Review of Saving Hope

As a retired nurse of 50 years, I have watched every medical show from Medic with Richard Boone to the present ones. Somewhere I missed Saving Hope tho until recently, when I found it on ION. I came in early in season 2,but was able to catch up on season 1 on line. I was hooked before the first episode ended. I never watched Stargate or Smallville so was not familiar with the actors portraying Charlie and Alex but immediately felt they were not just actors in a part, they WERE Charlie and Alex. They are excellent! As a nurse, I've seen a lot of hospital "life" and what goes on with both patients, and staff, and Saving Hope is right, on both counts. The story lines for the entire cast are believable, because it's life in a hospital, and who knows how many souls are wandering around the halls, trying to "right" their lives, before they pass on to a better place? I read all the reviews, even spoilers, and was sorry to find Joel dies at the end of season 3. I will miss him, but am sure the writers will continue to keep me glued to my TV.
