You really got to be a fan of one of these actors to hang in...

I wanted to watch Reacher, but my wife doesn't like it. So I tried Fargo and she doesn't like it. So we settled on this. So my wife is a nurse, so I think she finds the medical stuff interesting. And talking about the real world tie ins.

I found this to be as exciting as waiting in the waiting room for a doctor. I am sure this kind of stuff happens in real life. Especially the cover ups. But as a show it's frustrating to watch. It's so slow you start thinking about all the medical stuff that has bothered you over the years. But what can you do ? So the show gets you riled up because you start thinking g about the real world stuff instead of paying attention to the show. Not that you really miss anything. It's an 8th grade script ...read one word a minute if you account for how NOT COMPELLING the show is.

Did I mention how slow and boring this is? Nothing about this is a thriller or suspense. It's a bad doctor who gaslights medical staff that don't do the right thing and report him. That's the whole show. Now take 60 minutes to draw that out for 8 episodes a season.
