Episode 1
Pilot
Normally I don't watch any kind of Hospital shows. None. Never. I can't seem to recall watching any in the past 15 years and nothing else is jumping out at me beyond that either. I may have sampled an episode here and there, but I can't remember any other than House. But the promos for
Red Band Society did look promising, but I was still worried that it would be just like every other Hospital Drama that has come down the pipe over the years. As for the
Pilot, I really liked it a lot. I thought the heart of the story (the kids and their cliques) was what sold me on the series. I think they are all great. Solid actors and they have chemistry between each other....another huge plus in my book. I really like the fact that the show is narrated by a kid in a coma. So even though he is "not there", he is the one guiding us through it all. I'm very much on board with this for the time being. If they can produce quality episodes for the rest of the season on this level, the show should be a hit. The rave reviews I have been hearing about the
Pilot is justified.
