I agree on Dr. Collins. When she clutched her stomach that was pointing to nothing good.
One thing I notice with this show is the hour flies by. A few thoughts: the ladder guy situation (even without previews) seemed off. Like why did the wife not want to see him? I am not looking forward to the pregnant teen story. The mother seems needlessly cruel.
I have come around on Doctor Asshole’s role in the show. She’s a jerk and there’s always a jerk in every workplace. Her story went in an unexpected direction this week.
At this point, this show is confident (but not cocky!)
The show does fly by! To the point where I would honestly enjoy each episode filling out its full “hour” of real time. Wanting an episode of a streaming show to be longer is certainly a wild thing to feel in this day and age!
Just binged the 6 first episodes over the last couple of days and I have to say it's nice seeing a medical tv show again checking all of the boxes of what made these shows compelling in the first place.
One thing I think is interesting is given everything is unfolding realtime it can be kind of difficult to gauge how these characters are interacting with the bigger storyline. Dr. Santos is a good example where there's all sort of ramifications being stacked but we're not seeing the full effects of where it is heading since no-one had the time to breath and evaluate it. In many medical shows half the stuff she pulls would likely have major recourse early on in the show (and from what I'm reading from medical professionals posting their thoughts on the show some of it is pretty bad) but here some of the actions of her and other characters are sort of contained in isolation until the inevitable fallout. It's fun but can also be slightly disorienting and make it hard to see where some of these storylines are heading.
McKay is an interesting character, anyone else catch her reprimanding the intern for being judgmental but also being dismissive of others in her own speech (e.g. referring to the runaway teen as incel kid)? At this point I like most of the established/senior doctors characters though feel the portrayal of the interns is still a bit one-note at times.

RIP to the romance between nightmare intern and the surgeon (in any world dropping a scalpel on the others foot is a dealbreaker)
