I find this program to be a refreshing change from House who acts like a jerk to everyone including the woman who loves him and treats everyone like dirt. I have seen Doctor Movies and TV shows as far back as I can remember including the first Dr. Kildare of 1938 starring Lew Ayres that one was made before I came along. I have also seen the TV series with Richard Chamberlain and Ben Casey with Vince Edwards as well as every other one to come along with the exception of the Soap General Hospital. I think this program's writers have taken a new approach and even though one critic has written a very negative review saying they didn't like it and compared It to Burn Notice. I think that is completely wrong and missed the differences between this and other shows. For one thing it already looks like if there is going to be a love story it may develop normally without all the pit falls that keep up the sexual tension but get old fast in most series. That may fall to the secondary cast members leaving Hank and Jill to concentrate on solving medical challenges that are going to come up not only with Hank's practice but Jill's desire to open a free clinic. If I were reading reviews to see if this id a show I might like I'd tell that person to go to the USA Network site and start with the pilot, and I would add a line from the old Alka-Seltzer commercials. "Try it you'll like it". But then you'll have to decide for your self, because you're the only one who will know in the end if you like it or not. I hope you do and then tall a few friends about it.
