When Dr. Bashir Hamed, a charismatic Syrian doctor with battle-tested skills in emergency medicine, flees his war-torn homeland, he and his younger sister become refugees, struggling to forge a new life in Canada. If Bash ever wants to be a doctor again, he must redo his medical training from the ground up. He scores a residency in the biggest Emergency Department of the best hospital in Toronto, but it's a tough road. Bash's training is different, his life experience is different and he's not an exact match for his new colleagues. But his journey is universal, and his passion and hopefulness become contagious.

Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 09/02/2020
If Transplant is generally fine, the Transplant pilot, written by Kay and directed with an assured hand by Holly Dale, is especially good. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal 08/28/2020
The series will make its debut as the best medical show on American television, which is something given the competition (even just on NBC). Go to Full Review
John Doyle Globe and Mail 02/27/2020
It's not entirely original, but certainly superior to the usual and disarmingly different. Go to Full Review
Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 10/14/2022
This is a series as much about refugees and immigration as it is about universal health care and waiting rooms. Go to Full Review
Anthony Morris sbs.com.au 10/30/2020
He's an experienced doctor from a war-torn country sent back to square one: Bashir Hamed is the most compelling new doctor on television today. Go to Full Review

04/16/2022 We love the show Transplant, but the background music is way to LOUD, can´t hear alot of the dialog when the LOUD music is playing and the actors are talking See more vincent b @PopCorn27 01/16/2021 A great medical show and even better behind the scenes story of a doctor coming to America to escape war in search of a better life. The show has likeable characters (even those who have unlikable traits are likeable) and the medical side is spot on. I wish I knew about this show sooner - I can't wait for another season. GREAT JOB! See more sara a b @gizmobrooks77 01/05/2021 This medical Drama is Great. Brings me back to the days when I use to watch ER with my mom, even when I moved out I called & talked to my mom after new ER episodes about what happened during episodes. I think I would do this with my mom when Season 2 returns for Transplant is so good like ER except updated with this Dr & other that immigrated to Canada in this modern era. Looking Forward to Season 2 of Transplant!! See more 01/03/2021 I thought the show was very good. It has human interest and interesting medical drama. Great cast. I was hoping it would be renewed for another season. Glad to hear it was renewed. See more rosey r @Rosey26 12/10/2020 Excellent writing and acting. Very likeable characters with amazing character development. Wonderful new show! I look forward to it each week. See more 12/09/2020 Well, being an American I've seen every kind of medical drama possible since the 1950s. They kill entirely too many people in the medico-melodrama. I've worked in hospital as a Clinical Laboratory Technologist and I don't think we every killed so many people in ER as this group does. They need to have more successes. The chief medical officer coming back to work as a doctor so soon after having the star drill a hole in his skull to relieve blood pressure on the brain was way out there. He would have been off clinical work for a longer time than they had him. Now they are ending the season with him on the cusp of dying with most likely another brain bleed. So, kill off one of the main characters or use it as a grab for the next season. I know the answer and that is so procedural medical drama script. The show House was better. See more Read all reviews
