Critics Reviews

Tom Shales Washington Post ER" is an antidote to bad TV... It's the Grand Hotel formula in a hospital, and it works grandly. Feb 4, 2021 Full Review John J. O'Connor New York Times E.R. is more solidly connected with the real world, and it, too, can deliver powerfully affecting scenes. Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Brian Courtis The Age (Australia) Watching people trying to save people works... You soon feel both the soap-opera and the trauma are in good hands. A healthy new arrival. Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News A variety of non-stop cases illustrate the relentless pressure experienced in a life-and-death environment. Off only one first visit, ER would be my doctor choice. Rated: 4/5 Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Jennifer L. Stevenson Tampa Bay Times The pace of ER is sometimes so frenetic, it's hard to keep up. Crichton obviously wants to make grand points, but the moments fly by and with it, the significance. Major points for a diverse cast. Rated: B+ Feb 4, 2021 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal It's more dense than Chicago Hope, but it's every bit as good. Expect stardom for its cast. Rated: A+ Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
