Rush

I started watching this program because it came on before Satisfaction. The good news it is I like it much better. At first I was upset a doctor could do this. Be a drug addict. My daughter is a doctor and I am a nurse. After watching this program, I realized it was just great drama. It is the writing that is great. It moves fast and the plot keeps going. The characters are clear on who they are without confusion. It involves some humor at times. It is close to what life is. How people get messed up. This is for real.. In the real world people do this kind of crap. I have seem it myself in the 30 years of nursing. It is better than Grays Anatomy. Not just pretty people and made up unbelievable situations. I can see some of this happening. Keep up the good work. I do hope they keep this program going. They should drop the satisfaction if they need space for a program.. It is so slow and poor writing. You can tell this writer has some experience about these types of situations. Keep up the good work... WB

I love Tom Ellis from watching Lucifer and that's how I stumbled on this show by searching for more of his shows. The characters, Lucifer and Rush, have some similarities and just enjoyable to watch. Wish there was more of Rush to watch. Love you Tom!

I'm sad they canceled it. Good characters, plot line, and acting in my opinion. It seems to have enough love, sex, and intrigue to please everybody. I can't understand what's not to like. There's the tension with his father and stepmother. Then there's his love interest as well as his protégé/assistant for strong female characters. There's also his best friend, the ER doctor, who sometimes acts as his moral compass. Finally, his patients are the rich & famous who have a reason for not wanting mainstream medical care. It all combines for a fascinating storyline in my opinion. Definitely better than Royal Pains. Lastly, the website has a real problem recognizing when ten lines has been entered and a complete, descriptive review has been entered.

I hated this show when I first watched it. I thought it was shallow with a very unlikable lead; someone doing drugs and behaving in an immature and self-destructive manner is not new or interesting. I stuck with it, however, to see what direction it would go in, and am happy to say that it improved. As we gained more background knowledge of the characters and the stories focused less on the "bad boy" behaviour, it started to pull me in. There is good chemistry between the characters, except for Sarah, who remains one-dimensional.

I used to love House and really don't see the comparison, so should you decide to view this show, don't compare, just treat it for what it is, light entertainment. And give it a chance, it does improve.

I have seen Tom Ellis is other things, comedy/drama, and have always thought he could go places, and deserved to go places. I have to admit I am a fan of his which makes me biased. I have read the other reviews and cannot understand why anyone would comment on his bad behaviour. It's his bad behaviour that makes his character, we are watching a doctor disillusioned by the way he has been treated and who then takes his actions into his own hands. He has a conscience, but he keeps it under lock and key, he helps people even if he doesn't want to, his humanity is still there. I like Rush as a character. People seem to think if you are a doctor you do it out of the goodness of your heart and helping is a calling. That is obviously true in some cases, and maybe with Rush at one time as well, but a great percentage do it for the money. Let's see how he develops, I just hope he doesn't turn into some do gooder.
