    Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
    InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
    Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
    Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
    sayan-bose123 Has to be the best TV series I watched this year. Thanks to Amazon Prime, that I got to watch this. A person from the field of medicine will criticise all of the surgeries,operations,treatments and the medical talk that this TV series comprises of, but if you don't analyse too deeply and just look at the creativity and effort that has gone into making this, you will be in love with it. I fell in love with the characters, got so attached to them while I was watching that I wished that the TV series never came to an end. Looking forwards to Season 2
    helloheather30 Enjoyable lightweight programme ... It's very schmaltzy and slushy and glossy and too silly to be true ..... but now I've bonded with the characters, story lines and pace I really like it ... Episode 8 had me in dopey, happy, tears ... (they do steal and slim down some plot lines from Greys Anatomy) ... I think it's ideal as a feel-good filler and somehow found myself watching back to back episodes ..... Pure Genius if you want some frothy, clean, modern, medical fun.
    kctxr sad too see another great show go because of the cost of production. i can usually tell the single season shows after the first episode by seeing special effects (knight rider~2008,minority report,almost human) or just shows with things that stimulate imagination (Pure Genius). yes! they will replace this show with the same old format of an er doctor walking the halls and saving lives with no splash! throw in the same old scandal,affairs and the tragic life altering scene (an accident or shooting) will last maybe 2 episodes for me! but last 5 seasons... yes i understand the importance of saving money! but you are here for entertainment and noise. but 90% of TV has becomemostly expensive background noise !!
    SnoopyStyle James Bell (Augustus Prew) is a high-tech billionaire who builds his medical facility Bunkerhill to push the technological envelope of medicine while pushing back against traditional methodology. He convinces Dr. Walter Wallace (Dermot Mulroney) to join as the Chief of Staff. Dr. Zoe Brockett (Odette Annable), Dr. Malik Verlaine (Aaron Jennings), and Dr. Talaikha Channarayapatra (Reshma Shetty) are some of the doctors. Angie Cheng (Brenda Song) is the technological assistant who takes a liking to Catholic Priest Dr. Scott Strauss (Ward Horton).The character James Bell exists at various places on the spectrum and it's hard to pin him down. I'm willing to buy him as a mercurial character. I'm much less interested in Dermot Mulroney's performance. He's desperate to be a serious veteran but comes off as looking tired and sounding cold. He has more compelling intensity than that. The other characters struggle between a high-tech hospital drama and a sudsy soap. Neither side functions that well. There is a cold distancing barrier to this hospital drama.
