At times it's hard to tell which is less compelling - the relationships among the hospital staff or the brief glimpses of patients' life-and-death battles, which culminate quickly, if not always satisfactorily.June 07, 2012
Though the show promises to deliver a new twist on the genre, Saving Hope's focus on recycled hospital drama storylines and one-note characters feel more like a Very Special episode of Private Practice.June 07, 2012
Half of the show is a tonal mess, and the other half is bland mush.June 07, 2012
Its characters are comparatively compelling even when they're falling a little short.June 07, 2012
You've definitely got to disengage your brain to sit through an episode.June 07, 2012
The characters are so appealing that I wonder whether the show wouldn't have been fine without the weirdness.June 07, 2012
A sober, intelligent, placidly paced drama as only the Canadians can make. Saving Hope is better than probably even NBC realizes.June 07, 2012
We've seen this kind of manipulative, heartstring-tugging material before and it's not written well enough here to make it interesting again.June 07, 2012
As short-term entertainment, this could fit the bill quite nicely.June 07, 2012
It just doesn't give you much to hang onto.
