Black Box (2014)
Picture-Perfect Depictions of Brain (Neurological) Diseases
28 May 2014
Seems like a picture-perfect plot for a medical series that focuses so closely upon well-researched neurological pathologies. So it must also consider MENTAL ILLNESSES . . . and what is so outraging to those 1 rating, dare I call them 'reviewers'(?). Seems like lots of writers on IMDb are having knee-jerk reactions to only one aspect of a very broadly-focused series; in particular, its one aspect that looks through the lens of Dr. Black's mental status. Too bad to view a whole series through such a narrowed lens.

Bring back Vanessa Redgrave as Dr. Hartramph, please. The exchanges between Dr. Hartramph and Dr. Black were oh so brilliant and way too well researched to omit from the series. In fact, their exchanges are crucial elements of educating viewers.

Here's hoping this cutting-edge series will intrigue many new viewers who loved "ER" for so many years, since this is very similar with one distinction: instead of just dealing with physical infirmities, "Black Box" deals with BOTH physical and psychological ones.

Thanks for reading.
