Excellent pilot, full of pace and energy that leaps off the page. Starts with a great scene - an operation where everyone is joking around then the surgeon accidentally kills the patient. This surgeon is the nemesis for the leads - he has a track record of being incompetent but is also the face of the hospital. This sort of conflict was fresh to me... though I did wonder and what sort of legs the show would have. Is he going to kill people every week?
The support characters are clearly defined. The lead guy was a bit of a bully - I hate that "you know nothing" speech he gave to the newbie. The show defends him by the nurse - who's hot for him - going "oh he's brilliant" and he's shown to be brilliant but he's still a bully. This I found unpleasant especially as the show glamorises him in other respects (super studly, a genius doctor, an enemy to the doctor who kills).
Memorable ending where someone's life support is turned off.
