Love The Podcast? You'll Love This.
It's so awesome to FINALLY see Christian Slater get a 'good guy' part- I've loved him since we were teens, but he always seems to play the smarmy, snarky jerk.

He and Baldwin are excellent compatriots in the role of protagonists- and I'm excited NBC decided to be adults and let us watch for ourselves at our own speed.

Looking forward to the rest of the episodes!

You should have effectively opened your mouth, instead of your wide eyes

Warning: Spoilers
An interesting pilot of a series where ego, incompetence, leniency and trust mix in a way that led to the happened, many times over the course of two years. Two years!

You're watching a based-on series and episode, but you're 'tossing and turning' because of the facts.

Joshua Jackson plays his role to near perfection.

You really got to be a fan of one of these actors to hang in...

I wanted to watch Reacher, but my wife doesn't like it. So I tried Fargo and she doesn't like it. So we settled on this. So my wife is a nurse, so I think she finds the medical stuff interesting. And talking about the real world tie ins.

I found this to be as exciting as waiting in the waiting room for a doctor. I am sure this kind of stuff happens in real life. Especially the cover ups. But as a show it's frustrating to watch. It's so slow you start thinking about all the medical stuff that has bothered you over the years. But what can you do ? So the show gets you riled up because you start thinking g about the real world stuff instead of paying attention to the show. Not that you really miss anything. It's an 8th grade script ...read one word a minute if you account for how NOT COMPELLING the show is.

Did I mention how slow and boring this is? Nothing about this is a thriller or suspense. It's a bad doctor who gaslights medical staff that don't do the right thing and report him. That's the whole show. Now take 60 minutes to draw that out for 8 episodes a season.
