I watched the first hour on my computer, and did not notice any humorous moments so far. It is dry-bone real... brutal with no glimpse of hope.

Loved the paramedic, she is wonderful. In fact all characters so far are extremely well acted.

The overworked doctor is great too. Like it or not, this is the reality in which many people live. I have been there... actually far worse (the Romanian hospitals are not the worst), and many scenes here ring true of the situations I have seen.

The actor is amazing as is the supporting cast and the dialogue and plot surprise at every turn. nt - tinear 16:04:52 04/03/10 (6)

  :( Too bad some people can't put one and one together.
  - Huh? Compare Obamacare to Germany, France, or Switzerland. Those are the models. nt - tinear 10:22:02 04/04/10 (4)

        I think you are judging purely by emotional impact - Victor Khomenko 12:33:20 04/05/10 (1)

        It had good moments, but overall it is more like a collection of Etudes, not a complete symphony. It is easy to stimulate the emotions by showing suffering, so they don't get a badge for that.
        
        Lazarescu's acted by a wonderful actor, the script is original, the doctor and several - tinear 07:29:37 04/06/10 (0)

        other hospital folks are memorable, and the suffering is leavened as in the best black comedies.
        I'll see it again and see if it worsens.
