The show is a fantasy, it is also some type to criticism of how teenagers live these days. There is a whole generation of young people who grew up with media, social media, computers and phones as an appendix to their bodies. the show imagines, and goes beyond, what would mean to live without any of those things, really listening and seeing what is around us I don't think it is supposed to be realistic, since it is fantasy. I do think that it is, in part, meant to be aspirational. Not that every teenager should go out in the wild and learn how to forage but the story is meant to maybe inspire them (any of us really) to see what is around us and that we have been too busy looking down on our phones and devices to see and appreciate What I didn't understand is the death of the parents, and the lack of AMBER alerts. But it is a beautifully made show and I can live with the lack of coherence.

If the writing had been better in the pilot, I would agree with you . With the information I have about the ability of the writers to be original in a not absurd way, there is no doubt in my mind that they will go there What is that?

I thought it was awful, even by current TV standards. Ships don't send their staff in fancy speed boats to a beach to build a bar and have a party. This is just ridiculous. I don't expect the show to portray the real abuses that happen between the companies and their employees, but the party segment was pathetic Just wait for an explosion, an epidemic, a hostage situation, a fire, the captain being unable to perform and the doctor saving the day, all the days. Or the nurse practitioner, she is just too perfect. Of course, at some point one, of more of them will be at the brink of death. Did I forget any recycled material of shows like this one?

Jumping here because only now I am watching this show. It is bad writing through and through. Nothing makes sense. My forever peeve with all shows is how little interest most of them have in continuity. The kid's ages are all over the place. Little Stacey started at 6 or 7. Then in the later seasons one character says it's been 8 years but eh girl looks like she is still 11. Trevor started as a 10 year-old but when he is supposedly 14, he still needs to ride in the back seat of the car. I know exactly zero teenagers that would put up with this. As already mentioned the citizenship stuff is pure bullshit. For starters, nobody jumps from undocumented to citizen with an interview. You cannot stay in the country. It takes a lot of paperwork and definitely an attorney. IF you do everything right then yes, you have your interview and you do get the citizenship approved right there. Then they schedule the day of the ceremony when you receive your papers. The futuristic bullshit is so out there, I can't even. Joanie is another depressed character. Why can't people just be happy for a minute in this how? Only when they have sex? By the way, the sex scenes are cliche. Not everyone moans and have orgasms. Not realistic. The constant jumping and turning. And as always, they all need the sex all the time, to grieve, to solve problems, to start problems, to shut up. Sarah Treem (is that her name) is just too full of herself and thinks she can write. A collection of platitudes and horny characters are the only ting she has. And I will comment here since the other forum is closed: I don't care how Alison died but if she was murdered, the leading up to that was pretty ridiculous, and the murderer was just a flat, one sided character. If she committed suicide, it was equally pathetic because there was no character development in that moment to indicate she was so depressed. The show failed in so many way, I don't think there is a silver lining to be found

I am very late to this affair but I started watching it and it took me only a few episodes to jump into hate watch. The show is very bad. It is arrogant and almost every time a character engages in a monologue-type thing, it is just platitudes. The words make no sense at all. If I were to take notes, I could write a novel about how bad the show is. Some scenes in the second season (I think) are pure pornography. I don't need a close up of a man digging his hands inside his pants, or inside the woman's pants. I don't need all that sex that lack sensuality. All the characters are sex driven, all seem to be fixed, or vented, through sex. It is annoying and it looses the meaning really fast. Sensuality does't need naked bodies and all the jumping and panting. The creator wanted to "go further" on something. To me it is pornography, it is ugly and it lasts way too long. I think we are supposed to hate everyone? I do. Alison is pathetic. A child. Can't see her a a mother. Noah is an ass. I wish they all had died soon. Helen and her brood love to scream at each other, in public. I thought Luisa was going to be ok, she became a cliche pretty fast. Cole's family are just a bunch of horrible people. The writing is so inconsistent, each episode gives the character a completely different personality - I am on season 3 now and cannot say how many Noahs are there. It is like watching a bad version of Sybil The actors: cannot see the appeal of "Noah" as attractive in any way. To me, he is repulsive. Sorry, can't even look at him without making a face of disgust. Eyes of the beholder "Helen" and "Alison" have the same pouting mouth. It took me a while to figure out what was distracting to me, in their faces. Specially Ruth Wilson. The oversized upper lip. the mouth often slightly open, she is Marge Simpson, a cartoon. Sorry again. It distracts me. Julia Goldani cannot act. She can scream, for sure. She can be overdramatic, but that's not acting. For the little I saw about the creator of the show, she should tried another career. There, vented.

just an aside: I had a recent experience with a neurodivergent doctor. Not sure if he is autistic or what but definitely neurodivergent. Doesn't like to spend too much time with the patient or family members, says what he has to say and then he is gone. He only does advanced testing but after the test, again, only the basics. It made me think: great he is in the "top" of his area and that people respect him - at least outwardly. But he could also do better. He doesn't have to engage with patients more than he is able to but he might have an assistant with whom he could share his findings so there is more of a clarity to us, the ones who get nervous about results and prognosis, but have nobody to actually explain the possible outcomes and prognostic. Instead we have to wait for over a week to get results we can't really interpret In this context, the show made Shaun really rise up, even if I still hate how completely missed the mark in some of the plots where autism and overload, reaction to this would play out.

Kalu treating Claire is not what bothering me. It is the amputation happening with TWO DOCTORS in the OR. A little inspo porn in the end, Shaun listing his accomplishments "despite being autistic". But at least they inserted the acknowledgement that nobody makes it on their own, people need people and even savant autistic people need people. Predictable ending, with everyone happy and thriving, even staying in the same hospital forever. It was a rushed sesaon but I don't think a regular season would bring anything new or better, that's just how the writing happened in this show

I noticed that too and it was the only thing I liked about the wedding, really. I don't find weddings and planned proposals romantic at all. I find them awkward and too planned, rehearsed to be romantic. One wedding in my whole long life touched me, and it was because the bride decided to go to her pianist friend and sing to the groom. I hate Glassman's story line. Too much drama to be crammed with even more drama about drugs, with a completely unrealistic decision of a drug addict to listen to a story and completely turn around on her decision to get clean. Too much drama for a full length season, way more for a shortened one I hope we don't see Glassman die

I finally watched the episode. I thought the whole testing, not testing Steve, and conflicts between Lea and Shaun was well done, for this show's standards. Still a little too easily resolved but I guess there is no time for a longer, more realistic debate. I also don't think the writers would be able to produce anything good from a more nuanced subject. But it was good to see Shaun grow up a little. Didn't care for the rest. Can't stand Park anymore, the doctor side, He is way too perfect and can do anything, anytime, anywhere, and the outcomes are always great.

Looking for signs of autism is what he should be doing but anyone informed would not say that an infant might be autistic. They would say that the child shows signs of developmental disability. As they become toddlers, it might be more evident which way they are going, although it is not definitive and it varies depending on the dominant characteristics. My family is going through this right now. A kid who is three, and is clearly developmentally disabled, but not yet clear if it is autism, ADHD, or anything in between - or more than one diagnosis. In this case, she is thriving in school, which is accepting and completely involved in her own time of development. The doctors still don't have a diagnosis, and she is having therapies for general skill building and relationship (Play therapy). Because she is in another country and schooling there is different, aides are not something they have, and the school is - luckily - really good at what they do, nobody is really concerned about the final diagnosis as long s she is getting the stimulation and showing growth

Park is back as Super!Park! He can do ANY surgery with only one resident and one nurse! Maybe he could take care of the babies at the same time, why hire a nanny? I don't know why they have an autistic consultant if they will write shit like "Steve might be showing early signs of autism" - from a character who is a doctor! Well, at least this part is consistent. Most doctors don't even hear the word "autism" until they meet one autistic person. Not even autistic doctors apparently. An autism diagnosis is not given until after at least 2 years old. Developmental delays can be just a phase, a matter of the forming personality, or it can be something other than autism. That's one reason why they cannot diagnose babies right away. So ridiculous. And why did Shaun seemed so disappointed that Steve might be autistic? There is a good chance he will and doesn't he have any pride? Or is he just another Shiny Autistic who only values the savant ones? Yikes!

I hate those breaks. I was already very disappointed with the show, now I don't remember anything really. Just an idea of where the show stands

I didn't really like the episode. The celebration of life was touching, until Jordan decided to speak her mind. I cannot stand her, the self-righteousness, the arrogance. She should not be a doctor, if she refuses care based on her feelings. It was way over the top, the mass casualties, all of them in one hospital. It defies my ability to suspend disbelief. And surprise! The hospital actually has 8 other surgeons, but of course they are all in some conference. They should have told Park to suit up in his super-surgeon gear and operate on everyone, with only one resident and one nurse. I mean, he can do micro surgery, orthopedics, brain surgery and any other modality without a single test to clear the patients. Surely he would be able to save them all. I thought it was a waste and I had a hard time watching to the end, so bored I was.

I don't think that's the main reason for medical prfessionals wearing masks. Surgical masks are to protect doctors from getting bodily fluids on them. We do know that those masks don't protect against airborne viruses for example. I think in some situations, like burn victims, the doctors and nurses need to suit up to protect the patient In my recent surgery, on my hand, only one person had the mask on when i arrived in the OR. One of the nurses and another person were unmasked at that point

Yes, I am curious too. And I am curious about the reaction Lim and Glassman will have. It is like they wanted to "pair" Charlie and Shaun to "help" Shaun evolve. But that's a little infantilizing because Shaun could be a teacher to another student. It all goes back to the overwriting on unnecessary drama in a very short season. All will end well in a most unrealistic way
