"On my first day," recalls intern J.D., "my resident told me if you don't count the emergency room...or the maternity ward...one out of every three patients admitted to this [hospital] will die." That reflection, chilling though it be, introduces an insightful, compassionate episode that invites speculation on the fates of three new patients. (Prime Video)

The fourth episode didn't quite do it for me, even though the Janitor did his best. The others left him hanging, and he struggled without their support. Granted, real hospitals aren't usually fun places, and I don't mind acknowledging that. However, I still believe that a sitcom should primarily focus on humor. When it takes a more serious turn, it shouldn't just be tugging at your heartstrings. / Lesson learned: Be decisive.
