Familiar with Excellent Originality
***I want to start off by saying that where I watched this series the uploader jumbled up and confused the episode sequence. However, that doesn't really affect the outcome of the show, just need to figure out in which order to watch.***This story was full of familiar actors, I've been watching newer dramas recently and forgot this one came out in 2011 so I was sort of surprised to see how many actors/actresses I recognized within this show. Each episode really was jam packed full of epic dramatic moments that I don't remember seeing in other medical drama's I've watched, minus a few familiar instances (the on call interns have trouble taking care of patients in the middle of the night; the intern(s) is/are frustrated they aren't assigned where they want to be, etc)
The medical jargon isn't hard to understand, they don't really define what's going on so much as walk you through it. I think it's a little better to see something in action as or after it's explained than to just imagine what will/would happen in your head. There wasn't a lot of blood or gory moments, so if you're squeamish or just beginning in medical dramas then this is a good starting point.
I kind of wish the elaborated on a couple other cast members instead of focusing so intensely on a couple of others (if you watch the show, you'll see my point maybe). There's nothing wrong with who they focused on but it was a little frustrating to see these 5 interns and have the basis of the story (or maybe it was just the synopsis that made me feel this way) be that they were going to work together and build this really strong bond between the 5 of them. But, that changed a little, and for good reason, too! I just would have liked to have seen them all stick together a little more. I'm not asking for a life-or-death bond, like some people think the cast of the American tv show "Friends" has/had, but I would liked to have seen a little more team work among the 5.
This show is a great show to watch, however, if you're looking for an epically dramatic story. If you're looking for exciting happenings that create fantastic stories or would like to see more of the human condition, then this may be the drama for you!

Gostei de como o foco em Resident foi diferente do que estou acostumada a ver em dramas médicos, foi bem interessante acompanhar o desenvolvimento de cada um desses jovens enquanto caminhavam de residentes inexperientes até se tornarem em médicos de verdade.

O roteiro é bem simples eficiente, sem excessos nas atuações, tramas desnecessárias ou aquela enrolação maçante no desenvolvimento da história. A protagonista é uma ótima personagem, ela é bem humana. Eu particularmente gostaria de ver uma continuação mostrando a especialização deles.
Resumindo: é um bom drama, gostei de assistir.
