Night Shift

Being a surgeon myself i watched two episodes (first two). I cannot believe my eyes! I know for cinematic purposes medical procedures are a little different from real world. But when you do open chest surgery in the ER, with no masks!!! What are the directors trying to portray here? Drama and coolness abounds but glaring falsity in treating patients must not be twisted. wrong wrong wrong. At least HouseMD and Greys anatomy do not distort the medical procedures (sterility etc). They need a medical adviser to make this better. The first episode with the doctor doing auto transfusion without filtering is again a misnomer with what we really do. I will not go to this hospital ever.

This show was really awesome for the first two seasons. I really loved how it was done and how the characters were so relatable and worked so well together. Sadly .. the third season did a total 180 and it absolutely ruined the show for me. They removed really great characters without even giving them a goodbye episode and one of them was just gone with an explanation. Honestly, just everything about the third season sucks, and I'm really sad that they went such an awful direction and made it so unwatchable.

I hope this runs longer than one season. I found it charming and uplifting that there could ever be a place where people meant more than the bottom line.The characters seemed to fit.The heart was in the place with each doctor nurse and staff. Maybe it is too much for some just coming back from duty,but I liked it. I will be tuning in each week to see what happens. I would class it in line with N.C.I.S and hope it stays around. I wish more shows were of the drama involved here.Inspired. Tragic brings hope without terror.Keep up the good work.The facts are that they don't take entertainment serious anymore. Casting works in this case the seem to fit just right.

I find it quite funny how the general public of today can't give credit where it's due. This show, any show at that is geared for entertainment purposes and that's that.

I find "The Night Shift" entertaining, well acted, thought provoking and greatly paced. Just because what unfolds during "The Night Shift" may not follow protocol of an actual E.R. that doesn't mean it should take away from the show,IT'S A SHOW FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. If you don't find this entertaining go stare at a rock.

You also have to realize, this show brought plenty of people work for an extended amount of time. I happen to be personal friends with one of the main, lead actors. I spent quite a bit of time on set and the effort put forth for this show to become a success was immense! Everyone worked their tails off, everyone took pride and the local economy/workers prospered greatly. If a show, as this one can boost a local economy (like ABQ, where filmed) then fantastic. Also, for all the under qualified naysayers of this show, tune in next season for season 2 of "The Night Shift." Enjoy tonight's episode!

I get a kick out of the professionals that complain that the show is unrealistic. I do the same for law enforcement shows. This is TV. Tell me which show is factually correct in every respect. Take NCIS one of the most popular and successful series ever. I was in federal law enforcement for almost 30 years and the stuff they do is so ridiculous. But it is entertaining which is what these TV shows are intended to be.
