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
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!
Well I quite like the characters portrayed in this series I have nearly given up watching because of the medical errors.
Like open heart and lung surgery on an awake talking patient.
Once you open the chest you need a tube down the throat to control breathing.
Please get a better medical advisor.
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.
There are a number of actors like Oliver Platt, not handsome but so engaging. He has a wonderful delivery and I started watching Chicago Med only because he has a significant role in the series. Otherwise it's just a medical procedural with endless churn of patients and pretty actors to provide the drama.
Oliver is the quiet moment in the midst of the storm. Great casting decision.

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.
Storyline
Did you know
- 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.
