Featured reviews
Dr. Amy Wolcott's miraculous recovery from a crash that erased eight years of memories but left her physically unscathed stretches medical credibility beyond repair. The show's premise - that a trauma severe enough to cause such specific retrograde amnesia wouldn't result in serious physical injuries or brain damage - is neuroscience fantasy at its most egregious. Watching her confidently stride hospital halls arguing for her right to practice medicine - while apparently suffering no cognitive deficits beyond the convenient plot-serving memory gap - feels like watching a medical drama written by someone whose only research was reading soap opera summaries. The show sacrifices scientific plausibility for dramatic convenience, undermining its own attempts at serious storytelling.
I see viewers chiding it for not being medically realistic. Go to hospital wards for reality. This is a TV Show. Follow the storyline, enjoy the plot and leave reality out of it, because it will never be reality. Go outside and have a life, so when you sit down in front of the TV you'll acknowledge it for what it is - a show!
Otherwise, the movie is a 10/10. I enjoyed watching it. The acting was splendid, so was the actors. This movie is captivating! Sent me on my knees! Totally loved it!!!
If you need medically realistic, visit a hospital ward. If you need a nice show to enjoy, grab a tissue and a popcorn, and get ready to have your mind blown!

This is based on an Italian series, which is based on Dr. Pierdante Piccioni. It stars Molly Parker as Amy Larsen, who used to be a curt chief of internal medicine at a hospital. Due to a car accident, she suffers a traumatic brain injury that causes her to lose memories of the last 8 years of her life, plus changes her personality.
There are medical mysteries in each episode, like a woman who is challenged by not being able to feel pain, also, each episode moves Amy's story along quickly. It also has a tangled web love story that may not be so easy to untangle without hurt. It is a bingeable, interesting show on Fox and Hulu.

I think this is a very well-acted and enjoyable show to watch so far. Please keep it on the air and give it a chance. Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. 😔 So far the story lines are not too overly complicated to follow, which is good when you're watching TV at night. What's appealing about show is that it gives people a chance to know that they can have a "redo" moment in their lives. It's a TV show about self-reflection in what we can do to improve upon ourselves. The lead character in the show unfortunately got into a car wreck, but if we all had the opportunity to re-examine our lives it would be a wonderful thing.
