The Clinic (I) (2003–2009)
4/10
Nothing But a Soap Opera
1 May 2023
The concept is fine, the acting is pretty solid, and the writing is good. However, The Clinic is nothing more than a nighttime soap opera, filled with characters with myriad foibles. (As an aside, if this is an example of socialized medicine I want no part of it.) We have two doctors married to each other who "run" the clinic, but it is actually managed by the reception desk. The main objective for watching each episode is to guess who is cheating on whom with whoever. Who is secretly lusting after whom? Will the accountant ever win over the receptionist? Will the fired receptionist ever kill herself, or will she return to the clinic as a patient and continue her pursuit of the doctor? Pretty boring stuff.
