...is that they don't put their money where their mouth is and have a lead character played by a racial minority person. Inserting people of color in some of their recent productions is just too obviously done because they have to stick a minority in there somewhere or they will feel the trendy white guilt. It is an insult to anyone with a logical and realistic brain cell in their head why they do this. And although I am sure the minority actors are very happy to have the roles and the money and the exposure, you would think they would feel somewhat put out because they are being used to be tokens of political correctness not because of their talents.

I'm surprised the producers of this show allowed the word "Christmas" to be used in the title. Wasn't that a little anti-PC? Can't wait for their adaption of Gone With the Wind, with Rhett Butler's character as a metrosexual fop and Scarlet O'Hara a slave. Oh, well, at least it gave them a chance to show a woman's bare bottom, which, by the way, seems to be one of the very things the Me Too movement would find appalling, wouldn't they? I can just picture a bunch of white male producers, directors and cameramen leering and drooling over a black woman's rear end, enticing the actress with the role and a paycheck.

To be honest I have only watched several partial episodes of this schlock because my friend called my attention to it ridiculousness. The unfocused eyes and holding a cup with two hands to drink is the extent of the actor's portrayal of someone who in real life would never be a doctor, much less a surgeon. Now I see in previews they have introduced sex into the storyline. I saw a little of that, and it seemed almost like the woman was a sex worker or abuser, I couldn't tell which. Honestly, who would be attracted to this doctor character? Come on! Like other reviewers, I am astounded at all the five star ratings. It is a horrible show.
