Embarrassingly Inept
28 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This had the pedigree to be good - creator, budget, casting...but what happened?

An almost total lack of credibility of character, setting and story line as exemplified by the following highlights..

A completely contrived main plot with different sub plots each episode, each designed to not so subtly message the audience.

A narcissistic self important sentimentalism with - for example - unlikely heroism and selflessness from all the main characters.

Magical scientific breakthroughs and miracle like cures.

An apparently over stressed medical system where one doctor can spend days helping one patient.

A category 6 super storm that never happens and the consequences of which appear to be one fallen tree.

Padding out its lack of any real substance with extended soundtrack sequences, completely unrealistic, gratuitous and repetitious scenes of injections, it doesn't seem to have any courage of its convictions and ends up being an insipid mess.
