Doc

Dr. Amy Wolcott's miraculous recovery from a crash that erased eight years of memories but left her physically unscathed stretches medical credibility beyond repair. The show's premise - that a trauma severe enough to cause such specific retrograde amnesia wouldn't result in serious physical injuries or brain damage - is neuroscience fantasy at its most egregious. Watching her confidently stride hospital halls arguing for her right to practice medicine - while apparently suffering no cognitive deficits beyond the convenient plot-serving memory gap - feels like watching a medical drama written by someone whose only research was reading soap opera summaries. The show sacrifices scientific plausibility for dramatic convenience, undermining its own attempts at serious storytelling.

I just finished the first 6 episodes, and once you get past the fact that the main character suffers a traumatic brain injury and is asking to return to work the next day, it's actually a great show. I think the reason it works is because Dr. Larson was a closed off b-word before the accident and each episode we get to see through flashbacks the difference in her character.

I especially like the relationship between her and her best friend. Overall, the backstory with her family explains how she became the way she was before her accident. The antagonist characters feel more like flawed people who really aren't bad so they aren't one dimensional, which leaves room for growth.

I know it's supposed to be a medical drama but it's the relationships and even the patients and their family that make this a compelling series. I'm a nurse and the medical inaccuracies don't bother me as much since the real story is about the character's reactions to the medical mystery. The show does a great job of getting you to care about the characters.

I hope it sticks around; it's been a long time since I've liked a medical drama.

Just finished watching the series. My wife and I loved it and were thrilled to see that it landed a second season. DOC doesn't try to be something it isn't. It's a strong medical drama that asks the question, what would you do if you had a second chance? The acting and writing are strong all around, and most importantly, it's entertaining. The emotional depth and character development really stand out, making it easy to connect with the characters. Each episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, blending personal struggles with medical challenges. If you enjoy heartfelt, thought-provoking dramas, this one is a must-watch!

I think this is a very well-acted and enjoyable show to watch so far. Please keep it on the air and give it a chance. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. 😔 So far the story lines are not too overly complicated to follow, which is good when you're watching TV at night. What's appealing about show is that it gives people a chance to know that they can have a "redo" moment in their lives. It's a TV show about self-reflection in what we can do to improve upon ourselves. The lead character in the show unfortunately got into a car wreck, but if we all had the opportunity to re-examine our lives it would be a wonderful thing.

First, I think Amy and Jake together is not even believable. It's like he's dating his mother. I don't think, attractiveness-wise, they remotely go together. What I'm saying is, he's way better looking than she is. I do like the story of the show. It's interesting and I do keep watching to see what's going to happen next and I enjoy the medical issues presented and how they deal with them and the patients. I don't think it's remotely a "10" TV series and especially not a "10" medical TV series, but it's good enough to watch each week and it has hooked me, which is necessary for me to continue past the first episode.
