Emily Owens M.D.

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 have been watching Emily Owens MD for several weeks and looked forwarding to seeing it every week. It wasn't on for last couple of weeks and I am hoping it wasn't cancelled. It was one of the best new shows I've seen in a while. Then I saw something about it was being cancelled. I hope it's not true. It wasn't on long enough to give it a real chance. I thought it was a really good show. I thought Dr. Necar Zadegan who plays the strict boss was very good, and so was Cassandra and Justin Hartley and Rady. Mamie Gummer looks so much like her movie star mother Meryl Streep that I knew right away who Mamie's mother was. I like Mamie and think she is a good actress.I know of many TV shows I wouldn't watch which are popular, yet they cancel Emily Owens MD which I liked better than most of the popular TV shows. They shouldn't have cancelled it. I think it could have been successful. What a letdown.

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!

I just told my sister this is a good show. I was very surprised to see the review status... But then saw that was based only on 3 opinions. I don't think I have ever left a review before, but felt, I needed to lend this show my support. It's truly too good to let it go without a fight.

My sister watches a lot of TV and mostly I just walk away. This show held my interest. That's saying a lot without saying too much (no spoilers). This show has a polished quality that I first mistook for a film. Seeing the episode made me want to know more about this rising star who I didn't recognize from anything I had seen before. Daughter of Meryl Streep - NO WONDER! One picks up a lot from family members. Mammie seems to have picked up her mothers uncanny timing and charm. I look forward to seeing more of her as 'Emily Owens' or...?
