TV show description:
This medical drama takes place at the underfunded San Antonio Memorial Hospital and follows the men and women who work the night shift — where the toughest and craziest cases always seem to come through the door. The staffmembers are an irreverent and special breed.
Adrenaline junkie TC Callahan (Eoin Macken) served three grueling tours of duty in Afghanistan. An Army doctor who uses unorthodox methods to save lives, Callahan’s brash style does not always sit well with the bosses. He is however a brilliant surgeon and a fearless advocate for his patients.
His best friend is Topher (Ken Leung), a quick-witted free spirit who knows how to manipulate the system in his favor. He will do whatever it takes to save a patient’s life.
TC’s protégé is Drew (Brendan Fehr), a former Army medic turned doctor who knows how to let off steam with a casual prank. When lives are at stake however, he’s all business. He’s proud to be part of the often-ridiculed night shift and engages in mixed martial arts as a way to reduce stress that comes with the job.
The new night shift boss is TC’s ex-girlfriend, Doctor Jordan Alexander (Jill Flint). A brilliant physician, she’s recently been promoted with a mandate to bring order to the emergency room. She struggles to keep everyone in check, but TC doesn’t make it easy.
Paul Cummings (Robert Bailey Jr.) is fresh out of medical school and still adjusting to the rigors of an emergency room as a surgical resident. Krista (Jeananne Goossen) is also a new intern. She’s smart and beautiful and as comfortable with her sensuality as she is with a scalpel.
Kenny (JR Lemon) is a seasoned nurse who keeps the doctors focused on the tasks at hand. He works hard to ensure that patients get the care they need, even if it means he has to break a few rules.
Landry de la Cruz (Daniella Alonso) is a fun-loving Texan and the lone psychiatrist on the night shift. She finds she has to tend to her colleagues as much as she cares for the patients on the ward.
Making their lives even tougher is the fact that the night shift is now under new senior management. Michael Ragosa (Freddy Rodriguez) is an unflinching bureaucrat determined to cut costs but he’s also hiding a health secret that has kept him from becoming a doctor. He often releases his frustrations on his staff, refusing to let anyone see him as weak and ineffectual.
Episode #45 — Resurgence
A shooting at a nearby college sends TC (Eoin Macken), Jordan (Jill Flint), Drew (Brendan Fehr) and Amira (guest star Rana Roy) into the field, where they assist Rick (guest star Luke Macfarlane) with a deadly situation. Scott (Scott Wolf) implements a new training program and locks horns with Julian (guest star James McDaniel). Drew (Brendan Fehr) struggles with frustrations about going to Army Ranger School while Shannon (Tanaya Beatty) and TC both contemplate their future at San Antonio Memorial. (Courtesy NBC)

Working at the SAMMC ( formerly known as BAMC) in San Antonio, Texas, and being a veteran in the ER and in Pharmacy, I can tell you this show is SPOT ON!!! Please keep the episodes coming.
I really like tv shoes like this and I hope it gets renewed for a second season STOP HATING ON THE TV
this is the worst hospital program I have ever seen. That goes back to Marcus Welby. All the idiots portrayed were white, the woman with STD’s, the “trailer trash” as he was called, the rich woman in the ambulance, the skin head the boy with multiple personalities, the junkie who jumped off the roof etc. All the heroes are homosexual, Asian, black and a nutcase who hit his supervisor twice and tried to take a heart from the jumper without permission. What a debacle. It is obvious the show has a anti white agenda.
All in all, it is a crapfest, but as long as “the nutcase who hit his supervisor twice and tried to take a heart from the jumper without permission” takes his shirt off at least once per ep, I’ll keep watching.
I’ve never heard of a TV show being described as “anti-white” before. I’ll look at it from that POV next week.
I liked the premier & hopefully it will remain.
I loved it. And loved the music in it.
I loved it it like a grey’s anonamy with a little gh and I feel a bit of mash the cast over all is awesome and I cant wait for more so plezzzzz don’t cancel
I watched it, and I will continue watching it. The pilot was pilot-y, with heavy, clunky exposition, but now that that’s out of the way, I’m hoping for a show as good as Grey’s (Grey’s had such a good pilot, though).
