I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Why is it that as soon as a strong woman character or story lines relating specifically women, it's "feminist propaganda" and the characters are seen as blazing uber-women who obliterate men with single word? God forbid we have strong women characters on television in stories dedicated to women's health.The show does have its faults (can often be over-the-top, cheesy, and things wrap up a tad conveniently), but it's still a great show. Good mix of humor and drama, and the stories have consistently gotten better as it progressed. It's nice to see women's health issues having some more light shed on them, in particular the story of Lu's rape was very well done and poignant. Well done!

I know, I know... that's another show. Strong Medicine is just fantastic, and I feel pretty bad that it took me so long to discover it, but having been an ER-viewer for so long, it was odd to discover a much better hospital series. Not that ER is much at the moment, so my comparison might go wrong there. I just love this show and Rosa Blasi, who plays Dr. Lu Delgado, is just fantastic. When she gets mad, you just want to go into hiding yourself. Too bad that Janine Turner's character Dr. Dana Stowe doesn't give much resistance to the strong personality of Lu and sometimes I wonder if her task is just to have a sheepish look on her face. Lana (Jenifer Lewis) is a great character too, a little over the top like she's supposed to. Nurse Riggs is very unique in many ways, but I loved the scene in which he goes to console Lu after she's been raped and he has tears sliding down his cheeks. He seems like the perfect guy. The character of Dr. Jackson is cold and strict but human too. In short: a terrific show! Funny and sad at the same time, pointing the finger in a subtle way at flaws in the system.

In this TV program, EVERYTHING goes over the top. A woman gets breast cancer and everyone cries, later the doctor reveals that her mother died from breast cancer, a few minutes after that another doctors mom gets diagnosed with breast cancer and they all cry together. This is what this show is like, they copy other shows with the drama we have seen hundreds of times before and just add little on to that making it cheesy and lame. The actresses are crap, overacting everything and always looking like they just spent in the chair having a make-up artist work on them, no wait actually that really is the case here they just did that. It´s also clear that this show is a feminist propaganda, which Whoopy Goldberg is behind.Dreadful. 3/10

I like this show. It's real. It shows you what being a doctor is like, and how the patients deal with their doctors, and how they handle things. The first episode really pulled you in, I plan to watch it every week. I think people should really check this show out.
