Tetrady not as good as all the hype

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.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

alv790 I have just watched the first chapter, but since I'm not going to continue watching I'll tell you my opinion.I was expecting a bit more of this show, with such a sensitive subject matter. However, I felt they went the easy way. They made it a rather conventional teen drama. The characters were too stereotypical, did not seem real to me. Except for the tough but golden hearted nurse (see? another stereotype), who did a good job. Then there were the absurd situations. Like the horny teenage kid who runs around without difficulties but asks the young nurse to give him a sponge bath, and she just does (OK, let's accept she is very naive and does not notice the obvious motivation, but does she just do whatever procedure a patient asks for without instructions from their superiors? does she have so much free time during her shift?). Or like the cheerleader whose roommate is a boy (yeah, he is in a coma, but still, people get roommates of the same sex). Or the doctor discussing with the cheerleader's parents her difficult prospects right by her room where she can easily hear. I could go on, but you get the idea. This is a TV show, I don't expect too much realism, but so many absurd details make it difficult for me to suspend disbelief and makes me think the writers are not even trying too hard.Their idea of making these kids act like "real" kids is to have them smoking marijuana, taking a doctor's car without permission and buying alcohol, but it felt forced, like they were trying too hard. They did not seem real to me. Because of that, the emotional scene in the roof felt unearned, particularly considering that some of the kids there had just arrived and did not really know the others.With me talking about the flaws all the time, you might get the impression that I hated it. It's not that bad, however. There are hints that they want to develop the characters from those stereotypes, there are still emotional moments that rang true, like the conversation between Leo and Jordi when they were in bed the night before Jordi's operation... I kind of would like to follow some of these characters and see what happens, but there are so many good shows to watch that I don't think I will.

Chesty La Rue This was awful show, it tried to combined the sappy crap from glee with the hackyness of the fault of our stars. It was bad like really bad, the precious 15yr old fans with their tumblrs and taylor swift posters were doing everything to keep this piece of fecal matter above water but they failed. hahaFirst it's a bunch of teens living in a hospital/5 star resort. they Dr. Mcdreamy Jack McAndrew where you KNOW they will have an episode where some fat ugly girl throws herself at him. Then octiva just yells at people like some she is on crazy pills.The teens are so one dimensional and terrible at acting, they just throw side comments and wear try and "act nerdy/cool/deep" the show is just painfully written, this some of the worst writing I have ever seen on television, thumbed me down all you want it's not going to bring back this steaming pile of fecal matter. didn't like my review? does it matter? Did you read it? you did read it, so I wasted your time.Me: 1 Red band society fans: 0 Eat it.

padmapeg What an unexpected treasure! In a world of lowest common denominator television, this show has surprised me with the quality of writing, acting and stories that capture the complexity of life. Laid on the foundation of life in a long term care ward, these stories go quickly into matters that matter...life, death, relationship, meaning, our own relevance as human beings.The writers seem to have clear insight into the inner life of teens; while many teen shows still stay in the Miley Cyrus era of smart mouth conversation or more superficial focuses, Red Band takes us deeper. There's something about having a boy in a coma offering us a wiser view from the near heavenly realms, teens who are multi-faceted in their strengths and vulnerabilities, and a likable cast who all seem to have heart and soul, contradictory motivations, and complexity, that places this show heads and shoulders above the rest.As an over-40 year old viewer, I find the dramas and the ways in which they are expressed in each show compelling. The things these teens wrestle with... am I REALLY OK...am I acceptable...lovable... do I fit in, are the same issues that drive much adult behavior. Only in this show, they are refreshingly transparent and somehow find the middle ground between sappy and satirical. Fox, for the first time in quite awhile, i am engaged with a show and a cast. Please keep this show! And please market it better... I think you'd have a LOT more fans if people actually saw commercials that captured the essence of the show.

drpeel Boring! I didn't even finish watching the Pilot. If I wished to throw away my time then this would be my choice, but the bad thing is I already blew away 30 minutes before turning it off.The jokes are old with a new environment and it involves the same inane, slanderous, stereotyping that all other sitcoms have, hoping to appease the audience of morons. Unfortunately that is where they will succeed, but I don't think this show will last past one season.When will writers be original instead of re-inventing the wheel?Good luck to the writers when they are looking for another job after this show bombs.
