Binge watched both seasons over a few days and just like another show I just binged on (The Returned), this one was a good show that ended too early.
I love MEW and she did a great job in this, as did everyone IMO.
I liked seeing some of the characters as they worked through their ingrained prejudice and finally saw people as PEOPLE and not a color. Then there were others, even when slapped in the face with examples of intelligence and humanity from those they thought of as less, still refused to change their bigoted way of thinking. We have made great progress since then, don't listen to those who try to divide us by saying otherwise.
Sad to see this go, but with viewership at less than half for the 2nd season, there's no way they could justify the cost and manage the scheduling of the actors/actresses. I think the second season was just as strong as the first, so I don't see why over half the viewers abandoned the show after season 1. I was hooked from the start.
The medical side of the show was very interesting, seeing what they had to work with back then in a sea of horrible injuries. I loved the crazy drama and conflict that went on within the hospital. The romance was entertaining, but it is a major let-down that it ended where it did. Even if the show were to continue into a 3rd season, I don't think S2 gave proper attention at the end for one of our main love stories.
The subject matter in this show is one that is ever-important and I hope more people discover it as time goes on. It may have been a short run, but it was well worth the watch.
