Fresh off the train from the idyllic Everwood, he&#8217;s back to being full-time surgeon in an organ transplant specialising hospital. And of course, would we dare call this a drama without the mandatory neglected kid. Throw in an ex-wife who happens to be one of your closest colleague (organ donor liaison), and let the doc frolic around with a nurse. Enough drama for you ?<br \/>\nI can tell you, it&#8217;s not. Drama comes from the dying patient, and the joyous recepient. Which means, another fresh case every week. Personal drama is just a side note, inconsistent and and usually just put in to add something to the patient story. There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any follow up at all, and even then, it would probably be one-dimensional. Throwing in a &#8220;I see dead people&#8221; thing for the main character, is another weakness, as for the past few years, I can name five shows that already have done that (Haunted, Ghost Whisperer, Raines, Medium, Tru Calling. I.E. IT&#8217;S GETTING OLD !!!).<br \/>\nAnd lastly, with such a title, this show is particularly cold. Here&#8217;s one for a speedy return of Grey&#8217;s Anatomy, and hoping the spin-off, Private Practice, will deliver (and even if it doesn&#8217;t, Grey will continue to dominate Thursday night anyways).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new medical drama airing on TNT, starring Treat Williams in yet another &#8220;doctor&#8221; role.
