It is a singular piece of work about people, their work and the place in which those people do that work. Not surprisingly, perhaps, it is the people who make the difference, in every aspect of the story being told. ... The way they weave medical procedures together with the emotional histories, involvement and evolution of their characters is extraordinary. And extraordinarily involving.
It seems as though everything on [the broadcast networks's] schedules that isn’t a cop or lawyer show is a doctor show. And yet, somehow, I’ve never seen anything like Lenox Hill before. ... By choosing the doctors they profile there with care, director-producers Ruthie Shatz and Adi Barash capture the astounding range of personalities, specialities and styles of care the medical profession encompasses—and do justice to the many varieties of everyday heroism that take place behind hospital doors. ... The show comes by its emotional resonance honestly.

First of all, not for the squeemish. Real brain surgery, real baby deliveries. nothing gratuitous but it is real things not re enactment. About the same level of depth as ER but real. I am very skeptical, these doctors sure seem to all want to do the right thing, but as a profession I know doctors to be arrogant, ignorant and greedy.

SEASON 1
While a deeply moving tribute to those we have lately come to call "heroes," this proves they've been heroes all along. (It was filmed before the pandemic.) A can't-miss beauty.
The show isn’t as comprehensive in its scope as it might be intending at points, but there’s still plenty of fertile storytelling ground where it does focus its attention.
This show honors them and their hard work and you can’t help but feel it in your heart.
It is a documentary, but you find yourself taking the characters to heart – patients and doctors alike – as if you were watching a drama.
The eight-episode first season ends up more emotionally nourishing than intellectually satisfying. ... The show is structured to make you invest in the men as doctors, while our main concerns about Amanda and Mirtha inevitably revolve around their pregnancies (and resolve to work around them). ... I'm fairly sure that for the directors, the contrasts is intentional, and they'd characterize it as reflecting a specific professional gender divide rather than reinforcing it. The effect is nevertheless limiting and limited.
Real doctors, real heroes. The human and material resources that this hospital has are enviable and should be replicated.
