I have seen all of greys anatomy from season one thru now. Love chicago med, the good dr, and the resident. Worked in a large medical center for quite a few years, not sure if sex er is not staged, and the old er reruns very unacceptable medical wise. Code black ok but not my favorite.
I like some parts of Chicago Med. Oliver Platt's character, Dr. Charles was my favorite at first but he's getting some tired and tedious lines and scenarios these days. You know the phrase, if you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras? Every single one of his psych patients is a zebra. It drives me bonkers. I don't care for Natalie or Will. The surgeon's mentor, played by Gregg Henry, was a great character and though his death was perfect for the development of the story, I hated to see him go. It bugs me that patients come in, get seen, tested, diagnosed and have complicated surgeries to cure them all during their doctor's shift. I've never seen a hospital that works that way. I hate that there seems to be four doctors standing around for each patient and that there is a lot of silence and just knowing looks between them instead of dialogue and action. I mean, seriously, does no one there have a job to do? 😃
The Resident has potential. I've been calling the main character Dr Dimples because he's so damn adorable. They cast him on purpose because they're not stupid and want to try to create a new Dr Dreamy phenom but he is handsome. I never got the whole Dr Dreamy thing. I never saw the appeal of him. Then again, I never watched Grey's Anatomy. The medical technology shown in the series is fascinating. I'm curious to see how the show plays out.
I love Marcia Gay Harden's character in Code Black and the relationship between her and Luis Guzman's character. There is real heart between them and in the show itself. My Ex's mother passed away nearly two years ago and something Harden's character said about grief helped me help him cope, "This is grief. This is what it looks like. Just let it be." Those words told me not to try to fix things for him but just to let him talk, cry, and grieve as he needed, and to just be there for him. Probably because of that, I'm a little biased in liking the show as much as I do.
I loved ER and have seen every episode more times than I can count. I used to race home from EMT school in time to catch it back in the day. Sure, all the medical stuff is poorly done but I loved the characters and their interactions and many of the medical scenarios were interesting. It's funny that I identified with one character when the show came out, a completely different one years later, and another one these days. Time changes you. I'm a cranky old broad now. Next thing you know, I'll identify most with Frank, the receptionist. LOL
