I loved Billy Bob. John Hamm is excellent, also.
The daughter, the ex wife/mother, and the room mates who can't seem to control themselves around the daughter. Yeeble! Totally and completely unnecessary for the show. They add nothing, as everyone else has said.
I'm not sure what part of the organ the room-mates are supposed to be playing, either. They just seem to be there as patsies for the exhibitionist daughter.
The son seems to be a clueless no-hoper for someone who grew up around the oil business. His saving grace is that he can't stand his sister. So, maybe he has one clue.
Once again as someone else said, I'd give this a solid 8.5, but the two, no make that three (the lawyer is a pain in the arse, too), women take a star off each.

Clearly whoever wrote this had NEVER set foot on any kind of station in Australia. It was all very green and lush and paved driveways and roads. No.
Then we have a caravan parked in the middle of nowhere with all the windows open, a helicopter hovering overhead and zero dust? Sure. Oh, and chick from caravan calls dude in helicopter on their mobiles?!? Ummm... No, again.
Dad telling the musterers that he's not going to honour the contract made by the son (and manager of the station), who has died. Yeah, right.
Dead son killed by dingoes. Unlikely in the extreme. But the body is barely touched. Ffs!!!!
What a load of twaddle.

So, I've never watched this show until now (2024). I saw a few shorts of it and it looked interesting. Now that I've watched a few episodes, I'm a bit confused about all the hype.
This is so embarrassingly formulaic. Here's the breakdown: Person gets admitted to hospital with something Doctors misdiagnose Patient gets worse Doctors have meeting always with whitboard in use Patient has a seizure and must be defibrillator Patient goes into coma Doctors are still confused Parents/guardian/friends put pressure on and/or want to move patient Doctors try something else (unsuccessful) In the meantime, patient has had more blood and tissue taken than a grave robber Lots of "testing" in the lab and/or fossicking around the patient's home Eventually, the doctors stumble on the cure.
Most of the time, I've guessed the cause and/or ending half way through the episode.
There are no spoilers because EVERY episode is EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!
Oh, and no mention of the lifetime of debt for the patient and their families to pay for tests, ICU, 4 specialist doctors, umpteen days in hospital, medications, procedures yada, yada, yada, as this all takes place in a US hospital.
