Anyone want to join me watching ER from series 1?

I recently decided to start watching ER right from the start.
I'm on TikTok and clips of medical dramas (House, Grey's Anatomy) always come up for me, and it made me think Why don't I just watch whole episodes of something?
In the 90s my Mum and older brother always watched ER on a Wednesday night on channel 4 but I was bit too young initially. I later got into it, in the series with Dr Kovacj and Abby.

It's all on Channel 4. I'm about 4 episodes in and loving it! I want to talk about the episodes with someone though!

I will one day but I have started a heap of american shows from years ago thanks to a friend overseas getting me on to them I cant keep up but I will try soon

I used to love ER - it lost its way a bit after a few series, I thought - but I'd watch it again. Do you watch every day? I'd only have time to watch an episode or two every week.

I'd love to but I'm five series deep in criminal minds

Oh we've made it to series 13! Daughter got mad at what one couple were doing to each other so has refused to watch it for a while, but we are so close to the end!

it lost it after pratt died.

I watched it faithfully until then.

After that the characters could not fill the boots of the old

I tried awhile ago, but oh my is it preachy. Lost the will to live.

I love ER, got them all on DVD from when they first came out. Cannot abide Abby though, she's such a joy sucker so I always used to FF her scenes.

I have just finished watching it (again) 😂. Brilliant series! Michael Crichton and Steven Spielberg, geniuses!

I need a series so might give it a go as I used to watch religiously on Weds nights with the rest of the family. Good bit of nostalgia!

i have started watching it, after a thread on here,
now series 2

Am up to season 12, loving it! Was also a religious watcher of the early series in the past but kind of petered out as it went on, I keep thinking I'm watching new episodes but then I'll remember a scene.

I tried but didn’t feel it had aged well. Just couldn’t engage with it in the first few episodes. It was dated and felt badly filmed… sad as I was a huge fan.

MyCircumference · 14/10/2023 08:40

it is rather preachy, but very fast paced

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I'm currently pretty much bed-bound with Hyperemesis so have time to watch 1 or 2 episodes a day! I'm on about episode 7. I appreciate most people have lives and won't have that much time.

If you just watch at a slower pace but want to jump on the thread and say like "I just watched episode 2, and I thought xyz about it" feel free as I will only have watched it really recently.
