Andre Braugher stars as Ben Gideon, the chief of experimental medicine at a prestigious teaching hospital that is often the last hope for critically ill patients. A skilled healer, Gideon has a somewhat unique bedside manner and frequently uses rather unorthodox methods to heal his patients and pass along his passion to the younger generation of physicians.
Gideon's Crossing — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite Andre Braughter's killer performance as the titular doctor, Gideon's Crossing is riddled with lackluster supporting roles and weak storylines that keep it from ever waking up from its coma.
