Originating on CTV, the Transplant TV show has already been renewed for a second season in Canada but, there’s no guarantee that the peacock network will air it. NBC licenses the series and is airing it in the fall because the production of its regular shows has been delayed. How will Transplant perform in the ratings? Will the NBC want to air season two in 2021, once the network has more of it can produce more of its own programming again? Stay tuned.
The Transplant TV show stars Hamza Haq, Laurence Leboeuf, John Hannah, Jim Watson, Ayisha Issa, Linda E. Smith, and Torri Higginson. Doctor Bashir Hamed (Haq) is a charismatic Syrian doctor with battle-tested skills in emergency medicine. He and his younger sister, Amira (Gulamgaus), flee their war-torn homeland and become refugees, struggling to forge a new life in Canada. When a horrific truck crash nearly kills a senior doctor right in front of him, Bash saves the doctor’s life and earns a residency in the biggest Emergency Department of the best hospital in Toronto. Through it all, Bash tries to meet the demands of his new country and a new job, while trying to pay the bills, raise his little sister and carve out a new life for them both in this unfamiliar land. .

What do you think? Do you like the Transplant TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season on the peacock network?
I did not enjoy this show and will not watch again. The acting was poor, the storyline was boring, and the look of the entire show was unappealing. I had been looking forward to its premier. So disappointing.
I watched the whole hour. Not bad, but the “gifted doctor” theme is becoming a little stale.
And yes, we get it:
We can’t judge millions of olive-skinned middle Europeans by the actions of thousands of terrorists.
