ER: Middle of Nowhere (1999)
Season 5, Episode 16
There's a lot to not like about this
10 May 2022
How to deal with the aftermath of George Clooney's exit? Follow Benton to Nowheresville, USA.

I'm not American. This ep seems to perpetuate many stereotypes, particularly race and education. Even disregarding those issues, any episode not set in the ER is against the vibe of the show. You call a show ER, you set it in an ER. Not at Greene's parents' house, not Las Vegas, not Mississippi. This ep feels like it's filler for the viewer to delay their processing of Doug's departure, and by focusing on Benton seems like he's trying to fill that spot. It doesn't work. Benton learns patients are people? Whoop Dee doo.
