It is a singular piece of work about people, their work and the place in which those people do that work. Not surprisingly, perhaps, it is the people who make the difference, in every aspect of the story being told. ... The way they weave medical procedures together with the emotional histories, involvement and evolution of their characters is extraordinary. And extraordinarily involving.

It seems as though everything on [the broadcast networks's] schedules that isn’t a cop or lawyer show is a doctor show. And yet, somehow, I’ve never seen anything like Lenox Hill before. ... By choosing the doctors they profile there with care, director-producers Ruthie Shatz and Adi Barash capture the astounding range of personalities, specialities and styles of care the medical profession encompasses—and do justice to the many varieties of everyday heroism that take place behind hospital doors. ... The show comes by its emotional resonance honestly.

Right up front, this is not for the squeemish. It's real surgery performed by real doctors. Brain surgery, rectal surgery. about the same level of background depth as ER but all real.

While a deeply moving tribute to those we have lately come to call "heroes," this proves they've been heroes all along. (It was filmed before the pandemic.) A can't-miss beauty.

The show isn’t as comprehensive in its scope as it might be intending at points, but there’s still plenty of fertile storytelling ground where it does focus its attention.

This show honors them and their hard work and you can’t help but feel it in your heart.

It is a documentary, but you find yourself taking the characters to heart – patients and doctors alike – as if you were watching a drama.

The eight-episode first season ends up more emotionally nourishing than intellectually satisfying. ... The show is structured to make you invest in the men as doctors, while our main concerns about Amanda and Mirtha inevitably revolve around their pregnancies (and resolve to work around them). ... I'm fairly sure that for the directors, the contrasts is intentional, and they'd characterize it as reflecting a specific professional gender divide rather than reinforcing it. The effect is nevertheless limiting and limited.

The first season was amazing, so interesting but not too overdramatised. Great watch to think about for a week after watching and then forgetting it existed.

The critics who say this is so good need to be fired And I can tell how many people like the show by watching how many times it's watched over torrents and this show gets zero
