Season 2 Review: 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. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Inoculated against hype and its backlash on the strength of fortified plotting and unshowy acting, ER continues to make good on its initial stylistic breakthroughs. Which is to say, all the speedy razzle-dazzle hasn't gone lame yet. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A trauma-rama that opens on an adrenaline rush and pretty much stays there, with timeouts for pathos and sex and dark hilarity, ER launches a surgical strike on the emotions that could make it the medical drama for the '90s. [19 Sep 1994]

Season 5 Review: 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. Read full review

My absolute favorite all time medical drama. 12 amazing seasons. You follow John Carter as he makes his was as first a surgeon then a emergency medical doctor. As well as all the wacky patient's that come through the door.
