Emily Owens M.D.

This show is amazing… not just the actors but everything. I think it's real. Sure, there's not much of a love relation going on yet with the main character but everything else is really good. I like the fact that she's this real and nice character but yet has real human factors. She's a doctor, and also she's just going through the day with troubles that arises. I like this show a lot because it's witty. And you can really hate some characters in this show. So, I hope it doesn't get canceled!

Sure, I have to admit… the first few episodes were boring-ish but it gets better. And I love Emily's character. I could really relate to her and her everyday life at a hospital.

I titled the review Smiley Show because that's exactly what the show has a tendency to do, make me smiley at how goofy it can sometimes be.

I originally began watching Emily Owens M.D. primarily because she's Meryl Streep's daughter and then because it was something else to watch after all my 'First Line' shows were done for the week like Bones, Big Bang Theory, etc.

This show is not your Grey's Anatomy or any of the other drama heavy weights on right now. I read an interview with Mindy Kalings from The Mindy Show and Emily Owens reminds me a lot of what Kalings was trying to achieve with her show - awkward comedy, not afraid to show that women aren't always perfect, and that we have insecurities (realism such as in Girls).

The difference to me is that Emily Owens is endearing - both the character, the cast, and all the plot lines. It draws you in to its quirky humor and realistic not-too-over-the-top drama.

Additionally, I think Owens character is very well balanced. She brings out the brunt when she has to "a bunch of you have STDs!" but also knows when it's unnecessary such as not talking about how Cassandra choked in surgery. She's honest and I hope to see her stronger side grow throughout the series.

It's refreshingly different and I hope it is around for seasons to come!

As a female currently applying to medical school, this is one of the medical "dramas" (that usually has nothing to do with medicine) I find very entertaining. Instead of the suaveness that the stars of of Grey's Anatomy and House MD portray, Emily Owens represents the unavoidable socially awkwardness people face in the med track. I could see myself relating to many of her problems currently, or in the future while in residency.

Plus points for a diverse cast (including a lesbian woman of color and an Asian prospective gf for Micah). Love this show, and hope it continues for more than a season or two.

In just a few words: I am in love with all that this show has to offer. From the very first episode, I was hooked. The topics that the show touches on and the actors performances enthrall me. I find myself completely entertained every time I watch this new take on a medical drama. Not only is it witty and fun but it is heartbreaking and thoughtful. I've enjoyed every episode that has aired thoroughly. Mamie Gummer is engaging. I love the awkwardness and naïveté that she brings to the character of Emily. The fact that the audience is able to hear her thoughts throughout each episode is brilliant. I'm truly saddened that this show has been canceled. I was looking forward to many more episodes and much more awkwardness in the future.

I can say at my age I have seen many shows come and go and hope this show stays at least 7 seasons. The characters are pleasant without being syrupy. Even the mean ones show the reason for their behavior. Emily at first seemed a bit strange but has developed into a believable young person making her life (mistakes and all.) The main reason I like this show is it makes me smile and thats the key. I did recognize most of the actors from other series and that's why I started watching in the first place. Mamie Gummer caught my interest when she did off the map another series about her being a doctor and set in a tropical setting so I was enjoy it and found it had been canceled. Love the guy who plays Micah and have seen him in several shows also. They also show another doctor who bosses the new guys around in the ER but not sure if I've ever heard his name but seems interesting. The key for me is this show makes me smile so please keep it going.
