Critics Reviews for The Resident: Season 1

• “A familiar medical show filled with broad strokes and broad characters that might – like "The Orville” and “9–1–1” – bring some viewers to the party too." – Verne Gay , Newsday
• “Perhaps "The Resident” will click with folks disenchanted with medical care. This show's mix of good acting, melodramatic writing and hospital horror could serve that huge audience." – Hal Boedeker , Orlando Sentinel
• “There's a lot to love about the medical drama. It puts a new spin on the genre by painting veteran doctors as sleazy, power hungry people – a role usually reserved for hospital administration in this kind of show.” – Merrill Barr , Forbes
