I'm 20 minutes into episode one and I'm cracking up at the "emergency" scenario presented. There are some huge cultural oddities like a random dude doing medical procedures on somebody and the cops not tackling his butt. Mr cool is so busy being cool doc that he's chit chatting and teaching class during the "emergency" I mean I know the show needs to allow for drama but this stretches the imagination a bit and has me laughing. I think I'm used to American medical shows that really make you feel the seconds of an emergency, this one here has us being told there's an emergency while we SEE everyone missing the sense of urgency a real emergency situation presents. That kind of disconnect on a show that wants to be taken seriously is funny to me.

Hopefully it'll get better.

I worried this wouldn't top the original Hebrew version. I am so glad to be wrong, I get all the same fuzzies and feels I got before and it's just different enough being a different culture n all and with the newer social references that I almost forgot it was a remake. At any rate I'm only thinking of the other version because I'm gonna need a fix as I impatiently wait for next weeks instalment. Thumbs up guys!

Oh and hopefully this one will make it past two seasons... the other version left an unforgivable cliffhanger

But five minutes in after salivating over the bbq scenes, I'm disgusted by the profanity in the dialog and soundtrack. Maybe this is how people talk and maybe this is the popular music, but not in my circle and I don't raise my children to think it's okay. So I am disappointed, other than that the movie looks well made and of an interesting topic. Hopefully someone will write a thorough synopsis.
