What happened to this show??

In this episode, a trained children's psychiatrist allows himself to be bullied by his preteen patients into leaving his smartphone in the van, thereby putting them in grave danger. And it turns out one of the kids had an iPad the whole time?

Meanwhile, a nurse is sent to prison for 10 years because of a mistake beyond her control, and Max guilts his team into taking the same risk she did. A feel good bit of nonsense because this staff is underpaid and single mothers... (Oh and he's getting over Helen VERY quickly.) A group of tenants who can't afford NYC real-estate find their problems solved ridiculously easily by Reynolds.

It's utter garbage melodrama. Complicated problems solved in 45 mins? Did the writers just give up?

It's not only presenting bad medical practices, it's solving problems with facile homilies.

It's so sad to see a show that started out with such promise devolve into THIS.

Sorry but s 1-3 I enjoyed then the social justice themes just get too much, it's like every issue must be tackled each episode with now, a nurse taking a 10 year jail sentence when she was cleared in civil court due to a faulty machine, yet in criminal the DA makes an issue, so when faced with the exact same situation the nurse refuses to override the machine, rightly so, the doctor doesn't, Max holds a nonflab and woah all the staff now decide they got into nursing to help not to cover their a55es, nah its gone into the realm of the wildly unbelievable now, 10 years in jail or follow the rules, no one in their right mind would keep overriding a machine when their colleagues go to jail for it!!!!
