Absolutely loved the script and acting for the first two seasons, the exaggeration and weirdness in their character were captivating. The interactions between parties effortless. Started to look forward when Season three came out, but what happened in Season 3?! Their acting turned disingenuous as if they forgot to act, including Georgia that was brilliant turned so fake! It wasn't until Season 3 Episode 7 where some of their chemistry returned and the dynamics between characters got so awkward in Episode 1-6.5, just so lacking as if they couldn't get into character. I don't know why many posts kept bashing Ginny. She's brilliant in general. Many posts wrote about her being emotional and whiny but hello?! That is how a confused child raised by troubling mother in this script was meant to be portrayed. Almost gave up watching until S3E7 redeemed itself a bit to keep hanging on. So I shall see how it goes if S4 is worth my time.

Somehow the exiting of Yasuda, changed the dynamics among the 1st-year new interns of 2024 into a sleep-fest now. Individually still decently portrayed but it lost so much pep as the interns. They had to fill her in by having Molly as Kwan's love. Even the scripts that ensued after her exit were just poorly written. Locker spats, affairs, friendships all went downhill. The original cast's new interns had that pep that made their Grey's Anatomy scenes believable Ellen, Yang, .... so unique. The season 20 new interns brought back same excitement of season 1. Oh well, unless they bring back Yasuda!

Once first episode started, it was apparent the directing style mimicked the popular The Murder In The Building. Including editing. The humor is an attempt to be British which I absolutely love but the script dragged it too long losing the audience. Some characters were way too exaggerated like the chef without spoiling the plot. There were way too many characters with intent to thicken the plot. Never seen Inspector's prior successful career on Netflix but typically best quirky inspector roles had unique traits about them, such as Columbo, Sherlock Holmes, Vera, Professor T, ... what only made her unique was bird watching (a symbol for keen observer) and nothing more. I do like the miniature figures of the White House, the Christmas scene.. I think the script was plausible such as when they contrast certain birds pertaining to similarities to the murder plots... Maybe if they had better casting for certain characters this would've been better. The best character cast was actually the person who got murdered (without saying who it is to not spoil)! Watch if you must because it seems to have risen to top most watched list series. But IMO it lost us as it dragged on and wrong chemistry (not Romance dept) in casting just didn't work for me.
