My favourite show of the week (it's a tie with Utopia). Alright, I'm a sucker for beautiful women, especially, beautiful women who can play character roles. There is a separate review that wants to critique the hospital procedures. Me, I'm just gobsmacked to see innards exposed and organs such as a beating heart exposed and held in a surgeon's hands. The storyline is emotionally draining, so my wife won't watch it. Me, I'm captivated by the emotional demands put on the viewer by both the life and death decisions being made daily in the hospital and the career-changing political undercurrents. It's an aptly named series. My pulse quickens in response to both the beauty and stresses laid bare.

Love it. One of three TV shows worth my time each week. As John Grisham has written "courtrooms are where the drama is". I like the light comic touches - for me TV drama is escapism. I like the twists in the tales - kudos to the script writers! Oh and, of course, I'm enchanted by Claudia Karvan's character, Josephine.
