I didn't have any interest in this but watched because someone else wanted to. I fell in love with it in about two minutes. I have never seen these characters in a sitcom before. Granted I don't watch a lot of them but the richness and honesty here is pretty mesmerizing. The first episode was intriguing as they laid the groundwork, and the next two went beyond it to brilliance. Dawn, Didi and Patsy are characters I have never seen before. Metcalfe's doctor is thrilling because every time she appears we know we are in for some new insanity. But what is so inspiring about this show is the humanity of the nurses. Not just in their care for some of the most pathetic of patients (customers), but in the examination into their own shortcomings in life though I have not yet found any shortcomings in Didi who may be the most loving character I have ever experienced in a television program. Not sure this one is gonna make it. It might be too good for Americans. The honesty and greatness of the acting might be too subtle for us.
