Emily Owens M.D.

I have been watching Emily Owens MD for several weeks and looked forwarding to seeing it every week. It wasn't on for last couple of weeks and I am hoping it wasn't cancelled. It was one of the best new shows I've seen in a while. Then I saw something about it was being cancelled. I hope it's not true. It wasn't on long enough to give it a real chance. I thought it was a really good show. I thought Dr. Necar Zadegan who plays the strict boss was very good, and so was Cassandra and Justin Hartley and Rady. Mamie Gummer looks so much like her movie star mother Meryl Streep that I knew right away who Mamie's mother was. I like Mamie and think she is a good actress.I know of many TV shows I wouldn't watch which are popular, yet they cancel Emily Owens MD which I liked better than most of the popular TV shows. They shouldn't have cancelled it. I think it could have been successful. What a letdown.

You know...I have been checking out a lot of the new premieres for shows this season and it's a relief to find one that is so good. I guess I am realizing some of the qualities that I look for in a show. Kind of done with shows that are cut together for the 15 - 22 year old short attention span with violence on the side, etc...

I really enjoy shows that are about the character's everyday life: where they came from; the experiences (good and bad) they are going through and watching those characters develop and change as the series progresses.

I love the lead character! "Emily Owens" is someone you can relate too and and is very likable. There is so much material to work through with her character and her willingness to grow. And since one of my favourite shows "House" ended last season, this provides enough medical investigatory type problem solving to fill that void. Plus the show deals with social issues as well to make you think about how you would handle things.

Love the inner monologue that we get from Emily as well...clever & witty.

The rest of the cast looks fantastic and the writing was great. Honestly - if you are looking for a show (in a hospital setting) that is a relief to watch and enjoy; one that is about relationships and growing in those - than this will be for you.

Mamie Gummer does a fantastic job...her humour is natural and subtle. Love it! She is lovely to watch.

Excited to see where the plot lines go with Justin Hartley and Michael Rady as well. Great actors! (easy on the eyes too!) ;-)

That's my 2-cents. Looking forward to enjoying this show...so happy that it's on! Hope it does well!

In just a few words: I am in love with all that this show has to offer. From the very first episode, I was hooked. The topics that the show touches on and the actors performances enthrall me. I find myself completely entertained every time I watch this new take on a medical drama. Not only is it witty and fun but it is heartbreaking and thoughtful. I've enjoyed every episode that has aired thoroughly. Mamie Gummer is engaging. I love the awkwardness and naïveté that she brings to the character of Emily. The fact that the audience is able to hear her thoughts throughout each episode is brilliant. I'm truly saddened that this show has been canceled. I was looking forward to many more episodes and much more awkwardness in the future.

So far I've watched 3 episodes. I never liked this kind of TV shows but this show stood out when I was flipping throw the channels. no plot holes or bridge scenes so far, the performance is great, the show is character driven, they don't focus a lot on the gadgets. I've been doing some research my self on the medical terminology they use and so far they have been good. I get the feeling that the writing team gets a lot of say. watching the show makes me feel that there is a great team behind it. i think that the show will last for a while as long as it stays funny and smart. its a good show and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

As a female currently applying to medical school, this is one of the medical "dramas" (that usually has nothing to do with medicine) I find very entertaining. Instead of the suaveness that the stars of of Grey's Anatomy and House MD portray, Emily Owens represents the unavoidable socially awkwardness people face in the med track. I could see myself relating to many of her problems currently, or in the future while in residency.

Plus points for a diverse cast (including a lesbian woman of color and an Asian prospective gf for Micah). Love this show, and hope it continues for more than a season or two.
