5 Quality Medical Dramas to Check Out While Waiting for Grey's Anatomy Season 20
For those who already binged the whole show already — there’s more to see!
Frankly, it seems that medical dramas are the longest-running trend on television and no matter what time you turn on the TV, you will definitely see a person in a white coat.
One of the most popular shows now is Grey’s Anatomy with Ellen Pompeo as the leading star for 19 seasons. But it’s not the only medical drama worth watching. There are several more series in the genre that are must-sees.
1. House
It’s probably one of the most innovative shows with the most unexpected twists in almost every episode. The main character, Dr. Gregory House, brilliantly played by Hugh Laurie, is the most complicated person in the series. His day-to-day life consists of dealing with fascinating cases, and the show emphasizes the importance of teamwork.
2. ER
This perfect show follows the lives of struggling workers in the emergency medicine field. The series features many complex storylines, most of which involve unprecedented hospital scenarios. The cast of the show is also fascinating — George Clooney himself is starring.
3. Scrubs
This is the example of the show that finally gives us a fresh comedic take on the everyday life of medical workers. There are still a lot of extremely complex cases that the staff has to deal with, but the biggest part of the show is actually the stories of the characters as they all try hard to live a normal life, find love, and be successful.
4. The Good Doctor
The show has caused a stir on the Internet because the main character of the show, although a surgeon, actually has autism. The series, featuring Freddie Highmore as the extraordinary Dr. Shaun Murphy, portrays a person with unique abilities and challenges as he navigates life in the hospital.
5. St. Elsewhere
St. Elsewhere is a classic medical drama that shows all the struggles a Boston hospital faces every day. The show has it all: drama, humor, and complex yet fascinating characters. The cast of the show is also worth mentioning: Denzel Washington, Ed Flanders, and Howie Mandel have done an excellent job of creating the believable atmosphere of the hospital workplace.
