Pull the plug on this show!


Shaun has no business being a doctor anyway and besides that, he's become an @sshole!

reply

He's actually becoming more social as the show goes on.

I find the show unwatchable. I'm glad it does good by some people. It's just not my thing.

reply

I usually avoid any hospital or cop show since they've made about a billion of each.

reply

Just checked out New Amsterdam. It's a lot of the same old crap. There seems to be two types of hospital show. The one that does everything as real as possible and the one that tries to show a fantasy version of great medicine could be.

I love it!

reply

Same! This season has been great so far!

reply

This is a great show.
Ask any nurse or orderly ... most doctors are assholes ... asshole with a god complex.
It would be kind of unnerving to have this guy as your doctor, but as a consulting physician, I think most peolpe could handle it, plus, at least as the character is written he is passionate and brilliant.

reply

That's a valid point.

reply

They don't have a God Complex, they are God!

reply

I agree and thought the show would have been cancelled. The entire premise is unrealistic, and dangerous.

reply

I don't watch a lot of prime time show but I really like this one. I like some of these characters and all the medical jargon.

reply

Obviously, you are just prejudiced against people with autism (That's what he has, right? I don't watch the show). Then you definitely are not going to enjoy the show starting this fall season called Trisomy 911 about a police station filled entirely with cops with Down's Syndrome. It's got emmy written all over it!

reply

It's funny how we're all expected now to find people with autism fascinating and lovable, as if they have special powers and wisdom.

reply

Don't they?

reply

I couldn't take him seriously.

reply

I would give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he wouldn't be there unless he was qualified. It's not easy becoming a doctor, even harder becoming a surgeon, I think he would have already overcome a lot of his issues along the way or they would have flunked him.

reply

He's annoying and needs to be slapped. And nobody's health care should be placed in this freak's hands.
