Summary
Reviewers say 'Chicago Med' is criticized for its unrealistic medical portrayals and exaggerated drama, especially in staff relationships. The show faces backlash for injecting political agendas and current events, as well as for unrealistic character behavior and rule-breaking without consequences. Some find the repetitive storylines and melodrama off-putting. However, supporters appreciate the emotional intensity and character-driven narratives.
Featured reviews
I have never seen a more inept group of doctors and nurses. They make inexcusably poor decisions, they lie, they steal pills, and they constantly color outside the line of their professional duties and responsibilities.
If I were ill and I lived in Chicago, I would never let them take me to Chicago Med.

It's a good watch, not quite ER standards.
One annoying point is the terrible South African accent of the character Ava Bekker. It's incredibly fake.
I read other reviews slamming the show and everyone has a right to their opinion. My thought is, if you don't like it, don't watch it. I personally enjoy it, along with the Chicago franchise (Fire&PD). The crossover events are especially fun to watch. Is the use of accurate information on medication always correct? I can't say as I am not a doctor.
I watch it because I like the characters and the stories. I'm sure there could be improvements, as with most tv. But this is not a documentary, its meant for entertainment. At least the characters have back stories. Lives outside the hospital. Dick Wolf has smartly created a network of series that all intermingle and its interesting to see how the New York shows come into play with the Chicago shows. So, just try it.
And I don't mean to offend but to say it's like a soap opera is kinda funny to me because what is Grey's if not a soap? Most medical dramas have an element of such as well as miraculous cures at the end of the hour.
Much as I normally love medical shows...this isn't one of them. Tedious, boring, terrible acting.and totally unrealistic. If I wanted to watch soap opera, I'd choose daytime drama. Whoever is writing these scripts has probably never spent any time in a hospital. Please get new writers or dump this mess!
Things that are a nuances: they intubate EVERYONE! WHY? Surgeons literally gut people in front of family members, which is extremely traumatic. April, Natalie, Dr. Bekker, and Dr. Holstead are all ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING!!! They literally cause my skin to crawl with them merely speaking. The fact that their characters have that kind of power on the viewer means Wolf did a great job in balancing out the love-hate of the characters lol. We cannot love everyone. LOL. Happy viewing.

- TriviaPatti Murin, who plays Dr. Nina Shore is married to Colin Donnell (Dr. Connor Rhodes).
- GoofsMost of the time, when trying to revive a patient with chest compressions, the doctors do them much too fast (about five per second, when CPR guidelines are 100 compressions per minute). Swift, shallow compressions don't allow enough blood and oxygen to circulate through the heart and reach the brain.
- Crazy creditsLorena Diaz(Doris) appears in nearly every episode, but her name is never listed in the opening credits.
