About this show

When charismatic Chief of Surgery Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) at Hope-Zion Hospital ends up in a coma, he leaves the hospital in chaos, and his fiancée and fellow surgeon, Alex Reid (Erica Durance), in a state of shock. Along with newly-arrived star surgeon, Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies), Alex races to save Charlie's life. As the action unfolds, comatose Dr. Harris wanders the halls of Hope-Zion in "spirit" form, not sure if he is a ghost or a figment of his own imagination. Alex, along with her fellow doctors, press on to save his life and those of their other patients, as they deal with the often complicated and courageous decisions that are made in their daily struggle to keep hope alive.

Only thing I liked about this show was Joel (Daniel Gillis) and Alex's scenes. The show had a problem with being confusing to follow. I hated the lighting effect, I'm sure it isnt as bad as I make it out to seem but I was only interested in Gillis' performance, anyways. And, really didnt want to take the time to i vest the other characters on the show.

No one ever has had the trama these two had. It got idiotic. I loved the medical cases. The death of Charlie was just a sign that Alex should just become a homeless lady on drugs living under a bridge. Just idiotic!

Dives into Charlie's psyche and why he can't/won't wake up - great reveal and twist. Also learn a bit more about Kinney. All in all, pretty decent ep.
