TV show description:
This dramedy is the coming-of-age story of a group of rule-bending friends and the adults who mentor them through the ups and downs of adolescence in Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles.
The narrator of the show is Charlie (Griffin Gluck), a 12-year-old who’s in a coma. He introduces the audience to this band of unlikely friends.
Jordi Palacios (Nolan Sotillo) is the “new kid,” a 16-year-old who comes to California by himself to try to get treated by the renowned hospital’s top surgeon.
Charming and independent, Leo Roth (Charlie Rowe) is the 16-year-old leader of the group. His best friend is Dash Hosney (Astro), a 16-year-old rebel with a big personality. He’s determined not to let his cystic fibrosis stop him from living his life.
A know-it-all, 15-year-old Emma Chota (Ciara Bravo) is Leo’s on-again-off-again girlfriend. She’s coping with an eating disorder. Meanwhile, Kara Souders (Zoe Levin) is a “mean girl” cheerleader who shares a room with comatose Charlie. Although her heart is failing, she is realizing for the first time that she actually has one and begins opening it up to her new friends.
The pediatric ward at Ocean Park is run by Nurse Jackson (Octavia Spencer). She’s a caregiver who has a take-no-prisoners approach to helping these teens get the most from their lives. She ends up putting her own life in second place. Her stern manner hides her incredible heart that secretly makes their lives more ordinary.
Nurse Jackson has little use for naïve and gullible Nurse Brittany Dobler (Rebecca Rittenhouse), who allows the teens to get away with things they probably shouldn’t.
Overseeing much of the kids’ treatment is Doctor Adam McAndrew (David Annable), the country’s top pediatric surgeon.
Episode #13 — Waiting for Superman
The group copes with the loss of one of their own, which results in new hope for one of them. Love is in the air as Nurse Jackson and Dr. Naday take things to a new level, however Dash’s love interest could cost him his life. Shocking news leads to new hope and Emma and Kara start facing their family issues.
First aired: February 7, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Red Band Society TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
i Love the Redband society TV episodes it was my favorite series in the world and it tonight me many things I really want to know happened to Leo does he get rid of his cancer,also does Charlie finally start to move his whole body or will he only be able to speak and move his fingers, and Emma does she get better now that her parents or with her, and what about Jordi what happened when he went into surgery. I need to now so please make another series I beg of you it is the best series ever… Read more »
I think they should have renewed it because it was such a great show and I enjoyed watching it. I loved all the character’s so much.
Please bring it back.
Our whole family loved this show. We are shocked and disappointed that it is cancelled. It is a great show that is not trashy or vulgar, and still hits the big teen issues. Somebody pick it up!
my wife and i thoroughly enjoyed the show… should not be cancelled.. quality t v series.
Please bring this back…..I am a 67 year old grandma who loved this show…. cried like a baby on the last episode. The characters were so young and refreshing!
This show was very touching, unique and refreshing. I was drawn to it instantly and was very excited about not seeing a nothing CSI or law and order spin-off. ER was a success and so is Grey’s Anatomy, why not keep the young medical show to attract viewers who may become interested in wanting to make a difference. Even if it’s just changing to become a donor. Poor decision to cancel…
OMG!!! How could they do this? This was such a great “FAMILY” show that I could actually enjoy with my children. PLEASE bring it back!!!!!!
It would have had more views if it was put on a popular network like abc family because that’s were most of the shows like redband society air.
This is a good show. It has good acting a really different storyline. It is much better than most reality shows. It needs to be keepr. Come Fox bring it back
You’ve gotta be kidding! This was a really new and fresh show for a change, I’m not going to even watch FOX any longer…After hearing recently about the cancelling of The Following and Backstrom…they’ve got nothing left but Bones…but, I’m certain they’ll get around to canceling that. too…just like they’ve canceled their good programs every year before…who makes these decisions?
These people believe they have more power than God. If people would stop watching these stations they would lose their sponsors. That would bite into their profits and their paychecks. Sad part is most Americans will not do this. The Following is cancelled also. Bones is so boring they can have it. “FOX ~ You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself.” America is falling apart at the seams. Stand up and give our youth a reason to stay home with their families. Instead of rioting, looting and torching businesses and vehicles. Be apart of the solution ~ You do not need… Read more »
