This is really starting to grow with each episode.

Going from patient to patient and hopping back and forth really adds tension you don’t get from typical hour long medical dramas.

It was bugging me because I knew I recognized the cocky intern. Just realize she did a season on Picard.

Really got a kick out of the betting group on the stolen ambulance.

Oof I ignored this one for a month. This is my first medical drama other than Scrubs. I’m loving it.

It's not ER, but it's pretty damn close. I like the twist of being one shift in the pitt and Noah Wyle is just great.

This is really good. Having lost my mother this past year, the scenes with the adult brother and sister saying goodbye to their dying father really gutted me.

On a different note, the "Kraken" scene was hilarious. I was not prepared for that. Poor Whitaker, he's having a rough one.

I lost my Dad in January of 2024 and those scenes were realistic and very well done. Everything from the suctioning and managing secretions is true to life. I went through all of that. I cried during those scenes.

This is the best medical show currently on tv. Noah Wyle wrote episode 4 and he knocked it out of the park. My only complaint with this show is that if you compare it to ER. ER had a better cast and acting from that cast, but that original ensemble was a masterwork of casting.

The original cast was just fantastic, but most of the later additions were pretty good, too. Anthony Edwards, George Clooney, Julianna Margulies and Eriq La Salle were just great. It's was also great to watch the development of John Carter as a character and Noah Wyle as an actor. I was so happy when he returned to the show back then.

Noah Wyle just posted that they finally wrapped production of season 1. It was a 149 day shoot for the 15 episodes.

We can all see how the one actor looks like he’s brothers with Anthony Starr right?

I can see the resemblance.

They have the same hair color, that's about it.

Doctor Robby is starting to lose his shit. I pretty sure, he will have a breadown during his shift.

Episode 8 was a hard pill to swallow, between the honor walk and the little girl dying, there weren't a lot of light moments.

Do you mean Shawn Hatosy who played Dr. Jack Abbot? His shift was ending and Dr. Robby was taking over for him. We might see him again in the season finale when it's time for his shift to start and he takes over for Robby.

There's also a psych patient called the Kraken that's played by a different actor.

Ooof. I don't know why I watch this show sometimes, it's addictive but it's grueling to watch.

Pretty intense scene between Robby and Langdon.

Spoiler:
Langdon is fired

I actually really like the 15-hour concept. Over the years I have watched lots of medical dramas with my wife, and I can't think of many that I cared for after the first season. I appreciate character development in the background, and most shows stop focusing on the conflict of the work to focus on the personal lives of the characters. Meh.

I think we are on episode 4 or 5 (I've been in and out), but have been binging this evening. Digging this so far!

When she first put it on, I had to ask if the was ER: Junior Edition. So much of the cast appear to be 12-years-old.

I just watched eps 9 & 10. Very good and very tense at times.

The scenes with the burn victim, I was thinking to myself, "this kind of burn coverage usually doesn't end well," but the doctors weren't indicating that until they send the guy off and then Langdon breaks it to Whitaker. Some other good scenes with Whitaker and the Kraken, and also the dog and rat.

Re: Langdon
Spoiler:
Damn, I was surprised that he really was stealing meds. I figured there was going to be some other explanation. And it says something that a rookie notices the discrepancies on her first day, instead of someone from the regular staff figuring it out. This is really going to ramp up the pressure on Dr. Robby now that they are down a doctor for this shift.
