St. Denis Medical

It's nowhere near on par with "The Office" or "Parks and Rec" (nothing ever will be), but it's got some laugh out loud moments. It reminds me a lot of Superstore, although that could be because half the cast came from that show. I can see how it's not for everyone, but it's definitely a lot better than most of the comedies I've seen released in the last few years. As one of the other reviews said, the comedic style is a bit more like the characters are cracking jokes with each other than trying to make the audience laugh. But there were some funny enough moments to make up for that, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes!

Only 6 episodes out so far, but so far so good! It very much feels like a spiritual successor to the tried and true workplace mockumentary shows like the office and parks and rec while still feeling original in its jokes and characters. The characters here are likable, distinct, and well developed. The humor rides a nice line of not always playing it safe while not going overboard to be intentionally offense. Great shows like the aforementioned office and parks and rec had relatively rough starts. St Denis seems to have hit the ground at least "jogging" if not totally running, and I think it's lead up to a very promising start to the type of sitcom many people (including me) love. I'm looking forward to more!

The show has great potential to be a hit. We have so few comedies on television today. It's nice and refreshing to see them on network television. Wendy McLendon-Covey is perfect in her role as the head director at St. Denis Medical Center in Oregon. Alison Tolman is effecetive as a nurse supervisor who has a family. Her character seems to be overly involved and so dedicated that she has trouble leaving to see her daughter perform in her school's Mamma Mia. David Alan Grier is fine here as a long term veteran doctor. There are some familiar faces here. I did enjoy the first two episodes and hope to see the rest.

Don't give up in the show. It's the best sitcom on NBC right now and that's not saying much. I would rather have more sitcoms than crime dramas.

I am impressed. It's well written, acted, & funny. I like how they handled current issues like reviews and "fat shaming" in the medical field. I'm especially happy to see Dr. Ron's character and nurse Alex is great opposite him. I do wish that nurse Matt wasn't so ridiculous though. He was home schooled, is from a small town, & is religious which you can see but he's a bit too dumb & clueless too often. This shifts things from real life & funny to silly which I think doesn't work as well for this show. Even with the nursing shortage & standards lowering no one would want him as an RN! Still, I look forward to this show.

Two episodes in, St. Denis Medical already feels like it's on the path to becoming one of the all-time greats, much like The Office. While the latter took its time to find its groove, we all know the heights it reached, and St. Denis Medical carries that same potential.

What stands out is how it mirrors the workplace humor and absurdity of The Office, but in a fresh, quirky medical setting. The characters, although still unfolding, hint at a dynamic chemistry that could become iconic. The humor feels sharp, relatable, and laden with just the right amount of awkwardness-a hallmark of great workplace comedies.

If you're a fan of shows that build a strong ensemble cast and weave comedy through everyday chaos, this is the series to watch. It's shaping up to be a unique yet familiar addition to the genre, and I, for one, am excited to see where it goes!

St. Denis Medical might just be the prescription for laughter we all need.
