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 think the show should be renewed. It was amazing and i really loved it. Couldn’t stop watching it. I was so disappointed when I found out it was being cancelled.
Truly hope the show is renewed. I just watched first season On Demand and hope to watch more episodes in the future. Potentially see long on going series with characters going and coming as new patients deal with medical issues and challenges
This show is my favorite series. All of the characters have interesting stories and different lifestyles. I love to see what it is like to live in a hospital and still make fun out of life. The tv show manages to keep you on the edge of your seat and still have romance. Personally, I’ve never liked a show as much as Red Band Society and have never felt this strongly about something, but this show must stay a show.
I REALLY hope that Fox does not pull plug on this show, it has gotten even more interesting and the characters are growing on me, the cast is brilliant, I look forward to every episode and if there was a show that deserve another season(s), it would be this one.
Please do not cancel. I love this show. I think everyone should watch it.
