I have been watching this show from the very beginning and it hooked me straight away, Greys Anatomy did the same thing and I have religiously watched every episode. While this is not as soapy as GA, but there are similarities that appeal to me and I would rate them both very closely.
For me this is a brilliant show and I look forward to watching it each week.
It seems to me to be very realistic and does not sugar coat the unfortunate side of medicine as some shows do, it is also for me very educational. I am a bit anti doctors and will question them on everything if I have the misfortune of being in a hospital, and this show seems to encourage that line of thinking.
Finally I am and have been a big fan of Alfred Molina, so this may seem a biased review. He, Ving Rhames and Keoung Sim are outstanding and make me smile whenever they are on screen. The whole cast is amazing really and all put in very good performances, right down to the tiresome Lawyer played by Anthony Heald. I was so happy his character got eaten by Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs.
8/10 for me, some episodes get 10/10
