Trauma

Now it certainly cannot be said that this drama is an accurate representation of life as a paramedic. If you think that's what it should be you will hate it. If being realistic doesn't matter to you, this drama has a lot to offer. Good character development and a wide range of different personalities. Relationships between the characters are particularly fascinating as they all have to deal with life and death on a daily basis. Overall I think it's a well made show with some very good and very interesting characters.

I approached this drama with no expectations and look forward to watching it every week.

I really love this new show -- its has great characters and story lines. NBC should keep this show, because it gets better each week. I like that we are learning more about the depth of the characters, which is important. It could be another ER or Third Watch which were also spectacular shows..This show could run for along time because there are so many stories that could be told. I like how doesn't focus on just one character, but explores all their backgrounds. The fast pace of the show is what I love so much as well. We don't have shows like that since ER and Third Watch are no longer on. They have chose excellent actors to play the roles and they are doing such a good job.

OK, most of you who know how to do CPR realize that almost no TV show accurately shows how to do it correctly, and Trauma is no exception. What do people expect, if you do it correctly on the people in the show you could injure them if they don't need CPR! Honestly you shouldn't be trying to learn medicine from a TV drama. I don't understand what all the negative comments are about. Many of the procedures are being shown done wrong. BUT I STILL LOVE THE SHOW. WHY? It keeps me interested. The injured patients do accurately represent SOME of what I see.

In my opinion the character "Rabbit" makes the show awesome, his mannerism and sense of humor is great. (Plus he was driving a 1970 Chevelle SS in the last episode, which makes him even more awesome) The quarrels between characters and the storyline keeps me entertained. I'm hooked on the show and can't get enough of it.

The writers do need to work on showing them how to do procedures a little more correctly and make it more realistic in the medical perspective but it is still a good show. Just don't expect that you will have EMT qualifications after watching this show.

The most juicy, action-packed and sexy show without even one vamp.. At all. Peter Berg, the executive Producer was on Chicago Hope for years for crying out. He has directed so many great movies and shows. He knows like the crew what works visually. And to put messy characters together and make it work is great television to me. It is like all other shows. Either you like it or you don't. No one ever said anything about vampire stuff being realistic so why would anyone make Trauma a target? Finally when it comes down to it. It's fictional entertainment. That's it. Anyhow! In a whole other way.. I think it's great to watch something that isn't about rich doctors or dirty cops or other questionable figures. But basic people with basic problems solving them in basic ways. Shows that works aren't the setting but the human relationships.

This is the first Fall in a long time where I'm actually marking my calender not to miss some excellent new shows!I only had a handful of shows that I looked forward to every week (prime-time). Now there's at least five more that I've added to my list. To the point- The first time I ever saw Cliff Curtis at all, was in the latest Die Hard. He pops out of nowhere, and yet had this instant "it" factor about him. Never heard of him, or saw him again. Then I noticed during the new ads for "Trauma", that he would be part of the cast. So, that is why, even though I love "Lie To Me", something told me to check this show, and BOY, I'm glad I did! "Rabbit" makes the show, in my opinion, but I also found myself feeling the pains and emotions of all the actors. It started out with a bang, and left me in awe. "Trauma" has realistic dramatic situations, as well as sex, comedy, REAL pain (emotional), "edge of your seat" wows all around, and compassion. I see this show going very far, and I CANNOT WAIT until next week's episode! (Kudos to the female actors- they were superb!). Good luck NBC- so far you've won me over with "Trauma", AND "Mercy". Looks like this Fall will be a lot more entertaining than the last few. (Don't forget: We also have great new shows from CBS, ABC, and FOX- so here's HAPPY WATCHING!! P.S. For those of you that may think this is just another "medical drama", you're wrong. It's all about original ideas, as well as the cast as a whole- give it a shot! Thank You- Darkdragon8987
