St. Denis Medical

It's nowhere near on par with "The Office" or "Parks and Rec" (nothing ever will be), but it's got some laugh out loud moments. It reminds me a lot of Superstore, although that could be because half the cast came from that show. I can see how it's not for everyone, but it's definitely a lot better than most of the comedies I've seen released in the last few years. As one of the other reviews said, the comedic style is a bit more like the characters are cracking jokes with each other than trying to make the audience laugh. But there were some funny enough moments to make up for that, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes!

I turned this on because I was such a fan of Superstore. It is definitely a different tone than Superstore, but this show is clearly going for something more meaningful. It's cute, it's funny, it's about caring, and it's about community.

I think that it could qualify as a "Feel Good Comedy." It depicts relatable people as they struggle through the challenges of health care and caring for people that need help.

I have several family members who work in health care, and everything that I saw tracks with what I have seen so far in the show.

There are some new actors that I don't recognize, but there are some that I love (any cast from Superstore) seeing in new roles.

The office in a medical center, what do you need more. As a doctor, a lot of these interactions and jokes are very recognisable from the daily work.

A good show to relax after a long day, well filmed, good actors. Interested to see where they will be taking the characters and the storyline.

Yes, the characters are gross generalisations from each discipline but there is some truth in it which makes it more funny.

Lighten up all healthcare workers who are leaving bad reviews, this doesn't put us in a bad light. Relax and laugh with yourself and your (sometimes annoying) collegues, it's just a joke!

*St. Denis Medical* plays like a tongue-in-cheek roast of hospital dramas, taking on the genre's endless parade of personal crises that rarely leave room for actual medicine. Rather than saving lives with stoic resolve, the doctors and nurses here are tangled in their own quirks and foibles: a head doctor terrified of needles, a new nurse bumbling his way through basic tasks, and an administrator more focused on boosting the hospital's reputation than fixing its dysfunction. Unlike *Grey's Anatomy*, where every love affair is treated as a life-or-death scenario, *St. Denis Medical* winks at the audience, pointing out how ridiculous it would be if real hospitals ran on the same level of personal drama. The show subtly mocks the genre's formulaic conventions, making it clear that a world this messy is far from the heroics-filled hospitals that medical dramas have sold us for years.

What makes *St. Denis Medical* refreshing, though, is that it doesn't shy away from showing just how flawed the healthcare system-and by extension, the people running it-really are. It hints at genuine issues like underfunding and overworked staff, but opts to show these truths through the lens of absurdity rather than earnest social commentary. The satire might be soft, but there's a pointedness in the way it tackles certain archetypes: the aloof, "House"-inspired diagnostician who ironically fears the sight of blood, or the overzealous administrator who believes a pep rally will fix morale in a crumbling ER. These jabs may be gentle, but they still get their mark across, highlighting just how absurd it is that so many real-life crises end up buried beneath the genre's melodramatic formula. By not being afraid to laugh at itself, *St. Denis Medical* stands as a self-aware takedown of TV's longstanding obsession with medical heroics.

Two episodes in, St. Denis Medical already feels like it's on the path to becoming one of the all-time greats, much like The Office. While the latter took its time to find its groove, we all know the heights it reached, and St. Denis Medical carries that same potential.

What stands out is how it mirrors the workplace humor and absurdity of The Office, but in a fresh, quirky medical setting. The characters, although still unfolding, hint at a dynamic chemistry that could become iconic. The humor feels sharp, relatable, and laden with just the right amount of awkwardness-a hallmark of great workplace comedies.

If you're a fan of shows that build a strong ensemble cast and weave comedy through everyday chaos, this is the series to watch. It's shaping up to be a unique yet familiar addition to the genre, and I, for one, am excited to see where it goes!

St. Denis Medical might just be the prescription for laughter we all need.
