The Mob Doctor Audience Reviews

Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Maniac-9 The Mob Doctor is a show I was looking forward to over the summer but it died out quickly with me once it premiered. I really didn't care what happened to any of the characters.Jordana Spiro I like in certain roles like her in My Boys but it just doesn't really ring true as her playing a medical resident being forced to do back alley medical procedures on some mafioso's.In the pilot episode they had Michael Rapaport as a mob guy who isn't believable as an Italian character in any way at all.It's a show that might work better as a made for TV movie then an actual TV show itself.
Pudgycat There's not to many shows out there my son and I like watching together but the mob doctor was one of them. I was very disappointed when I heard they were canceling it. We don't like or watch reality shows and it seems like that's all that's out there. It seems that way anyway. My son also developed a crush on Dr. Devlin. It seems this series has a little of everything. Medicine, drama, love,family & criminal activity. Not to mention conflict in the workplace (hospital) What does it take for a show to make it? I wish I could get an answer to that question I would of like to see Franco and Grace make it as a couple and Constantine brought to justice There's never enough time.
ozfan-1 I am enjoying this show and it fills in the Fox Broadcasting hole that was left by the departure of House. The dilemmas Grace must face to fulfill her debt to the mob, stay under hospital radar when she needs to use their equipment and also follow her conscience to her oath as a doctor put her in some tough situations. Does she kill a mobster on orders from the people she owes? How does she fix up the guy that she knows just caused a family great pain and anguish and still live with herself? Grace faces all this and more. The show is gaining an audience in the 3 or so weeks it has aired. The cast is good and the show is well done. The premise is interesting and plot twists are not always expected.Check out my blog on Blogspot called Tales of Television for more reviews
bayardhiler When I first heard about this show, I'll admit that I was a little skeptical about the show being any good. Never the less, I figured that at least the show had a somewhat original premise. Why not check it out? Well, it turns out, I should have listened to the skeptical instincts because this show is ridiculous. It follows the story of a young and intelligent surgeon (played by Jordana Spiro) who it turns out, also is forced to take side jobs for you know who in order to pay off the debt of her brother. The idea does sound interesting, but unfortunately is not executed well. Why should she be the one who is paying off the debt when she is not the one who owes them? Maybe if the mob payed her medical school tuition, then it would make sense. Also, the producers have clearly never read up on the mob. Case in point, in the pilot, the young doctor is ordered to kill a patient she will be operating on because he his a turncoat. Now stop right there. As someone who has read a lot about the mob and organized crime in general, I can tell you that the mob would never, ever, ever, ever send someone who has never killed before to do such an important hit. Never. Even if the target was in a hospital and under guard, they would not do that. The reason should be obvious; the person is not a stone, cold killer and would likely not be able to go through with it. Also, the mob has had some pretty ingenious ways to kill someone (just read up on Richard Kuklinski and you'll see what I mean) that they would probably try first. I may watch the second episode to see if the show gets better, but I doubt that it will. At this stage, I recommend that you pass on "The Mob Doctor".
