SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

javatiger54 I find Monday Mornings to be an exceptional medical drama, that is very realistic, has grit, and is also intelligent & entertaining. It is a series I certainly hope is continued.Like other posters, I too am so tired of what's on TV these days, especially the reality shows. I prefer a well written scripted show any day.This show, Monday Mornings, is a well written show, plus a real factual show, It has great story, & excellent character development.It is about time there is an adult show on TV in Prime Time. I am so tired of the networks that want to aim TV at 18 to 49 year old people only.I truly look forward to more seasons of this show!!

nowego I have been watching this show from the very beginning and it hooked me straight away, Greys Anatomy did the same thing and I have religiously watched every episode. While this is not as soapy as GA, but there are similarities that appeal to me and I would rate them both very closely.For me this is a brilliant show and I look forward to watching it each week.It seems to me to be very realistic and does not sugar coat the unfortunate side of medicine as some shows do, it is also for me very educational. I am a bit anti doctors and will question them on everything if I have the misfortune of being in a hospital, and this show seems to encourage that line of thinking.Finally I am and have been a big fan of Alfred Molina, so this may seem a biased review. He, Ving Rhames and Keoung Sim are outstanding and make me smile whenever they are on screen. The whole cast is amazing really and all put in very good performances, right down to the tiresome Lawyer played by Anthony Heald. I was so happy his character got eaten by Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs.8/10 for me, some episodes get 10/10

nazztrader If you want to watch a show that strikes all the wrong notes, this is it. In doing so, it comes across as an attempt at a Coen brothers type of thing gone horribly wrong. And it's hilarious (making it difficult to figure out what kind of rating to give it) ! If you've watched a lot of American television, the cast will strike you as a bunch of cast offs from other TV shows. Remember the old saying, "those who can't, teach?" Well this show modifies that to be "those who didn't make it on mediocre TV shows end up on 'Monday Mornings.'" On a serious note, I wish doctors were like this, at least to some degree. I watch a lot of hospital reality TV and it doesn't look anything like this. The grilling sessions that are the backbone and unique element to the show remind me of some sort of Soviet show trial, and are simply not believable. The medical "action" is either boring or has been done before, and in a superior way. The only reason I watch this (not always able to pay attention, to be honest) is to see if it will get more ridiculous, but I actually don't mind and hope that it does go in that direction.Please, see this for yourself and ask yourself if you can enjoy it as some sort of absurdist comedy, as I do. In particular, there is an ethnic stereotype that is hilarious in the form of an Asian-Americdan doctor who speaks like comedians making fun of such people decades ago, before it became "politically incorrect." This character is involved in dialogue such as:Investigator: "Why did the patient die, doctor?" Asian-American doctor: "Dude die, now dead." I: "Yes, I know that but why?" AAD: "Did dings no good, dude dead." I: "What exactly do you think he did that led to his death?" AAD: "Dude dog walk little did die." I: "Are you saying he should have taken his dog for walks to get some exercise?" AAD: "Dude do dead did dog doo doo done..."Seriously?

quantex-536-384961 This show is about shedding some light on a process that is hitherto unknown or little known to public. As Sanjay Gupta, the author of the original novel by the same name (and a NYT bestseller) pointed out in one of his interviews, "As surgeons, we spend a lot of our time educating patients. If the show is authentic, then people may learn stuff from it and become more empowered patients. They may see what happens after something goes wrong and how the hospital and the doctors deal with it. It can be very humanizing. Often times when something goes awry in a hospital, the communication completely breaks down. (Read @: http://entertainment.time.com/2013/02/04/We all visit doctors at one time or another in our lives, and most of the time, do not know what questions to raise. At least I did not. In the past 30 years, I have seen lot of changes in the medical profession. Now we have doctor's assistants, nurses, nurse's assistants and a host of others to whom we keep repeating our medical history before we actually sit down with the doctor. Dr. Wilson says the boy's father is out of the picture, which indicates that he has spoken to the mother about him. Between the two of them, the question of his medical records got lost. The point here is it is a slip up and it can happen. That is what the story is about. We need to know what all matters. Dr. Gupta said that he originally intended it to be nonfiction, but later changed it to fiction. Naturally, fiction means creating tension, some drama. This is serious stuff. I have seen comments on other sites that seem to agree with me. I for one am looking forward to other episodes. One thing I could say is the length of commercials. The breaks are too long and hurt the flow of storyline. Cutting it to half will certainly improve the flow.
