Heartbeat

Before this program got off the ground, I read today it was canceled. I really thought this show would be like Grey's Anatomy and go for a decade or more. I really liked it and was telling everyone to watch it; they felt the same way.

Now, it's canceled and I'm shocked. Surely, another network or Netflix, etc. could pick it up and keep it going.

Melissa George is great. Dave Annable is playing yet another doctor with a heart of gold; this time with more spunk. To have D.L. Hughley, a comedian, playing the psychiatrist is brilliant casting. The back stories were great. The family at home was great with its twist.

Don't let this show disappear! Keep it going on some other channel with people who know good network television when they see it.

This was one of the top medical shows ever. Imo better than ER. It is based on a true story. The story lines were really good and it got me so hyped up. They need to bring it back and pick up where it left off.

BRING IT BACK!! I want to know what happened in Vegas!!!!

Irritatingly bad: cliché upon cliché.

Alex Panttiere (played by Melissa George) is a cardiothoracic surgeon, and a very good one. She has just been appointed to a senior role at a major hospital. While this brings more responsibility, it does not dull her rebelliousness nor unconventional methods.

Incredibly unoriginal. Every medical drama stereotype and cliché is regurgitated here, over and over and over. Dialogue makes you think every character should have been played by John Wayne, it is that over-the-top.

Plot is largely implausible, contrived and predictable and and acting rather hammy.

Melissa George deserves better. As for the remaining cast: I think they've found the maximum level of their abilities and careers...

Loved loved loved it!! I am not a fan of Melissa George, esp with her view on Australia, but the guys are so great and she is actually great in this too. The relationships in this series are just inspirational, they make you want better for you and your friends and your family, and even strangers. . Only just got going as a series and it's gone. I want it back!! Please bring it back somebody!

OK.. so it takes them all of eight episodes into the series to get to the real 'heart' of her personal story... and where it goes from here, we'll just have to wait see if it winds up to be anti-climatic. Have to give the production a bit of credit though.. it started off pretty routine, not so much different than a whole slew of similar medical-drama offerings ... but working it's way through the lead character's recent life history to get to this point, it did generate increasing interest.

Should it proceed the way it's now looking, the audience will be polarized.. as not many mainstream story lines fade to black with a three-way permanent relationship. The cast is solid.. and the story appears as if it will hold up through the ten episode season. Will there be any more? Viewers liking it much more than early critics, and George does a lot to try and pull it through. Guess the final couple episodes might hint at an answer.... (gets-cancelled).

Should the professional critics get an opportunity to rewrite their comments, it would be interesting to see how they now compare. PS... and as for trying to 'love' and have sex with two people at the same time... yea right!!! ... just see how well in 'real-life' that goes over on your partner/ spouse.
