ok, just watched the 1st ep. really like it so far. love the visual attention to detail as a period piece.
thematically it feels a little 'housey' with his drug addiction, prickly personality, and often unwelcome candor but i always liked that character so it works for me. the racial tensions maybe feel a little 'acted' or forced but that would be my only small gripe so far. the acting is decent enough!
and as for the blood and guts - they don't waste any time showing the audience what they've got in store for them (5 minutes in they're attempting to perform an early c-section - i believe?). pretty detailed and not your typical quick shot and camera back on their faces - you're there watching pretty much everything from opening to sewing them up - so maybe something to consider before watching over dinner?
on to the next ep.
