Doc

I just finished the first 6 episodes, and once you get past the fact that the main character suffers a traumatic brain injury and is asking to return to work the next day, it's actually a great show. I think the reason it works is because Dr. Larson was a closed off b-word before the accident and each episode we get to see through flashbacks the difference in her character.

I especially like the relationship between her and her best friend. Overall, the backstory with her family explains how she became the way she was before her accident. The antagonist characters feel more like flawed people who really aren't bad so they aren't one dimensional, which leaves room for growth.

I know it's supposed to be a medical drama but it's the relationships and even the patients and their family that make this a compelling series. I'm a nurse and the medical inaccuracies don't bother me as much since the real story is about the character's reactions to the medical mystery. The show does a great job of getting you to care about the characters.

I hope it sticks around; it's been a long time since I've liked a medical drama.

This is based on an Italian series, which is based on Dr. Pierdante Piccioni. It stars Molly Parker as Amy Larsen, who used to be a curt chief of internal medicine at a hospital. Due to a car accident, she suffers a traumatic brain injury that causes her to lose memories of the last 8 years of her life, plus changes her personality.

There are medical mysteries in each episode, like a woman who is challenged by not being able to feel pain, also, each episode moves Amy's story along quickly. It also has a tangled web love story that may not be so easy to untangle without hurt. It is a bingeable, interesting show on Fox and Hulu.

Dr. Amy Wolcott's miraculous recovery from a crash that erased eight years of memories but left her physically unscathed stretches medical credibility beyond repair. The show's premise - that a trauma severe enough to cause such specific retrograde amnesia wouldn't result in serious physical injuries or brain damage - is neuroscience fantasy at its most egregious. Watching her confidently stride hospital halls arguing for her right to practice medicine - while apparently suffering no cognitive deficits beyond the convenient plot-serving memory gap - feels like watching a medical drama written by someone whose only research was reading soap opera summaries. The show sacrifices scientific plausibility for dramatic convenience, undermining its own attempts at serious storytelling.

I think this is a very well-acted and enjoyable show to watch so far. Please keep it on the air and give it a chance. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. 😔 So far the story lines are not too overly complicated to follow, which is good when you're watching TV at night. What's appealing about show is that it gives people a chance to know that they can have a "redo" moment in their lives. It's a TV show about self-reflection in what we can do to improve upon ourselves. The lead character in the show unfortunately got into a car wreck, but if we all had the opportunity to re-examine our lives it would be a wonderful thing.

First, I think Amy and Jake together is not even believable. It's like he's dating his mother. I don't think, attractiveness-wise, they remotely go together. What I'm saying is, he's way better looking than she is. I do like the story of the show. It's interesting and I do keep watching to see what's going to happen next and I enjoy the medical issues presented and how they deal with them and the patients. I don't think it's remotely a "10" TV series and especially not a "10" medical TV series, but it's good enough to watch each week and it has hooked me, which is necessary for me to continue past the first episode.
