Complications (2015)
Mob Doctor strikes back
23 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I'm an MD so I'm always skeptical about medical dramas. Although some medical adviser is always present nowadays, it's difficult not to notice that these people aren't actual doctors and nurses. It's the deliverance, the "aura"...

Anyway this isn't a medical drama per se. It reminds me of another series (now canceled, yet with a satisfactory series finale) The Mob Doctor.

This is about a semi-delusional ER doctor who, after a gang-related incident, find himself (and his family) trapped in war that he didn't asked for. Yet this "adrenaline-rush" seems to be doing him some good. Feeling more alive maybe, especially after a loss that he suffered (his daughter died recently from cancer).

I don't really find anything bad with Complications. Maybe it feels a little short, but it has time to evolve into something better.

Jason O'Mara tries to fit the role but he lacks a broad range of facial expressions, so his acting is a little bit stale.

Overall: Will see. I'm giving to it a chance, for now.

P. S. +1 for using "medical" terms as titles for each episode.
