As am I.
I find hospital shows ste. And I only started watching this because it had the wife from the Sopranos.
and...it's rather good, has kept me watching anyway, not sure why the last show was 30 mins when the first 3 were 60 tho:S

Also has that nasty CIA type from the early series of 24.

I watched this on iplayer, and nearly physically PMSL when the boss woman tazered herself in the lift. Great comedy.

I have only caught little parts of it recently. It seems quite good, genuinly funny in places.

The only niggle i have is i can't help but hear (in my head) Jackie Stallone shouting 'Its me Jackie'.

Very entertaining in a gritty way, much the way The Wire was compared to other cop shows.

Can't help but think that the drug abuse etc really does go on.

I had a mate who was a student doc. He used to use all sorts. ONce tried anaesthetic on his knob to allow him not to come for a long time when he was nobbing his gf's mum.

Lost interest about 5 episodes in. Was funny at first but just got boring.

Saw 1st ep, goo, missed 2nd but the 3rd ep was very good, the characters are well rounded, this is good enough to be on Atlantic.biggrin
