It's really really good, but towards the end I felt like they were really basking in the limelight for a bunch of "big character moments" and it started to feel like it was straying into daytime tv. I don't know what it was. 

It was only a few moments but it took me out a bit. 

Overall though, incredible show with some really great characters. Gale King being the standout if say (other than robinovitz of course)

I felt the same. It was just “off”…structured like a 90s show complete with cast members inserted just to deliver one-liners like it was filmed in front of a live audience at Cheers.

It had major tone problems…and it was really dumb to pack every single medical situation they could think of into one shift.

That's a good way to put it, yes. It was his old war buddy chiming in with quippy, against the grain commentary that kept taking me out. It's a shame but his whole character is just "one liner guy"

The show almost entirely left my head in between watching it and this post…which doesn’t speak well for the show…

…but I do remember there was a clown delivering one liners for an episode or two? Did that happen? Some of it reminded me of that terrible John Larroquette bus station show where they just thought you needed a lot of doors into a main room for a show to be good. No joke. It was half hard hitting drama…half 90s sitcom. Not great.
