Episode 2 brings a mass infusion of new characters, including an oncologist played by Providence vet Melina Kanakaredes, that leaves the cast feeling overcrowded. But two episodes in, The Resident still shows plenty of storytelling potential, with real tension and intriguing character dynamics to dive into. It doesn’t flinch at showing how our health-care system is run like a for-profit business.
If it doesn't break any new ground in the genre, it efficiently delivers a familiar mix of ethical conundrums and colorful characters, with just enough blood and sex to seem "real" in TV terms.

I love this show! It has a little bit of everything drama, comedy, **** is very well written and acted. I would agree with others who have said the critics are probably people in the medical field who don't want the general public to know about all the politics that happen behind the scenes. Granted some of the stories are probably a little extreme, but come one people, it's television. It's meant to entertain. I, for one, am very entertained and thoroughly enjoy this show. Hope to see it around for many more seasons!

Finally, they expose the truth in our health care system. The only ones pissed off are the people that are the guilty doctors, nurses and pharma people. This is the brutal truth. After having many experiences very similar to those portrayed I am happy to see someone with the balls to stand up and dramatize it. Wake up America. this is the truth!

The Resident already seems to be straining credulity with the demonic Dr. Bell. How long can he rule with an iron fist as the hospital’s most-requested celebrity surgeon? That hand isn’t getting any steadier while his ego shows no sign of downsizing. This isn’t supposed to be a soap opera in the mode of Dallas, so Bell seemingly can’t get away with being a broadly drawn J.R. Ewing. Something’s got to give. And I’m interested just enough in The Resident to see if something soon does.
It's a drama. ... The Resident turns out to be hilarious in so many ways, but first you must get through the horror.
Although the series milks melodrama at every opportunity, it explores interesting ethical issues arising from its fundamental premise that a medical institution’s concern for the bottom line sometimes takes priority over saving lives.
The confusion around Conrad feels like some of the broader confusion of the show; it aims to be cynical, but it still needs an idealistic core for the audience to root for. It’s smart that The Resident seeks to disrupt TV’s pleasant fantasies of healthcare in America--and in the show we see one of the most frank discussions of how profit-seeking degrades patient care. But it needs a stronger, broader ensemble. When everyone is terrible, it’s hard to care.
[The Resident] is an exercise in frustration. Self-important, predictable and inconsistent, the series delivers bland stories about terrible people playing God, just because they can.
Most Doctor hospital shows are not so great, but there are 2 that are truly amazing and this is one of them. I created an account here so i could write this review.
This is a brilliantly written and acted show. I feel those who gave it a low rating and trashed the show claiming it's not real, well it's totally real, that's the sad part. I know many who have gone through hell in the hands of doctors, not just me.
I feel that those negative reviews are written by doctor's, others in the medical community, and their families who reap the financial benefits, yet sometimes hurt patients in unimaginable ways. Some of you even admit you work in healthcare, stop hiding the truth, the corruption happens everywhere.
Thank you to the talented writers and actors exposing the medical community! Don't be intimidated by powerful doctor's who want the truth hidden.

I have been a nurse for over 40 years and found this show disgusting. It reeks of white privilege and is a discredit to the medical profession. Yes, there are incompetent people in the profession, but they are not allowed to function at the expense of their patients. I expect TV shows about medicine to show empathy, and ethics, and to educate as we all must take a more active role in our health care.
