All told, it's a fantastic collection of talent that keeps the show moving, even when the case-of-the-week is something of a clunker.
The introduction of high-strung Dr. Sacani (Ben Shenkman) as the new lead physician at HankMed is a confident first step in another summer of Hamptons high jinks.
In summer, we feel less guilty about guilty pleasures. And Royal Pains is just what the doctor ordered for a shameless seasonal fling.
Royal Pains has some moments of genuine wit--a lot more of them after Costanzo shows up.
Royal Pains is a pleasant excursion, with some great one-liners and a chance to tweak its well-worn formula.
Like some of the CW's less captivating offerings, this show is a cheese pizza with cheese-stuffed crust. But if that sounds tasty, by all means, enjoy!
If it all sounds a little contrived, it is. But that's not the show's real problem. The real problem is that instead of having goofy fun with all its eye candy, Royal Pains mostly wants to sit around drinking in the excesses of the uber-wealthy, with an occasional joke as an afterthought.
