Rush

I started watching this program because it came on before Satisfaction. The good news it is I like it much better. At first I was upset a doctor could do this. Be a drug addict. My daughter is a doctor and I am a nurse. After watching this program, I realized it was just great drama. It is the writing that is great. It moves fast and the plot keeps going. The characters are clear on who they are without confusion. It involves some humor at times. It is close to what life is. How people get messed up. This is for real.. In the real world people do this kind of crap. I have seem it myself in the 30 years of nursing. It is better than Grays Anatomy. Not just pretty people and made up unbelievable situations. I can see some of this happening. Keep up the good work. I do hope they keep this program going. They should drop the satisfaction if they need space for a program.. It is so slow and poor writing. You can tell this writer has some experience about these types of situations. Keep up the good work... WB

Last time I wrote a review I did it in defense of a show that deserved to be defended. This time I'm likely the first (amongst IMDb users that is).

I probably wouldn't have heard about this show if I hadn't stumbled on it's premiere by accident. Which would have been a shame to be honest.

I was very positively surprised watching the premiere episode unlike with most shows these days where the hype gets built up by promos and trailers only for it all to end with a big disappointment come premiere day.

One thing that I don't get about the general information on the show is the genre. It's listed as Action/Drama, which is accurate but what is missing here is a Comedy tag.

The show is genuinely funny!

But it's the Joss Whedon meets Nathan Fillion meets House M.D. kind of funny for people who know what I mean. Comedy here is how the characters - or rather the main character - handles day to day situations and interacts with others.

For some reason Comedy genre tag has lately been reserved for those 20- something minute dumb sitcoms which I honestly cannot bear to watch. The quality of humour in those is below what I'd qualify as pathetic.

The show is very entertaining and pleasant to watch. However as I've mentioned before only a single episode premiered so far, offering everyone who enjoyed it so far a great opportunity to feel disappointed still.

This one's from USA so I'm hoping that will not be the case.

I have seen Tom Ellis is other things, comedy/drama, and have always thought he could go places, and deserved to go places. I have to admit I am a fan of his which makes me biased. I have read the other reviews and cannot understand why anyone would comment on his bad behaviour. It's his bad behaviour that makes his character, we are watching a doctor disillusioned by the way he has been treated and who then takes his actions into his own hands. He has a conscience, but he keeps it under lock and key, he helps people even if he doesn't want to, his humanity is still there. I like Rush as a character. People seem to think if you are a doctor you do it out of the goodness of your heart and helping is a calling. That is obviously true in some cases, and maybe with Rush at one time as well, but a great percentage do it for the money. Let's see how he develops, I just hope he doesn't turn into some do gooder.

There are few TV shows that will make you ''rush'' on almost every episode such as it is case with ''RUSH''. Tom Ellis at his finest (besides Lucifer of course) makes you wanna watch several episodes in a row and yet every episode is different and even ''rushier'' than the one before! You just can't get bored watching this show, and even when you're stuck in a sofa with a back pain from lying and watching one episode after another, you just can't stop watching! Brace your self, this show is not for the ''weak-harted''. Though, this show has one big flaw...and it is; they stopped making more episodes! For everyone looking for a rush, i recommend this show. Peace.

I love Tom Ellis from watching Lucifer and that's how I stumbled on this show by searching for more of his shows. The characters, Lucifer and Rush, have some similarities and just enjoyable to watch. Wish there was more of Rush to watch. Love you Tom!
