Protraph Lack of good storyline.

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

orine-1993 I love season 1 but don't leave me hanging. Please let it be a season 2, I want to see more of Michael Holt.

ciansmum This is a decent series, but not brilliant. It's billed as a medical drama with a supernatural twist, but to be honest, the supernatural twist is barely noticeable. The "ghost" only appears about once in each episode and generally for no more than a "chat" with the doctor.All the episode follow a pretty predictable route from start to finish and the characters are very loosely built. I really struggle to "like" any of them if I'm honest because you don't get to know any of them. Add to that, that in todays money orientated world, the story lines of bringing street urchins to the multi million dollar surgery and performing multi trillion dollar operations on them for the price of a smile, are just a little too sickly and unbelievable.I had high hopes for this series, but even though it's very watchable, it is a serious disappointment..

hhoward01 This is an excellent show that keeps a person intrigued as to what is going to happen next. Dr. Holt has had his life turned upside down and is learning people skills which he has avoided all his life. The way the characters develop and every week you get a little insight into one of their lives is great; you get to know each of the characters a little better as the show goes on. You get to see that Dr. Holt truly loves his ex-wife and see that he has regrets that he didn't take the time or make the time for her. After going to her funeral and seeing what an amazing woman his wife truly was he seems to also regret that he never knew her the way he should have.I hear it has been cancelled and that truly is a shame.

pbayle3 The centerpiece of this show is Patrick Wilson. Besides being one of the most handsome men ever to step in front of a camera, he has shown real acting ability in films like Hard Candy, Lakeview Terrace, and Little Children. He has done some fine acting in this show as well, and his supporting cast does a good job as well. But that can't make up for repetitiveness and predictability. For several weeks, every episode has featured Dr. Holt saving a poor patient at the clinic and a rich patient at Holt Neuro. (I also can't help but notice the curious epidemiology of neurological conditions in this show's New York; they seem to afflict predominantly teenage daughters of overcontrolling parents.) There are two operation scenes in each episode, and they are almost interchangeable with each other and with every operation scene in every other episode. The show has failed to develop some promising themes from the pilot and the first two episodes. Its focus seems to narrow each week. Among the themes AGM could follow but hasn't yet: At the core of Dr. Holt's being is positivism. He is a deep believer in "the scientific materialist rationalism that is the unofficial religion of America's elite" (as Paul Campos put it). It might be interesting for Anna or Dr. Sykora, or a recurring patent to challenge that belief. This would take more learning and wit than the writers have displayed so far. Another tack would be to follow up on the theme hinted at by AGM's poster art and explore Dr. Holt's as illustrative of the professional white male who feels he has to bear the burden of less gifted and less dedicated folks. Clearly a very risky option. If this is not done with surgical precision, the whole cast could be consigned to the entertainment equivalent of Point Barrow, Alaska, for political reeducation. Less ambitious options include having Dr. Holt lose a patient now and then, in more ambiguous circumstances than infection by rabies or another invariably terminal illness. How about a patient who simply fails to respond, which happens all the time with skilled doctors who treat serious illnesses. Or he loses a patient at Holt Medical because he's treating a patient at the clinic. Or because another surgeon is performing the operation under his supervision. Or he's on vacation with a living girlfriend. Or he makes a mistake and gets sued. His activity at the clinic cuts into Neuro's income, so he has to choose between buying state of the art equipment and cutting staff. He gets a living girlfriend or indeed an interesting non work related friend of any kind. He does something actually or arguably irresponsible and faces down Anna's disappointment. (Like Bernard Show's Donna Anna, he could have been so much wickeder, and the show might be better for it.) Now since I am a big fan of Mr. Wilson's, I will continue to watch the show, at least until it becomes no more fun than a glioma, but I could not blame CBS for nonrenewing AGM. With all his admirable qualities and talents, Wilson has never shown the ability to put a production on "Cruise control." He will either have to do that and yank this show in a more productive direction, find someone who will, or run a big risk of losing his best opportunity to date.
