The main character, Hamza Haq, has charisma, can act, is interesting. Torri Higginson is good too and should be front and center. But the 3 main female characters (2 residents and their boss) are incredibly obnoxious, angry and bitchy all the time for no apparent reason. And the white resident doctor, Magalie (?), has a very unlikeable personality. Not sure if I will watch much more unless I learn they switch out some of those characters.
shareUpdate:
The main character is racked with guilt about things that no one in real life would feel guilty about, like that he can't bring his parents back to life.
They toned down the obnoxious white girl to be almost likeable.
The angry black woman is still angry.
The angry older female doctor has been dialed down to stern and her role scaled back. She is angry because she had to work harder in a man's world.
The grumpy boss is less grumpy, but sometimes nice.
Torri Higginson is the most realistic character, but maybe too nice for a head nurse.
It's okay.
I didn't like Mags at first either, but now she's only annoying the way all Type A personalities are annoying; a lot to take in at first but good to have on your side in a crisis. Bishop is my favorite character but that is probably because I've been a fan of John Hannah since The Mummy. Angry black doctor (June) is my least favorite tied with the sister. They are both just so angry and angst ridden. I can understand what both are going through, but only the little girl has an excuse to keep behaving this way. The grown up should deal with her problems and move on.
shareI finished the season but feel no attachment to it.
