Okay, seriously this show is jumping the shark.
I enjoyed it a lot, but season 4 is beating us over the brow with the wokeness, and I generally never use that phrase or care about any of that.
*SPOILERS*
Season 4 begins with a few episodes that are a nod to the current pandemic, they were good and tasteful episodes.
Then we get new residents. They are trying their damndest to hit the diversity bingo. 2 black girls, one of which constantly undermines her boss and is insubordinate
and a gay, Jewish, atheist, guy who is so feminine he seems like a woman in drag. There is also a tall, cocky, white guy. You know his character, the same generic, rich, prep-school types that play rapists in movies like
Joker and
The Equalizer. Since he is obviously a cishet, white, male, everytime he opens his mouth the girls scream at him about "mansplaining" and he is not selected that episode, he is more like the butt of the joke.
Episode 5 (the last one I watched and barely made it through) involved a case of a woman coming into the hospital with a guy she's known for 8 days. Turns out she needs emergency brain surgery due to a dermoid cyst and her husband must be called in to make the life-changing decision. He finds out she was whoring around on him and is angry.
The show reinforces the "male cheater bad/ female cheater good" stereotype that is all too prevalent in Hollywood. The doctors convince him to get back with her, the husband decides to be a good cuck, and takes her back. Now, the reason I add that to part of the "woke" list is because there was an episode a few seasons back where a guy was cheating (with Dr. Claire Brown) and the show treated him like the scumbag he was. This is actually
the second storyline in the show of an unfaithful wife being forgiven by the cuck husband.
What's going on? The writing is getting weak and pandering.
