Chicago Med

I do enjoy the show. I'm currently on season 4 so I'm behind. First I can't stand Will. What a jerk. I just want to punch him in the face. Second is Ava. Her voice and accent makes my skin crawl. I like the other characters and the plots. It's not a great show but it's entertaining.

This possibly could be my last season watching this show. It started out good however it is getting to be more like a soap opera than a medical drama. This is the same reason why I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy. I personally like medical programs to have more medicine than romantic melodrama. This is Us is also way too melodramatic.

It's a good watch, not quite ER standards. One annoying point is the terrible South African accent of the character Ava Bekker. It's incredibly fake.

There are a number of actors like Oliver Platt, not handsome but so engaging. He has a wonderful delivery and I started watching Chicago Med only because he has a significant role in the series. Otherwise it's just a medical procedural with endless churn of patients and pretty actors to provide the drama.

Oliver is the quiet moment in the midst of the storm. Great casting decision.

Can we PLEEEAASE have a medical drama where doctors do exactly what they are told to do?? I am glad that Halstead and Manning are gone, and have taken their rules-be-damned, cowboy (or -girl) mentality with them.

How many times do we have to watch any given medical "professional" try to impose their personal agenda, skirt the rules, stomp on protocol and give Sharon Goodwin no shortage of headaches? I worked for two years in a medium-sized ER department and never saw any of this ridiculousness ever occur. But I suppose without this selfishness there would be no drama in this drama. Am I right?
