I'm intrigued about mental diseases. So I began to watch this series.
This is the second episode for me, and I tried to concentrate in the story, rather in the similarities with another series (i.e., the relationship between Vogler /Chase in House M.D., and Bell /Suárez here), the little bias (the doctor who committed fraud in his resume is a Latin, oh!), and the eternal and uncomfortable smile of Dr. Gallagher. But, what the heck, he's so handsome I can forgive him. Therefore, I considered the story about the patient, Gideon Graham (the late David Carradine), really interesting. He and his wife were struck by a lightning when he took her to a cliff in the middle of a storm. She died, and he's in a catatonic condition since then. What happens with his mind? Where is he? They tried everything, without results, and now a different approach is in consideration: TMS therapy. Graham have some strange physical reactions after that, and Gallagher is really digging into his mind, convinced that he reached somewhere: is Graham reluctant to face the world? Is he really there, but hiding? The images and scenes of his inner world are great. And the mystery and the solution unravels in an interesting way. Just forget the last scene, when the good looking doctor gets the beautiful, sensual, intelligent and famous model patient's daughter. Why??? I could buy all the story, but, why this??? Sounded like an old series from the 80s, when good boy gets the good girl, oh my.
