Tonight at 9p The CW has just what the doctor ordered by premiering Emily Owens, M.D. after Hart of Dixie.
Emily Owens (Mamie Gummer) has finally graduated medical school and she is ready to start over as in intern. She wants to erase her awkward school years and put her nickname Pits behind her. Only problem is her pre-college arch nemesis Casandra (Aja Naomi King) is also an intern at Denver Memorial Hospital and she is going to make Owens life hell. Luckily for Emily her med school buddy Will (Justin Hartley) is there with her too, but she has major crush on him and has yet to tell him. But then there is Dr Bandari (Necar Zadegan) who is in charge of all of the interns and she is not fan of Emily’s for reasons that are justifiable. Even though Bandari is against her, Dr Ellis (Michael Rady), who is a resident, has taken a shining to her.
As much as it is about the interns trying to learn how to be doctors, it is also about treating their patients. Each week they will solve medical cases and we will watch them grow to be the people we want to take care of us when we are sick.
Now I have to be honest the pilot is a little much as some pilots are, but the second episode is much tamer and I can see this show being around the full season with Hart of Dixie. Plus who doesn’t love have Mamie Gummer and Michael Rady back on weekly television.
