Review of Good Sam

Good Sam (2022)
6/10
Not bad but really needs to improve.

Warning: Spoilers
Honestly, the show has it's moments but I don't like the constant infighting between the father and daughter. Basically, the dad was like House (a well known and respected heart surgeon and head of the cardiology dept). He gets shot and ends up in a coma. Meanwhile, his daughter (Sam) is asked to take over the department and the day it becomes official, the dad wakes up. Obviously, he doesn't know it's been 6 months and wants to immediately return to his duties as a surgeon and department head. By law though, he has to go through a proctorship to ensure his skills are still there. The promotion his daughter was taking (department head) is put on hold to see how the dad does. The daughter agrees to proctor her dad but he questions her judgement and undermines her at every level (even in front of the patients). I doubt ANY hospital (or even patients) would put up with 2 doctors fighting over the diagnosis /treatment in front of the patient. Daughter requests tests to see if it's one thing, Dad SAYS it's something else (while the patient sits there looking confused and unsure WHICH doctor to trust). Then you have the rest of the department who are so used to following the dad, they automatically schedule tests and treatment he orders without following up with the daughter (the actual boss at the moment).

Hope it gets better.
