    I did enjoy the first episodes of this show, but it felt like it took a long time for the show to really dig into the personal life of the main character. And by the time they did, the show got cancelled. It's only one season, and the ending is way rushed. I think it had potential, but it's not worth the time for anyone to watch just this one season.

    When I first saw this advertised I was ready to write it off but I thought, what the hell watch a couple of episodes just to see, I watched the pilot and and thought it was laughably bad (I immediately renamed the main character bimbette in my mind) then I picked a random episode (number 8) to see if they ever found their way it did after all contain a story about Bimbette's own father needing treatment so we might get some good character development, they did not, the episode in question was terrible. The entire premise of this series seems to be a love triangle that no one cares about, neither pairing is any good and the 'chemistry' is non-existent. The worst part for me is when Bimbette goes on about how the scariest part in the wizard of Oz was the realisation that there was no Oz... (oops does that count as a spoiler?) it was supposed to tell us about her as a person and all I got from it was that she was pretentious. If I could give this a minus score I would, if you want good medical drama stick to House, Casualty (a brit series), Greys Anatomy or even some old school ER.

    Dr. Alexandra Panttiere (Melissa George) is a rebellious heart surgeon in St. Matthew's Hospital. Dr. Pierce Harrison (Dave Annable) is her boyfriend. Dr. Jesse Shane (Don Hany) is her long time crush. Max is her gay ex-husband with her kids. Millicent Silvano (Shelley Conn) is her suffering boss trying to keep her out of trouble. Dr. Callahan (Jamie Kennedy) is the sleazy womanizer and nurse Ji-Sung struggles to keep from falling for him.This show tries so hard to do so many different things. It's trying too hard to be wacky. As a medical show, it has the serious side. On top of everything, it's trying desperately to be 'Grey's Anatomy'. I would prefer it does less of the silly stuff. They mostly come off as stupid. It's different from being fun. I wish the best for Melissa George but the show has saddled her with too many connected characters. It's as if the showrunners figured more is better. This could have been one more functional medical show but it's juggling with too many balls in the air.

    Irritatingly bad: cliché upon cliché.Alex Panttiere (played by Melissa George) is a cardiothoracic surgeon, and a very good one. She has just been appointed to a senior role at a major hospital. While this brings more responsibility, it does not dull her rebelliousness nor unconventional methods.Incredibly unoriginal. Every medical drama stereotype and cliché is regurgitated here, over and over and over. Dialogue makes you think every character should have been played by John Wayne, it is that over-the-top. Plot is largely implausible, contrived and predictable and and acting rather hammy. Melissa George deserves better. As for the remaining cast: I think they've found the maximum level of their abilities and careers...
