"Miami Medical" Review

Miami Medical is found on CBS on Friday nights at 10/9 central, the season premier was on Friday, April 2, 2010 it opens with a couple going for ice cream and as they park in front of the shop, there is an explosion that sends their car sliding into the middle of the road where moments after they begin to celebrate their survival, the car is then plowed into by a pickup truck. The dazed husband stumbles out of the car looking for his wife and finds her on the ground covered in blood on the other side of the car. In moments the viewer is transported to Miami Trauma One where staff are starting their shift and learn of the explosion. The pace is non-stop as one doctor has a meltdown and walks out of the emergency room while removing his clothing, the other doctors are stunned, but have little time to find out what is happening as more injured folks arrive from the explosion. Just as in real life some lives are saved while others are lost, there is a mix of conversation about who will be promoted to take over for the doctor who walked out and an unknown doctor shows up and begins treating patients which adds to the chaos.

I look forward to seeing more of this show, and hope that future episodes aren't anticlimactic after the explosive premier episode. I guess you could say my expectations are pretty high for this show after watching the premier, though I am concerned that it has a potential for becoming highly predictable in nature which I could easily see happen since I've seen it happen with other shows with a similar intensity level.
