Transplant is a great new series – I’m extremely hopeful that a second season will be given the go ahead.
I love Transplant please keep it on the program
It shows real people during real moments
And culturally great Thank you
One of my favourite shows ! It shows caring, decent people working together, who come from different parts of the world
I love the show! Can’t wait for season 2!!
I love this show and look forward to it every single week. Very well done. If you love medical shows, mark the date and time. The lead actor does a marvelous job!
Sounds like my kinda show.. I definitely will be planning on watching this
I will definitely watch this
I have enjoyed Transplant very much. It has interesting multidimensional characters and a very topical story line. It seems far more realistic than many American shows of this type. It is dramatic but also hopeful. If NBC takes over I hope they don’t Americanize it!
I love this show as well, better than any medical show out there. I too hope that is stays true to Canadian values.
