Unlike a previous reviewer, I do find the show believable. Can all the events that the main character experienced happen to a real person (his daughter died the previous year, he's taking a dying squirrel to the vet when he witnesses a gang shooting and then assists in saving the victim. In the process he has to shoot a gang member driving at him to run his victim down, the gang looks for an opportunity to finish of the victim at the hospital (less likely), the victim's father threatens the doctor to do something which the doctor does out of concern for his patient (the shooting victim), etc.)? Yes, kind of. Is it likely? Not really, but this is TV. It's a hell of a lot more believable than so many other TV shows currently out now that are really popular. More to the point, I find myself rooting for this doctor against all these odds. He's heroic in a world lacking heroes. It's a good message and good TV. I originally approached it with the opinion that this, like so many other new TV series, was going to be one that I would summarily 86 after the 1st episode. Not so. Not at all.
Excellent cast, especially Jason O'Mara. Can't think of a better actor for this role. I think he's even better than in "Life on Mars".\
Really, watch it. You won't be disappointed.
score 10/10
