Red Band Society:
Episode 1- "Pilot"
The
amount of medical shows I watch can be counted on one finger (Scrubs) due to the fact
that I am a slight hypochondriac. And by slight I mean I'm a crazy-freakazoid
hypochondriac. So I went into this pilot episode expecting to turn it off or at
the very least, not continue on with the series. I was more than surprised that
by the end of the episode, I had fallen in love and I'm sure this will end up
being one of my favorite pilots of the fall season. The acting from all the
kids was above average and I loved Octavia Spencer. My favorite storyline has
to be Charlie's. He's in a coma and he hilariously narrates the show. My favorite scene is when Kara unconsciously falls down, her subconscious and his (Charlie's) subconscious are able to interact and he asks her for a favor. Also very excited to see
Thomas Ian Nicholas in the show who I hope is a regular.
Even
though the topic of the series (youth in the hospital) is pretty depressing, they
find a way to make it uplifting. The pilot episode just has so much heart with
a bit of a Breakfast Club feel to it. I laughed, I cried and I have set my PVR
to series record.
