David K Please, don't let your kids try these medical procedures at home. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Steve D Solid but they need to stop acting like Kildare is leaving. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review nick s The acting was okay but the directing was lackluster. Lots of static, stiff shots. I'm guessing this was made for TV because the content was pretty dull. It seemed more like a hospital soap. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
