OFF THE MAP - Season 1.2 - SMILE. DON'T KILL ANYONE

It's GREY'S ANATOMY in a South American country that actually looks like Hawaii.

The pilot had a guy with a stingray attached to his leg.  This episode has a guy with a humongous anaconda wrapped around his body.  Those are great visuals but how many of these exotic medical emergencies can they come up with?

Episode fleshes out our main characters.  So far, no one is really jumping out of the screen at me.  Zach Gilford and Caroline Dhavernas don't have enough screen presence. 

The bit about Cheech Marin as the village curandero is corny.  Is he going to continually show up in this role? 

The lush location helps but the show isn't about the outdoor scenery.  So far, outside of the snake and stingray, the series isn't rising above the riffraff.
