2/24/18. I really loved this medical comedy series! Sadly, it only lasted one season. Why? While watching the pilot I just knew I would watch the whole series. The premise was so novel - surgical internship as high school all over again. Gummer did a fine job as Emily Owens, who gets to do an internship with her medical school crush (Will) while dealing with Cassandra, her nemesis from high school. She gets to have a great friend in Tyra, a gay intern with daddy issues. Their relationships are the ongoing backstories for the 13 episodes, while dealing with at least 3 medical cases in each episode. Though it was so formulaic, the familiarity offered viewers the opportunity to focus on the dynamics in each case. The season ended with enough loose ends to keep the series going as the writing was really good. Catch it, even it just lasted one season.
