Black Box

I really do not understand why this show was canceled. I mean, I absolutely loved it! I have watched 'House', 'treys Anatomy', 'Scrubs' and those kinds of hospital shows for a long time, but honestly I must say that this one is my favorite of them all! The show contains great characters and I love the relationship in the family and the dynamic at 'The Cube' Hospital. It has an exiting storyline and I find to really interesting that Catherine must struggle with her own decease while helping other patients. I have actually been really into neurology since I watched this show for the first time. I couldn't stop watching, so I saw season one from the beginning and though out on two days.. I would recommend making a season two off this show and do more to make people aware off the show. Who agrees? Save some money on making another season off House.

Seriously, to cancel a thing like this requires progressively degrading IQ over decades and spread all over the "organization" - if there's any left by this time :-))

What a loss, what a stupidity of proverbial "brass".

Yes it is intense and challenging for the "Dancing with the Stars" crowd - that's what art does.

Soooo ABC is not so stupid and boring because they had a bad luck - it's because they chose to be that way. No use saying anything more, but this does explain the whole history that gave them so bad name that these days it's the ultimate embarrassment if someone's show can't get anyone but ABC to air it.

(review based on the pilot)

I do not understand the complains and the negative critics. You have to rate the title based on the subject and the genre. I think it has some potential, if the writers divert the story to the right direction. It all depends how good they can develop the characters, what kind of new story-lines can they bring in. Obviously the best parts are when the main character goes crazy, so this element will be the main driver force. The whole visual atmosphere is kinda dark, it's like a film noir, and the music emphasize this. I think this is one of the strongest feature of the movie. You should give it a try. Overall very enjoyable pilot.

The plot focuses upon mental illness in the best of ways: by having a physician herself expressing Bi-Polar Disorder behaviors. This strongly suggests that mental illness can impact anyone.

With Vanessa Redgrave acting as the psychiatrist of main character, Dr, Black, we can't top her performances! Redgrave's great in this role and should keep the series very interesting and informative.

I like the fact that we're getting a variety of perspectives of how family, co-workers, lovers and friends treat people who they know have serious-enough bouts with manias, most especially.

If I were to change one aspect, it would be to have more of Vanessa Redgrave providing "the talking cure" (psychoanalysis) to Dr. Black, especially while she's on a mania high.

I was shockingly surprised at how honest the writers were with not only the topic but the characters too. I hope all viewers will be open and receptive to this still very "taboo" topic. From those of us who struggle just to live our everyday lives while feeling the constant necessity to hide our serious medical conditions from both strangers and loved ones... we applaud the candid, honest, & realistic everyday scenarios performed by many characters. Until all people open their hearts & minds to LEARNING THE FACTS about mental illnesses, THOSE WHO SUFFER, will continue to do so NEEDLESSLY. Obviously there is a lot of literature out there for the few who search, but I believe this will help immensely in starting to reach an audience who would otherwise continue to live ignorantly in the dark. My heartfelt gratitude to all who made this show possible. I believe it will entertain, educate, and help a lot of people in all walks of life. :)
