I have heard tons of buzz about this show, but my schedule never gave me a chance to see it.
Well NOW, I have seen last and this week's episodes and all I can say is it is Different.
First off, the operating room sequences are so damn disgusting, (and I have a strong stomach), that I damn near hurled, and BTW, both times I was EATING while watching the show.
2nd, it's like creating a show soley around Darth Vader or Adolph Hitler with no sympathetic or likable figures to off set the bad guys...
who in this case, the villains ARE the stars.
Christian (Jullian McMahon) and the other guy whose name I forget played by (Dylan Walsh) are the 2 most despicable, hedonistic, nihilistic, womanizing, (cheating on their wives with hookers, menages, transvestites, etc), they have nothing but rancor for their own patients.
Damn...I was GLAD the psycho killer The Carver tried to kill Christian. Geez.
Any thoughts. Not really my cup of tea.
I didn't really like it. I found nothing grotesque about the surgery scenes, just like in Grey's Anatomy
Plus an Australian playing an American doesn't cut it for me.
