Emily Owens M.D.

I just told my sister this is a good show. I was very surprised to see the review status... But then saw that was based only on 3 opinions. I don't think I have ever left a review before, but felt, I needed to lend this show my support. It's truly too good to let it go without a fight.

My sister watches a lot of TV and mostly I just walk away. This show held my interest. That's saying a lot without saying too much (no spoilers). This show has a polished quality that I first mistook for a film. Seeing the episode made me want to know more about this rising star who I didn't recognize from anything I had seen before. Daughter of Meryl Streep - NO WONDER! One picks up a lot from family members. Mammie seems to have picked up her mothers uncanny timing and charm. I look forward to seeing more of her as 'Emily Owens' or...?

As a female currently applying to medical school, this is one of the medical "dramas" (that usually has nothing to do with medicine) I find very entertaining. Instead of the suaveness that the stars of of Grey's Anatomy and House MD portray, Emily Owens represents the unavoidable socially awkwardness people face in the med track. I could see myself relating to many of her problems currently, or in the future while in residency.

Plus points for a diverse cast (including a lesbian woman of color and an Asian prospective gf for Micah). Love this show, and hope it continues for more than a season or two.

I have been watching Emily Owens MD for several weeks and looked forwarding to seeing it every week. It wasn't on for last couple of weeks and I am hoping it wasn't cancelled. It was one of the best new shows I've seen in a while. Then I saw something about it was being cancelled. I hope it's not true. It wasn't on long enough to give it a real chance. I thought it was a really good show. I thought Dr. Necar Zadegan who plays the strict boss was very good, and so was Cassandra and Justin Hartley and Rady. Mamie Gummer looks so much like her movie star mother Meryl Streep that I knew right away who Mamie's mother was. I like Mamie and think she is a good actress.I know of many TV shows I wouldn't watch which are popular, yet they cancel Emily Owens MD which I liked better than most of the popular TV shows. They shouldn't have cancelled it. I think it could have been successful. What a letdown.

I titled the review Smiley Show because that's exactly what the show has a tendency to do, make me smiley at how goofy it can sometimes be.

I originally began watching Emily Owens M.D. primarily because she's Meryl Streep's daughter and then because it was something else to watch after all my 'First Line' shows were done for the week like Bones, Big Bang Theory, etc.

This show is not your Grey's Anatomy or any of the other drama heavy weights on right now. I read an interview with Mindy Kalings from The Mindy Show and Emily Owens reminds me a lot of what Kalings was trying to achieve with her show - awkward comedy, not afraid to show that women aren't always perfect, and that we have insecurities (realism such as in Girls).

The difference to me is that Emily Owens is endearing - both the character, the cast, and all the plot lines. It draws you in to its quirky humor and realistic not-too-over-the-top drama.

Additionally, I think Owens character is very well balanced. She brings out the brunt when she has to "a bunch of you have STDs!" but also knows when it's unnecessary such as not talking about how Cassandra choked in surgery. She's honest and I hope to see her stronger side grow throughout the series.

It's refreshingly different and I hope it is around for seasons to come!

You know...I have been checking out a lot of the new premieres for shows this season and it's a relief to find one that is so good. I guess I am realizing some of the qualities that I look for in a show. Kind of done with shows that are cut together for the 15 - 22 year old short attention span with violence on the side, etc...

I really enjoy shows that are about the character's everyday life: where they came from; the experiences (good and bad) they are going through and watching those characters develop and change as the series progresses.

I love the lead character! "Emily Owens" is someone you can relate too and and is very likable. There is so much material to work through with her character and her willingness to grow. And since one of my favourite shows "House" ended last season, this provides enough medical investigatory type problem solving to fill that void. Plus the show deals with social issues as well to make you think about how you would handle things.

Love the inner monologue that we get from Emily as well...clever & witty.

The rest of the cast looks fantastic and the writing was great. Honestly - if you are looking for a show (in a hospital setting) that is a relief to watch and enjoy; one that is about relationships and growing in those - than this will be for you.

Mamie Gummer does a fantastic job...her humour is natural and subtle. Love it! She is lovely to watch.

Excited to see where the plot lines go with Justin Hartley and Michael Rady as well. Great actors! (easy on the eyes too!) ;-)

That's my 2-cents. Looking forward to enjoying this show...so happy that it's on! Hope it does well!
