, and most importantly, it's entertaining. The emotional depth and character development really stand out, making it easy to connect with the characters. Each episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, blending personal struggles with medical challenges. If you enjoy heartfelt, thought-provoking dramas, this one is a must-watch!

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.
