The current hit, “The Resident” – a gripping medical drama featuring Matt Czuchry and Bruce Greenwood – is currently popular on a streaming platform in the UK.
This American show centers around the diverse staff members at Chastain Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, highlighting their professional responsibilities and personal struggles as they work tirelessly to ensure the well-being of the city’s residents.
Following its debut in 2018, “The Resident” spanned over six seasons and 107 episodes before being terminated in 2023. However, the show continues to thrive in the UK as it now ranks second on 5’s streaming platform.
According to its description, this series is advertised as being “exciting.” The impressive cast includes Emily VanCamp, Manish Dayal, Shaunette Renée Wilson, and Jessica Lucas who are all featured throughout the six seasons.
Beyond a substantial viewer base, the series has also received favorable feedback from audiences, as indicated by Rotten Tomatoes’ overall approval rating of 75%. This sentiment is mirrored in its user rating on IMDb, currently sitting at 7.8 out of 10 based on 41,000 reviews.
As a devoted fan, I’d say that unlike other hospital dramas which merely scratch the surface of the flawed American healthcare system, The Resident stands out as the pioneer that boldly puts it front and center. Granted, there are moments when it veers towards the cheesy, but at its core, it carries a genuine passion.
Another user commented that the compelling characters and captivating narratives, which are equally intriguing on an individual level and as part of the overall season plotline, make for a very appealing offering. Meanwhile, another user admired the engaging storylines and relatable character portrayals.
A different individual expressed their excitement about the series as well, saying: “Frankly, I can’t fathom why some people dislike this program. It’s incredibly engaging and thrilling, with non-stop intense moments, and the characters are fantastic.
One viewer commented that the show effectively blends dramatic elements with humor, tackles genuine hospital-related issues, offers a profound examination of costs, patient care, cover-ups, and maintains a level of realism. Another described it as quite dramatic.
Although The Resident has been revitalized through streaming services, another medical drama, Pulse, unfortunately faced an untimely end. Earlier this month, Netflix announced that they will not continue the series for a second season.
The Resident is streaming now on 5.
The latest print edition from Digital Spy titled “Oasis – Live in ’25” is out now! You can purchase it from your local newsstands or online, currently available for only £8.99.
