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.

2/24/18. I really loved this medical comedy series! Sadly, it only lasted one season. Why? While watching the pilot I just knew I would watch the whole series. The premise was so novel - surgical internship as high school all over again. Gummer did a fine job as Emily Owens, who gets to do an internship with her medical school crush (Will) while dealing with Cassandra, her nemesis from high school. She gets to have a great friend in Tyra, a gay intern with daddy issues. Their relationships are the ongoing backstories for the 13 episodes, while dealing with at least 3 medical cases in each episode. Though it was so formulaic, the familiarity offered viewers the opportunity to focus on the dynamics in each case. The season ended with enough loose ends to keep the series going as the writing was really good. Catch it, even it just lasted one season.

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 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...?

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.
