The Resident

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".....

Show seems OK so far. Really excellent cast, likeable and good actors. Definitely on the melodrama side. Moralizing definitely on the heavy handed side.

Do note that a large number (16%) of the 1 votes are clearly politically motivated, from conservatives, because of the liberal slant of the undocumented immigrant plot line.

This show is far from perfect on the medical details, but the 1s are undeserved in my opinion and the lack of scores in the 2-6 range are really telling, with most scores 8-10.

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.

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!
