Three Rivers premieres tonight on CBS at 9p and this is a must add show to your TV viewing! The show is about the three sides of organ donation. It tells the story of the donor, the doctor and the donee.
The show stars Alex O’Loughlin and I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that he is what drew to me the show. But what kept me watching is how good the show is. This is not the first show about organ donations, but this the first one I can remember that shows all the parties involved in the donation. In the first two episodes of the shows they deal with families who are not sure about donating the organs of their loved ones and some that want to donate. They deal with donors wanting a new organ and one who doesn’t. It also deals with doctors hoping they can extend someone’s life with the organs of someone else. Sometimes they will be successful and sometimes they won’t get to their patient in time.
Each episode touches your heart and all the actors on the show are excellent as they emotionally draw you in. Alex O’Loughlin is just so warm that you so want him to be your doctor and I don’t mean like that game we played as kids…although I wouldn’t not play with him! This is much different role for Katherine Moennig who is much softer than she was as Shane on The L Word, but she still has that toughness. Daniel Henney is perfect as pretending to be the emotionless doctor who really is a good guy. Christopher J. Hanke is cute as the new assistant who has doesn’t have a medical background and the staff all treat him as you would treat a substitute teacher when you were a kid.
Three Rivers is the perfect show for a Sunday night, so check it tonight and every Sunday on CBS at 9p.
