I am gobsmacked at how locked in this show is. They break away from the procedural model really quickly while establishing an ensemble cast, referencing other classic hospital shows, and carving out their own path. The most curious part for me is how conservative the shows aesthetics are; the content is so left-leaning that this feels contradictory, but I think that is probably because the show is really center left, more than anything else. Zachary Quinto is still so nice to look at.

    No shade — we don’t know these characters well enough for all this.

  • E14 · The Invisible ManFeb 5, 2026
  • E15 · The Missing PersonMay 29, 2026

    I’m leaning into the comedy of how this show was handled. I really think if they had gotten to this part of the narrative sooner we might have a forthcoming season.

    We really needed to be here earlier in the season…

    Oh, so now they want to bring back the Nichols we knew? Keep him!
