Conrad Hawkins is one of Chastain Park Memorial Hospital's best doctors. Charming and arrogant, Conrad likes to take an unconventional approach whenever possible and believes it's his personal duty to shatter the romantic illusions of the first-year residents. Dr. Devon Pravesh is an innocent idealist who leans on his finely tuned moral compass, but with Conrad's help, he begins to realize that the practice of medicine is a business, like any other, with less-than-angelic patients and fallible doctors.

David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 05/08/2019
Although the series milks melodrama at every opportunity, it explores interesting ethical issues arising from its fundamental premise that a medical institution's concern for the bottom line sometimes takes priority over saving lives. Go to Full Review
Brian Lowry CNN.com 01/30/2018
The show doesn't totally abandon being aspirational, while simultaneously trying to carve out enough space to distinguish it from other white-coated network fare. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 01/30/2018
Fox's new medical drama goes from annoying to average, leaving stars like Matt Czuchry, Emily VanCamp and Bruce Greenwood deserving better. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 05/08/2019
The show is forgettable at best and awful at worst, and even a couple of intriguing moments can't change that fact. Go to Full Review

Don G Nov 30 Generally, good character development. It is just that the theme is monotonous: Young = good, smart, miraculously wise Old = bad, corrupt Scripts tend to be an indictment of the money-hungry U.S. medical system…probably not to far from the truth. Overall not as gory as other series, like The Pit. See more Nikki M Sep 27 Absolutely loved this show I’m praying the come out with a season 7. Please I binged watched and one of my favorite shows of all time! And Conrad omg I’m in love. See more Nuria J Jul 23 This is the best medical drama ever! All the characters have soul and touch my heart. I can't have enough of Conrad, Nic, AJ, Devon, Mina, Irving... See more Jessica L 02/27/2025 This show had me locked in on the very first season, the intense drama between two lovers and the ever-racing heartbeat in every operation is something memorable. Some of my favorite characters consist of Condrad and Dr Aurther with his big ego but kind of heat there is no other shows like this one and I highly recommend. Every friend that I infuencted to watch this show can come to love it and it comes with good reason. there are moment where I am LITERALLY on the edge of my seat waiting to see what will happen next. If you are looking for a good constitant tv show to watch and learn from the resident should be at the top of your list, if you enjoy shows like 'the rookie' or 'the good docter' the resident will 100% be your next favored show! See more Betty B @Betty1977 02/23/2025 I really enjoy the stories, like the characters. What I personally can't stand is some of the over the top music and honestly, Conrad as an A&E doctor wearing all of those bangles, jewellery, stupid ring??! Seriously? And same trousers all the time 🙄 Quite annoying posing sometimes too with the squinting See more Maryann C 01/23/2025 I can usually walk away from a medical series . I work in a very busy emergency room and usually find tv medical shows too sunshine and rainbows . I like that it has a little grit to it. Touching on some social issues homeless,drugs in schools ,big pharma coruption, government, public ABUSE towards medical staff etc I loved it! I hope netflix picks it back up for a season 7 See more Read all reviews
