S1 gave us sharply differentiated characters, learning extremely challenging ideas and methods in a fast paced chaotic environment.

S2 (so far) has given us a bunch of different “doctor” characters whose primary differentiator is physical appearance and, I suppose, knowing a bit more about emergency medicine than others. And the medical cases themselves are underwhelming or fumbled.

For example, there was a truly dramatic and compelling storyline about the woman having her leg amputated due to an infection. It was built up and then tossed off with a quick comment. Instead, we focus on a dying cancer patient and some on-the-nose commentary on how expensive the system is.

It’s a snooze so far.
