I oddly enjoy it. Despite the over the top, American loudness of our main character group. Because it does seem very American. Everything about the show screams it.

Does it seem a rip off of Bridgerton, yes.

I cringe when the group of girls scream like they're on spring break. When they go swimming in their underclothes with batchelors.

I'm only 3 episodes in but their behaviours, their vocabulary, their style of dress are very inconsistent with what would have been the norm.

Instead it seems like a group of Valley cheerleaders have been transplanted into mid 1800s England.

I guess it's made made to appeal to a TikTok generation's imagining of what that time would be like.

Despite the faults of the show and my inward cringing of just how...American...it is, I kind of enjoy it. Most of the cast are capable actors.

If you don't mind glossing over historical accuracy and enjoy a bit of vapidness, you probably wouldn't mind spending a few hours watching this.

I'm not going to lie, I enjoy watching the show. I'm not sure why though.

Most of the characters are thoroughly unlikeable. Some of their actions over the last couple of seasons would have had them fired years ago. Like Natalie locking herself in with a child to give him medication against parents consent. Or over riding patients wishes time and again.

The contempt and judgement they have of their patients is astounding, regularly accusing their patients of lying. And they find themselves in the most ridiculous and dramatic situations.

The most likeable characters are probably Dr Charles, Dr Abrams and Dr Latham. Dr Rhodes wasn't too bad before he left. They do their damn jobs.

I'm on season 6 so I guess I enjoy it but don't ask me why.
