Maybe I'm just spoiled by ER, but I can't get behind this show. It's on my "watch at 2x speed" list because I like Chicago Fire and can do more than tolerate Chicago P.D. I think it's that I don't like "shiny" medical shows. It's polish and staging for a place that's supposed to busy, bleak, and dramatic without the weak redundant kinds of plots and arguments between the doctors and administration. All of the Chicago shows dip into soapy scenarios, but Med feels the most inauthentic. I still can't bring myself to remembering the character names (as opposed to one time nailing without hesitation a Sporcle quiz related to ER's...for context) Given that I rarely have adequate words to critique "acting" as the general catch-all for appearing on screen, perhaps there's something lacking there as well in me being unable to parse out true personalities. Watching dreary-eyed white coats have the same fight over and over won't do it for me.

chicago med is indeed trash .i miss the resident

I have mixed feelings about this show. I really liked the inclusion of medical students as main characters. Each episode was interesting and the relationship drama among the characters kept me engaged. It’s difficult to pinpoint why parts of it bothered me. I think it can be borderline laughably unrealistic and dramatic at times, which drew me away. It was entertaining though and I finished it really quickly.
