      Having subjected myself to the first two episodes (why, I have no idea, other than perhaps morbid curiosity over all the doctors hating on it), I think I'll pass. #TheResident Is, without a doubt, the worst, most unrealistic medical show I've seen in as long as I can remember.https://twitter.com/MarkHoofnagle/status/958124337411878912 …

      I have had no inclination to watch any episode, even before everyone hated it. Just the trailer was enough to turn me off.

      The cold open of the pilot episode of #TheResident represented the stupidest, vilest five minutes of medical drama TV that I can recall ever having had the misfortune to watch. I don't know why I watched beyond it, other than maybe the whole watching a train wreck thing.

          I feel you... it's kind of how I felt forcing myself to watch the State of the Union.

          Reading the writer's defence, I can only imagine she deliberately found the most appalling real events she could and wrote them all into the script to still be able to claim it's "true". Like writing a story where every Dr is Harold Shipman and every Nurse is Beverley Allitt
