1pm Daily Update

I missed season 1 as I was still out of the country but I caught the important bits on YouTube so it was easy to dive right into season 2. I tried watching the UK version but the storyline was very muddled and I mostly had no idea what was happening, the lead character was barely in it and they were all terrible actors. This version is much easier to follow and I actually feel like I have all the information I need to fully appreciate what's happening every episode. Who would've thought that I'd be choosing a NZ made show over the international versions with much larger budgets, but here we are!

I made sure I had my lunch ready (freshly baked lockdown loaf out of the oven) and the TV on at 1pm sharp today to tune into the 3rd series of what has become a cult telly show in Aotearoa/NZ.

Jacinda seemed a bit strident I thought in her role. Maybe as the season goes on she will chill out a bit but the good Doctor Ashley is still playing his role of McDreamy really well. Good looks, charm, GSOH and most importantly, intellect. Swoon.

Speaking of swoon, we haven't seen that cutie pie Darryn Webb, Assistant Chief of Defence on this show for a while. He was a hottie. Hopefully the producers might bring him back this season?

Anyhow I digress. Today's pilot was good. A bit long I thought however, although I appreciate there's a lot of information out there for the team of 5 million to take in.

I did think season 1 and 2 were a bit samey samey, but I have the impression already that the Delta variant theme for this season might just shake things up a wee bit.

The ongoing saga of Tova vs Jacinda is what keeps me gripped. The absurdity of the questions from Tova vs the quick wittedness of Jacinda is worthy of any drama. Will there be fisticuffs? Will there sarcasm? Will they ultimately fall in love?

I think some of the commenters here should definitely check out the American version, which is way darker but does suffer from randomly binning some of its better characters and is starting to drag on a bit.

Well NZ's favourite show is back for season 2, which I wasn't expecting since the season 1 finale seemed to have wrapped up all the storylines.

The first episode was incredibly gripping, although I must admit I didn't realise it was on until maybe 15 minutes after it started, but I caught up pretty quickly. So glad to see Super Star Dr. Ashley Bloomfield back, he's really the main reason for watching after all.

Im looking forward to seeing how season 2 holds up against the fantastic first season and see how this storyline progresses.
