Scrubs is a worthy spiritual successor to M*A*S*H thanks in part to its seamless blend of cheeky comedy and poignant, heartfelt moments.

Kelly Lawler USA Today The sweet, silly comedy is what we most often remember. But it's also a celebration of the doctors who work so hard to save lives, and a more realistic look at life in the hospital than high-drama soap operas. Nov 10, 2021 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly The series is distinguished by the unexpected interplay between its well-cast characters and the shrewd strategy it deploys to avoid making its overriding themes a poor-taste downer. Rated: A- Nov 8, 2019 Full Review James Poniewozik TIME Magazine Scrubs: an imperfect but fresh testament to a job that's maddening and noble--but a job nonetheless. Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Ben Taylor Nashville Scene The commercials for this show made it seem tame, but it's a charming riot. In many ways, it's modeled on Malcolm in the Middle, with its fast pace, fantasy sequences, and random flashbacks. Feb 26, 2020 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel [Bill] Lawrence gets off to a flying start in bringing this sense of black comedy to his series, which also benefits from scrubbing the laugh track. Nov 7, 2019 Full Review John Levesque Seattle Post-Intelligencer Not since M*A*S*H has the medical profession taken so much irreverent poking and prodding. Nov 7, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Black B Una serie divertida e interesante, al principio me gusto por el humor que se me hace super creativo y que también no escatiman en costos para hacer escenas con mas presupuesto, pero lo que hizo que me quedara era esas reflexiones al final del capitulo, cada una de estas reflexiones tenían una enseñanza que estaba dirigida para el personal de la salud pero también a las personas que consumimos este servicio, era enseñanzas de vida o de alguna aspecto de los humanos en este trabajo que te daba una esencia de confort super interesante, casi por terminar la temporada las enseñanzas ya no eran enfocadas en el ámbito de la salud pero aun así estas eran mas enfocadas para la vida diaria y aunque no me gustaron tanto como las anteriores se he hicieron muy buenas aun así. La recomiendo para todas esas personas que estudian todo lo relacionado a esto (ámbitos de salud), les encantara y les dará lecciones de vida para toda su carrera y vida diaria, si no es así no hay problema te entretendrá por la comedia y los personajes que se hacen memorables desde el primer instante. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review NEMXA R I love this show. This is the most realistic of working in a hospital I've ever seen. I work in a hospital and after watching the panic of the show it reflects some days at work. Jd n Turk r the best love how it plays thru jds eyes n others. I just want to rant about it n quote it but it's fun sweet funny n has emotion moments that will make u cry. Amazing show I miss this show soo much we all need some jd n Turk love right now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review Christian L Scrubs (S1 to S8) is probably one of the best-written and interpreted TV shows of modern entertainment. The comedic power, the drama, the iconicity of certain characters, everything is off the charts. One of the few series I have found myself cyclically rewatching over and over again, from when I was 8 years old up to this day. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Świetny humor, który dzisiaj może być uważany za rasistowski/(dowolny przedrostek)fobiczny Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Meh, it passed the time Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Perfect in every sense of the matter.
