ER rewatch netflix

[ThePlatypusAlwaysTriumphs]

Was an avid ER fan 20+ yes ago. See its now on netflux, started rewatching. Its so superior to anything I have watched recently on TV. I had forgotten just how good it was! Anyone else?

It really did- and as I didn't watch Third Watch at the time (and certainly am not goin tot track the crossover episode down now, even if I can!)- it was just confusing!
US show writers love their crossover episodes/backdoor pilots though- Shondaland is littered with them

Plus, I never liked Chloe- it was enough that Susan was back, why was I suddenly supposed to care about the sister and 'Little Susie' after 5 years? There were enough characters in the actual show to bother with.

Was it a cross over show? I didn’t realise that 🤦‍♀️ they sort of makes more sense I suppose.

I don’t really like any of the shows where they go outside of the ER, I’ve just watched all the African ones which are pretty grim. I quite liked the Benton one when he went to the South and I make an exception for the Marks death episodes 😢😢

Im pretty shocked at Franks open racism, would that have just been accepted at that time? I feel like it wouldn’t have been in the UK.

Just finished! Wowzers! So good!

Just saw Gallant in the newest episode of Grey's Anatomy 🤯
He has aged very well

I loved that Third Watch crossover too @Usernamenotfound1

Edited to add sorry I didn't read you post properly 😆

I'm just on to season 14 now. Season 13 I struggled with and found it hard to engage with a lot of the characters. I do really like Abbie but none of the other stories grabbed me and I don't like how Neela develops after randomly marrying Gallant. I also don't like how they have her blurting out British swear words like bollocks, wanker and pissed off all the time. The other characters barely swear and it just sounds fake. I think at this point first time around I was dipping and in and out so a lot of this feels new to me.

Also, I massively dislike Gates. He is rude, belligerent and unbelievably arrogant with no redeeming features. I feel he's like a souped up Doug Ross in the way he breaks the rules but he lacks his charm (I don't share the hate for Doug on here) and good looks, plus Doug come across as really caring about 'kids', while Gates just seems to break the rules because he can and so he can get into yet another argument with someone. He's a real turn off for me.

It took me a while to place him. He does look good.

I think I spend most of my time on IMDB when I'm watching things, these days .

Currently on Series 6….

I am absolutely disgusted that Doug hasnt turned up to help Carol with the twins!!

I mean obviously he’s been written out the show but surely the script writers must see how utterly ridiculous this is??

They needed to have killed him off or something to make this even remotely plausible!

As if he’d have just left her to get on with it?!

Yeah I think you’re expected to suspend belief re Doug not helping with the twins a bit like when Doug and Carol don’t turn up at Marks wedding or funeral!

I think Carol mentions at one point that he is visiting them or something but yeah killing him off would have made more sense 🙈😂

Carol and Doug are easily the least attractive characters and the least accomplished actors.

Mark, Carter and Elizabeth are my favourites ❤️

Dr Romano is a bit of a twat isn’t he!!
