None of the big medical shows on television has succeeded in gaining my serious interest ― until now. I love this show. And what is most astonishing about it is that the grubby, surly, sarcastic, and extremely American main character is played by Hugh Laurie, who played Bertie Wooster in the Jeeves and Wooster, and many hilarious characters in the Blackadder series. Laurie’s American voice and manner are completely convincing. The series assumes the audience has a reasonable knowledge of medicine and physiology, and tackles hard issues without slipping into the tiresome evasiveness that American TV shows usually get into when faced with real problems. In this show, people decide things. Many thanks to Isaac White for bringing over four episodes of this show.
