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.
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.

If there's any indication that the fall TV season is shaping up to be something really good then "Trauma" is another candidate for another hit that gives the proceedings loads of gravitas and energy. With ER off the airways and other themed shows vying for our viewing pleasure such as Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, Trauma takes a different approach as the rescuers are out in the field rather than the emergency room saving lives while also trying to deal with issues in their personal lives at home or when their on the job.
Sure, there's some nitpicks I have with the show. The first being is that there's only snippets of character development but the show is fast paced and thrilling with a jaw-dropping opening that will leave you on the edge of your seat. But there's also humor and charm that works really well within the shows atmosphere and little by little you'll grow to like the characters even more.
Even with Grey's Anatomy and other similar shows out there, "Trauma" mixes action with humor, charm, and suspense with likable characters and great storytelling. And it's produced by Peter Berg, the man who gave us Hancock, giving it a gritty edge that's hog wild in the world that they created.

Trauma is a great show. I got into it initially by turning channels out of boredom. But once I started watching it, I was hooked! It's well-written, fast-paced, has great characters, actors & story lines. It's exciting & funny & emotional.
I'm thrilled that NBC is giving it a few more episodes - it blows most other shows away ( in terms of "watchability"), so I don't know why they'd want to cancel it ( although it seems like most of the really great shows get cancelled prematurely, IMHO). Please help keep it going!!
I don't watch too many TV shows, but I have to admit that I really look forward to watching this one - can't wait til it's back!

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.

- TriviaThe first TV show since Nash Bridges (1996) to be filmed entirely in San Francisco.
- GoofsA recurring error throughout the series involves the medics (EMS) being first on scene and working alone for a significant amount of time. In reality, the police are usually first on scene followed by fire/rescue and then EMS. This is due to there being more police units, them being on patrol, along with more fire stations since not all stations have an ambulance assigned to them.
