The Resident

I have worked in surgery for many years, and this is the most realistic show ever produced. The bureaucracy that exists in "for profit" hospitals, and the surgical "cover-ups" are not exaggerations! It's all about the money! GREAT SHOW!

I am not a nurse, doctor or anything of that nature so im not surehow accurate the medical side is but this is an enjoyable show! It shows a side of hospitals you don't really see, the potentially corrupt kind. This show gets you fired up and it's also quite heartfelt (with the doctors/nurses who care). I'd give it a few episodes and judge for yourself!

I get that there are series out there, that are much more medically acurate. And yes, The Resident plays with stereotypes and clichés. But it does so in a really entertaining way. So I do not get the negativity. I really enjoyed the first and second episode and look forward the what´s coming.

Love this show!!! A suitable replacement for House M.D. that I mourned for ages. Yes, it isn't 100% medically accurate. But if a TV show was 100% medically and ethically accurate, it would be boring as hell. 90% of the show would be watching them do paperwork and clean up poo.

The storyline is entertaining. The protagonist characters are very likable and relatable. The antagonists are the hospital equivalent of Marvel villians.

I adore that there is FINALLY a TV series I enjoy and can watch with my Mother without having to hear her complain about inappropriate content.

Well done, Fox. Now if only you'd bring back "Surviving Jack".....

I actually like and hate the show at the same time. While I like the doctors and nurses I stay angry with the administrative side of things and those who are representing them. While some reviews here say how unrealistic the show is the most unrealistic part is the doctors who stand up to the bureaucrats. If you are a patient who has been turn down because you didn't have the money or insurance to pay for the needed medical attention you know it is closer to reality then those here want to admit. I say watch it and judge for yourself. If you can get past wanting to punch the head of surgery then you might just find that you like it.
