Yes we watch and enjoy this show. It might very well be where Medical science is or heading in a fictional drama with a very good cast.
Please renew this show. It is my favorite new show of the season. Love it.

I love this show. Seems like every time I get into a show, it gets cancelled. Why not cancel some of this reality TV? If I want reality, I’ll look out my window or watch the news.
