MDs

2002 · 1 season

A brisk, issue-driven hospital drama where idealistic doctors battle a penny-pinching bureaucracy, mixing medical crises with corporate cynicism.

Overview: Medicine could be a lucrative business if it weren't for all those sick people. So goes the motto of the mega-sized, mega-frugal HMO that runs Mission General Hospital in San Francisco, where two renegade doctors bend the rules and find the loopholes in a constant quest to treat their patients. Together, they practice medicine with a take-no-prisoners attitude and don't-take-no-for-an-answer tactics.
How it feels: Tense, cynical, earnest and satirical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Class, power, corruption, justice
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
