shallownessWell, it filled a Ghosts-shaped gap last night, seeing as it's also a half a hour show.
Cardiac Arrest - 1.3 The Killing Season
More unbearable pressure put on Monica what with the unfiltered sexism from her male surgical colleagues, demanding job and phone calls from her demanding husband, and though Raj made an effort, he wasn’t really the person to confide in. Him falling for the ‘my, you’re a tall lady who came with this other guy, oh, you’re a man’ was…I dunno meant to be risqué, even though it mainly felt telegraphed. Mainly, I was jolted by the fact that ‘Boom, boom, shake shake the room’ was playing at the work party, because I associate it with my young teens, not a boozy adult party.
More conscientious Andrew blaming himself for the death of a patient, when the more experienced doctors pointed out that with all her cancers and her renal failure, his failure to follow up one test result might not have saved her. Anyway, the cringing at Andrew interacting with relatives continues.
I was amused by Betancourt getting relatively emotional with Claire (in the ‘oh, I wonder if my wife has noticed a spring in my step now I’m cheating with you,’) and she apologised for being miles away. In her ‘cold fish’ way, she was kind to Andrew. The point that August was the killing season because the inexperienced (and sleep-deprived) newbie doctors like Andrew and Raj were unleashed was brutally made.
In the midst of all that, we got a little more of a sense of what was going on with the (almost exclusively female) nurses.
