The terrific thing about the new season, starting with the introduction of Weaver [Laura Innes], is that personalities on ER have become as complicated and messy as brain surgery.

It's probably the most realistic fictional treatment of the medical profession TV has ever presented. The pace is furious, the narrative jagged and unsettling.

From week to week, it's as if the characters are being made up on the spot, without reference to pasts with which fans are very familiar. ... Storytelling here has suffered as well.
