    StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
    Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
    Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
    Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
    mrsbeneteau I'm not a TV junkie, expert, social guru, or anything like that but I am someone that knows a great show when I see one. I've never written a review before, so here goes. I don't normally watch much of what is on TV now-a-days, there just isn't anything that catches me. I spend more time reading books. I will admit I did start watching Remedy because I had enjoyed watching Enrico Colantoni in Flashpoint. However, Remedy caught my attention, right away and I was hooked. It had all the usual drama but with a realistic spin. I loved how it showed the difference between the doctors, nurses and 'other' workers in a hospital setting. The writers did a great job creating story lines that though they were made up, we also real. I've always loved medical dramas but Remedy had just that little extra. Plus the actors/actresses were all very talented! My only complaint is that they cancelled it after the 2nd season. Big Mistake I think.
    thumper-92288 I thought another medical show? But wanted to give it a shot because it had the moving and powerful Enrico Colantoni (FlashPoint, Veronica Mars, Just Shoot Me). So i dived in right from the first episode. And I knew right away it was not just another medical show. I mean it has some incredibly wickedly real medical scenes that will sometimes leave you ugh, but its because they are done so well.It centres around the Conner family and those that happen to get involved in their lives. While Enrico Colantoni (as Dr Allen Conner), Sarah Allen (Nurse Sandy Conner), Sara Canning (Dr Mel Conner ) and Dillon Casey ( Griffin Conner, Porter hoping to be Dr) are the stars of the show and do a magnificently brilliant job episode after episode, I could not continue to watch without the supporting cast that is around them. I got hooked on the characters of Josey the Clown , "Sassy" Nurse Patel, Zoe, Kanaskie and Jerry. They balanced the Conners out, brought them back to reality so to speak.The story lines were brilliant! The stories were often relatable to things that were going on in my own life and I found myself using Kleenex quite often while watching. I say great writing, great directing & great acting make quality TV. Remedy has all.I am saddened to know I will have to dream about whether Griffin will make it, whether Mel will stay with Dr Culter or go back to Jerry & whether Zoe & Griffin can find their way back to each other. I needed and wanted more of Remedy , I hope you can take a look at both season 1 & 2...especially season 2 and tell me whether you agree that Dillon Casey deserves a nomination for his portrayal of Griffin. If I had it in my power, Remedy would be going on for season after season...yes I think its that good! thank you Remedy for being in my life :)
    Saverina Scozzari Ah, Remedy. It killed me to bid farewell to a well-written and well-cast Canadian television program. The drama/comedy gave me hope that there was a bright future for Canadian television. I went in thinking it'd be like Grey's Anatomy (not a fan), but came out pleasantly surprised and as a full fledged fan. Each episode was based on a true story, which I really appreciate. There's nothing better than when a TV show is relatable. Also, I feel that its family dynamic is responsible for the cult following. If you are not yet aware of the plot, Remedy follows a family that works in a big-city hospital (filmed in Toronto and Hamilton). You have the prodigal son who was lost, found, and then lost again in the downstairs of the hospital, while his two sisters and father work upstairs making and cleaning up messes of their own. It doesn't get realer than that. The show itself wasn't the only thing I loved. The social media team made a point of interacting with all of Remedy's viewers and fans. Each week they hosted a live-tweet. I cannot count how many times my tweets were favourited and retweeted. They are also very supportive of members of the press. As a host and writer who interviewed a couple of Remedy's cast members, I was connected with other writers and hosts via a #FollowFriday shoutout. It is very unfortunate that the show was cancelled after only 2 seasons. I hope that Global will reconsider its decision or that Remedy will relaunch digitally.
    davet-61724 I'm stuck watching this because my wife does. The show should be called the fighting hospital or hospital fighting family. It's on the level of the red green show. I've been waiting for red green to make a cameo instead of trying to be funny it's fighting and arguing. I know this might be a surprise but there is room for better story lines. I really don't know why they have other actor's on cause it always centers around the four actors. I hope it gets better the second time around. What's this ten line thing I can say what needs to be said in less. But I guess we all have to sound uneducated. So with this being said it should be enough.
