Caught this CBS pilot from Susannah Grant. Jonathan Demme directed the episode. With two giants like this behind the wheel, I expected a show a cut above the normal CSB fare and the duo do not disappoint.
Maybe Patrick Wilson wasn't big enough for the silver screen but he fits perfectly here. He instantly makes you believe everything that's happening.
Well-acted. The problem is, the medical cases presented are blah. Especially when compared to HOUSE or GREY'S ANATOMY or PRIVATE PRACTICE. However, that's not this show's intent. This show is about a character. A heartless doctor that's going to undergo a transformation courtesy of his dead wife's ghost.
That premise can grow old in a hurry though. I don't care how well-acted it is. We'll have to see how this plot thickens. I think it's going to have a hard time holding an audience.
