Burn Notice Medical Edition

Category: By Johann

Royal Pains centers on a doctor who got fired from a hospital in New York for failing to prioritize the saving of a billionaire's life to attend to a dying teenager. The doctor gets depressed and loses everything he has until his brother encourages him to spend the weekend in The Hamptons where he gets a clientele that will help him rebuild his life.

Having watched the first two episodes, this show is very entertaining. Though the main character sounds too idealistic, the people around him and the situations that he found himself in made it very interesting. It also doesn't hurt that the show was filmed in a community for the filthy rich, showcasing the ridiculously grand mansions one could only dream of owning.

The US television shows that I am currently watching are Burn Notice, Weeds, and this show. That's time well spent.

    I thought the pilot was some great fun. Granted, it had some flaws (the beginning took too long) but for a first run, I think it’s promising. I like the ‘lightness’ of this show. With so much reality tv, it’s good to have a show that is just sort of a drama/comedy fantasy and can push a storyline across without having to force laugh out loud physical comedy moments or ultra serious drama.

    I also loved that they used the song “Ain’t No Love in the Club” by Wylde Bunch when Hank and Evan arrive at Boris’ castle - it’s my current favorite dance track and I was pleasantly surprised to hear it.

Something to say?
