Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Samuel Schwab This show shows some of the most compelling real life scenarios that a paramedic/EMT will have to see in real life. Besides some sub par medical work which is to be expected the show does a great job showing what its really like to work in the field of running "911" emergency calls. I wish the show wouldn't have ended. Even though it has been a few years now that it has been off the air I would love to see a type of show like this come back. I know that there are a ton of people that would watch this on a weekly basis because its one of those shows that grabs you and pulls you in for more. I have been into this show since I discovered it and wish that it didn't stop after the first season it would have been a continually great show that survived many years.

gremma Trauma became a no miss in my TV week. So many of the shows on the schedule now start out being different, like Nip/Tuck, it was fascinating to watch the surgical part that I knew nothing about, then it just turned into a soap opera like all the others. It had great possibilities, but it took the the easy way. I loved Six Feet Under, what a great concept, the corpse talking to the guy who had something valuable to add to what was happening in his life; then soap opera or worse made me rather watch cartoons, anything rather than that. Now Trauma comes along, it is new, fresh, and very rewarding. It had so many things I didn't know and had never even thought of. Some people have said it wasn't completely accurate in all ways, but it was so exciting, edge of your sit stuff--who cares! The characters are interesting and likable and the cases were very interesting. How they become so familiar with their city and its "regulars" and what lengths they go to to help injured people. I like this so much more than ER or Grey's Anatomy. After watching a few episodes of this I wanted to go into my local firehouse and thank them for being who they are and doing what they do. I think it is a show with everything it takes to be a hit, it exciting, it's informative, it's engaging, it seems very real to me, and I have come to care about these characters. Now if it can keep it's edge and not fall into soap opera hell, it will be a big hit. Though I know it's a fine line to walk to let us know more about the characters, but not go to far and make it a soap opera. I thought the first season was top-notch. I am looking forward for more, more, more! Love it, keep 'em coming!

tinafries The most juicy, action-packed and sexy show without even one vamp.. At all. Peter Berg, the executive Producer was on Chicago Hope for years for crying out. He has directed so many great movies and shows. He knows like the crew what works visually. And to put messy characters together and make it work is great television to me. It is like all other shows. Either you like it or you don't. No one ever said anything about vampire stuff being realistic so why would anyone make Trauma a target? Finally when it comes down to it. It's fictional entertainment. That's it. Anyhow! In a whole other way.. I think it's great to watch something that isn't about rich doctors or dirty cops or other questionable figures. But basic people with basic problems solving them in basic ways. Shows that works aren't the setting but the human relationships.

RWales522 As a veteran paramedic and a paramedic educator, I am disgusted by this show's terrible medical care and poor portrayal of my profession. Every single patient encounter in "Trauma" is done improperly. All of these medics and EMTs would lose their certification and even face jail time for the stunts they have pulled. While I certainly understand that NBC has to infuse a certain amount of extra drama into the show in order to attract viewers, they cannot sacrifice every last shred of realism to do so. Paramedics and EMTs in the US have been wanting to have a good EMS show on TV again, but after "Saved" and now "Trauma," my hopes aren't high.
