That was pretty nice compared to some of the things I’ve said about the show.

Yeah. And me too. :oops:

Have you read the IMDb reviews? I thought I was harsh... :shock:

I think about 15 % gave it a somewhat good review, the rest are mostly slaughter.
Sickening slaughter, IMO! :tchuh:

Wow - those comments were scathing!!!! But I have to say I agree with a lot of them. I didn’t agree with the ones that said the acting was all bad - for the most part I think the acting was good. But the characters were horribly written, unbelievable and not at all likable (except for Lex and Caleb).

I think some of the IMDb reviews blamed the actors for the bad premise and writing.

There were times (namely, when Lex was being deceitful, and Caleb such a wimp), that I wouldn’t have given the time of day to either one of them!

Yes they had their moments too - but overall they were the best of a sorry lot!

It's quite the achievement making a TV series without one likable character.... :roll:

Well, I'm a bit relieved that I am not the only one who had their doubts about the series. I watched one episode and was so turned off by the weird father-daughter toxic relationship, that I couldn't even finish watching it. All I could think of was that if he was that horrible of a father, that I wouldn't want him to be my doctor. Jason does look good in scrubs though...

I hear you...
In the beginning, I tried to hold back, because I didn't want to upset any members here that maybe liked it But then I realised I wasn't alone... :mrgreen:
