    Remedy is not one of those classic hospital drama shows like "Grey Anatomy" or "ER". It doesn't contain a lot of dumb relationship drama. It has real heart to it. I love the family aspect to the show how pretty much the entire family works in the hospital together. It makes for interesting and complex story lines. The actors are amazing too. In the second half season 2 of Remedy Dillion Casey brings a lot of emotional turmoil to the family and he does it extremely well. Enrico Colantoni playing Allen Connor is super funny with some of the one liners he says but he is also a dad who truly cares about his kids.Sarah Allen and Sara Canning are all amazing and bring a lot to their characters. Im really sad and disappointed that Remedy got cancelled I would alway look forward to every Monday when it was on.

    I thought another medical show? But wanted to give it a shot because it had the moving and powerful Enrico Colantoni (FlashPoint, Veronica Mars, Just Shoot Me). So i dived in right from the first episode. And I knew right away it was not just another medical show. I mean it has some incredibly wickedly real medical scenes that will sometimes leave you ugh, but its because they are done so well.It centres around the Conner family and those that happen to get involved in their lives. While Enrico Colantoni (as Dr Allen Conner), Sarah Allen (Nurse Sandy Conner), Sara Canning (Dr Mel Conner ) and Dillon Casey ( Griffin Conner, Porter hoping to be Dr) are the stars of the show and do a magnificently brilliant job episode after episode, I could not continue to watch without the supporting cast that is around them. I got hooked on the characters of Josey the Clown , "Sassy" Nurse Patel, Zoe, Kanaskie and Jerry. They balanced the Conners out, brought them back to reality so to speak.The story lines were brilliant! The stories were often relatable to things that were going on in my own life and I found myself using Kleenex quite often while watching. I say great writing, great directing & great acting make quality TV. Remedy has all.I am saddened to know I will have to dream about whether Griffin will make it, whether Mel will stay with Dr Culter or go back to Jerry & whether Zoe & Griffin can find their way back to each other. I needed and wanted more of Remedy , I hope you can take a look at both season 1 & 2...especially season 2 and tell me whether you agree that Dillon Casey deserves a nomination for his portrayal of Griffin. If I had it in my power, Remedy would be going on for season after season...yes I think its that good! thank you Remedy for being in my life :)

    Ah, Remedy. It killed me to bid farewell to a well-written and well-cast Canadian television program. The drama/comedy gave me hope that there was a bright future for Canadian television. I went in thinking it'd be like Grey's Anatomy (not a fan), but came out pleasantly surprised and as a full fledged fan. Each episode was based on a true story, which I really appreciate. There's nothing better than when a TV show is relatable. Also, I feel that its family dynamic is responsible for the cult following. If you are not yet aware of the plot, Remedy follows a family that works in a big-city hospital (filmed in Toronto and Hamilton). You have the prodigal son who was lost, found, and then lost again in the downstairs of the hospital, while his two sisters and father work upstairs making and cleaning up messes of their own. It doesn't get realer than that. The show itself wasn't the only thing I loved. The social media team made a point of interacting with all of Remedy's viewers and fans. Each week they hosted a live-tweet. I cannot count how many times my tweets were favourited and retweeted. They are also very supportive of members of the press. As a host and writer who interviewed a couple of Remedy's cast members, I was connected with other writers and hosts via a #FollowFriday shoutout. It is very unfortunate that the show was cancelled after only 2 seasons. I hope that Global will reconsider its decision or that Remedy will relaunch digitally.

    This is the ugliest family put together since the Manson's hit the dessert. The one daughter keeps trying to kill people on the table. Dad uses blackmail to keep a drug addict that has proved incompetent employed at the hospital. The mother is a pizztank and the son is a tweaker. The other daughter left needles where a worker could get HIV from it and then the family covered it up. They use relationships like a shirt. They pull it on in the morning and dump it in the hamper at night. No one seems to be able to escape their unholy clutches. People are trapped like rabbits in the headlights. The entire family uses their friends like dirt. I am not a coward but I shudder now every time I see a hospital. I wonder if it could be harbouring a crazed bunch of home grown incompetent narcissist lunatic users like Remedy has for staff. This should be on the horror network.
