Saving Hope is a rare gem of a show. It not only brings the medical world to life, but also the often overlooked dilemmas which medics,patients and loved ones battle with as life is saved or lost on a daily basis.Not for this show the slick, ultra cool over production of many USA dramas,this show is driven by the emotions. Story and character come first which gives this show a more humane feel. There is a reality, both in the writing and the performances of the actors which drags you into the show and you feel actual empathy with them.
Each episode contains the expected mini story lines which the characters play parts in, but intertwined with those is the main sub plot of the two main characters and their battle to recover what they have lost. There is no "happy ever after" answer to their plight, and so their interaction with all is tainted by their emotions. We get to see all sides of the stories told. From the medical practicalities, the patients fear, the recently departed,s regret/anger etc. This is something which is sadly lacking in some medical dramas which can often mean the viewer is left with a rather one sided impression of the situation. The writing, production and acting in the show are consistently to a high standard, with exceptional performances from the main actors. Watching this show makes you want to see more. I hope it continues for further seasons and that the characters continue to evolve. I also hope that Charlie does wake up eventually, but with the long road of recovery that a coma can demand,I,m sure there are many more brilliant episodes to come.......I can only Hope.......
