Doc

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.

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.

I see viewers chiding it for not being medically realistic. Go to hospital wards for reality. This is a TV Show. Follow the storyline, enjoy the plot and leave reality out of it, because it will never be reality. Go outside and have a life, so when you sit down in front of the TV you'll acknowledge it for what it is - a show!

Otherwise, the movie is a 10/10. I enjoyed watching it. The acting was splendid, so was the actors. This movie is captivating! Sent me on my knees! Totally loved it!!!

If you need medically realistic, visit a hospital ward. If you need a nice show to enjoy, grab a tissue and a popcorn, and get ready to have your mind blown!

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 honestly really enjoy this show. Is it 100% medically accurate? Absolutely not. But it doesn't need to be because it's not a real hospital. It's a TV show. I think it's put together very well, I like the cast. I think they work well together and it's a neat concept For a show. The content that's covered in each episode flows very well to keep you entertained and interested in the patient's outcome. I feel like there are many directions that they can go with this show each episode and even for subsequent seasons. I look forward to the last couple episodes before the season is over and I do hope that they choose to renew it for a second season. I highly recommend.
