The series will make its debut as the best medical show on American television, which is something given the competition (even just on NBC). And while it’s a bit early for a full-blown diagnosis, it may turn out to be one of the better dramas the network has ever had. ... The show operates at a very lofty level.

It's not a hugely innovative or adventurous medical drama, but it plays the familiar beats solidly. What the series, created by Joseph Kay, understands is that if you have a good character or two, audiences will embrace an otherwise by-the-numbers medical procedural. Transplant has that and is that.

Transplant may not be as exceptional as the good Dr. Bash, but it does the genre no harm. [14 - 27 Sep 2020, p.11]

Like “New Amsterdam,” “Transplant” is a high-gloss, middle-of-the-road broadcast drama. It’s “ER” with an immigration story overlay, but it doesn’t redefine the medical drama the way “ER” did in 1994.

Transplant feels like two different shows: A gritty one about Bash’s experiences as a doctor in war-torn Syria, and how he brings his life experience to his job; and a standard medical drama with pretty people solving medical mysteries every week. And the two really don’t mix.

I wasn't sure about this one until a few episodes in. But now, I love it and can't wait for season 2. Sure, it's a typical hospital show, but it's the characters that make it different. They have great stories. They are each struggling in their own way, but all come together to do a great job. I also enjoy the way they use flashbacks to further your understanding of Bashir's experience.

So far I have watched 20 minutes of this show and nothing, nothing has stood out to me at all. The dialogue was standard but uninteresting, the interaction between the actors and the story was bad. I saw not one actor that had any charisma whatsoever to make me want to come back and watch it again. And these so-called doctors and nurses were standing around talking about their problems while a patient's lying in bed on all ife support. And then another interaction between staff leads to some nurse getting mad and stomping off. The interactions between these staff members are staged brief and unbelievable at best. This is not a good show at all. I found nothing in it that was worth me watching it again
Chicago med is the best medical show on TV right now and it puts this show to shame. This show will be short-lived., at least that is my hope!
