Chicago Med

This possibly could be my last season watching this show. It started out good however it is getting to be more like a soap opera than a medical drama. This is the same reason why I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy. I personally like medical programs to have more medicine than romantic melodrama. This is Us is also way too melodramatic.

It's a good watch, not quite ER standards. One annoying point is the terrible South African accent of the character Ava Bekker. It's incredibly fake.

There are a number of actors like Oliver Platt, not handsome but so engaging. He has a wonderful delivery and I started watching Chicago Med only because he has a significant role in the series. Otherwise it's just a medical procedural with endless churn of patients and pretty actors to provide the drama.

Oliver is the quiet moment in the midst of the storm. Great casting decision.

I read other reviews slamming the show and everyone has a right to their opinion. My thought is, if you don't like it, don't watch it. I personally enjoy it, along with the Chicago franchise (Fire&PD). The crossover events are especially fun to watch. Is the use of accurate information on medication always correct? I can't say as I am not a doctor. I watch it because I like the characters and the stories. I'm sure there could be improvements, as with most tv. But this is not a documentary, its meant for entertainment. At least the characters have back stories. Lives outside the hospital. Dick Wolf has smartly created a network of series that all intermingle and its interesting to see how the New York shows come into play with the Chicago shows. So, just try it. And I don't mean to offend but to say it's like a soap opera is kinda funny to me because what is Grey's if not a soap? Most medical dramas have an element of such as well as miraculous cures at the end of the hour.

Can we PLEEEAASE have a medical drama where doctors do exactly what they are told to do?? I am glad that Halstead and Manning are gone, and have taken their rules-be-damned, cowboy (or -girl) mentality with them.

How many times do we have to watch any given medical "professional" try to impose their personal agenda, skirt the rules, stomp on protocol and give Sharon Goodwin no shortage of headaches? I worked for two years in a medium-sized ER department and never saw any of this ridiculousness ever occur. But I suppose without this selfishness there would be no drama in this drama. Am I right?
