brilliantly void
The actually unjustified hype around this series unfortunately convinced me to spend some time on it.
Indeed, it is brilliantly void from almost any content. It feels like a "resident" screen writer got a first exercise to
fill 12 times 1 hour 10 till 1 hour 40 minutes. Honestly, it gets better during the last episodes, finally trying to
shed some light on possibly realistic and interesting situations in a hospital. However this strongly contrasts
with absolutely impossible situations - a few minutes apart. Yes, the feelings of "tiresome" and "boresome" and despair
of the first years of residence are quite well conveyed in the first episodes, yet who cares about them, apart actual residents?
Again, good camera work, pleasant and good actors cannot save a bland writing. Technique can be learned, creativity not.
