If we are to believe the Wall Street Journal, and loads of people do, all the time, U.S. viewers are about to see the debut of “the best medical show on American television.”is joining the prime-time NBC lineup is presumably the result of pandemically limited production schedules. But that’s selling it short. The series will make its debut as the best medical show on American television, which is something given the competition [even just on NBC].
No, it’s not about transplant surgery. The series is about a refugee to Canada from Syria, an experienced doctor. He’s the one who is transplanted. Like many refugees and immigrants, he can’t simply begin practising his trade here. The central figure, Bashir Hamed is toiling in a restaurant when a brutal accident spurs him to use his medical training to save the wounded. He literally uses whatever is to hand, including an electric drill. Injured himself, he ends up in hospital, where it becomes even more clear that he’s immensely skilled, and yet he flees the building.
But one of the people he saves is the chief of emergency medicine, Dr. Jed Bishop and, when Bishop recovers, he wants Bashir on board at the hospital. This is easier said than done. What has transfixed the WSJ critic and others -is also on the LA Times list of 15 must-see shows this fall – is the seething dynamic beneath the surface of high-tension hospital drama.is about the terror and frustrations that immigrants experience, trying to use their skills in a new country, adjust and contribute.
The WSJ reviewer, with whom the show sure resonated, will discover it continues to be as electrifying as the first episode, this Canadian drama that’s “the best medical show on American television.”
