Emily Owens M.D.

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.

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.

So far I've watched 3 episodes. I never liked this kind of TV shows but this show stood out when I was flipping throw the channels. no plot holes or bridge scenes so far, the performance is great, the show is character driven, they don't focus a lot on the gadgets. I've been doing some research my self on the medical terminology they use and so far they have been good. I get the feeling that the writing team gets a lot of say. watching the show makes me feel that there is a great team behind it. i think that the show will last for a while as long as it stays funny and smart. its a good show and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

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.

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!
