The series, which became an example for imitation in the field of medical subjects in cinema, began exactly at the beginning of the third millennium, and when it ended, just started the Russian “Interns”, which many accuse of plagiarism with “Clinic” and “Doctor House”, and many call them “pathetic” plagiarism. There are a lot of parallels between the Clinic and the Interns: Bulls are Dr. Cox, Kisegach is Jordan, Kupitman is Kelso (the difference is mainly only in position), Varya is Elliott, plus some scenes and episodes are copied and undisguisedly adapted to Russian realities - I write all this for the younger generation, who since childhood were fans of the Interns, being brought up on the product of the TNT channel, without knowing about the Oscar-winning foreign originals, from which our take an example. Similar analogies are observed between “Friends” and “Univer”, and they did take place, but for a certain percentage of the Russian audience, our productions are closer and dearer to the heart than foreign originals, which they simply cannot understand. “Clinic” is not a series over which you can dress up, unlike “Friends”, “How I Met Your Mother” and “The Big Bang Theory” (although witty humor still exists here, only it causes a desire rather not to laugh, but to smile, but there are also completely killer moments). The series began at a time when for seven years "Friends" have been amusing the whole world, and they were left to last another three years, and, although the comparison was inevitably in favor of "Friends", this did not prevent "Clinic" also become a super hit. The actors signed up for the project, most of whom played in the project until the end (the end of the series can be considered the penultimate eighth season, because the ninth turned out to be something like an appendix, clearly clogged - an allegory in the the theme of the series: the final season showed no one the needless incompetent continuation of the project, which ended in the finale of the eighth season on the most positive note).
Of course, the authors of the series had to try not to offend people suffering from various diseases in reality - this is the problem of all medical sitcoms, because it is useless to laugh at diseases, and they do not shoot a comedy of black humor where you can mock pain and death. The series is not immoral - on the contrary, it constantly raises themes of friendship, support, compassion, and, of course, love. When someone dies in the series, no one suggests laughing at it - the tragedy here is presented as a tragedy: the authors knew that you need to be able to separate patties from flies. The main character of the series named John Dorian is a terrible loser, in which for sure many losers in real life recognized themselves - this character believes, empathizes and waits for him to be lucky. The love line of this character with one of the main characters looks very touching, and sometimes even heartbreaking - this pair resembles Ross and Rachel from Friends, who also "converged and diverged" (the series will even feature someone from the crew of Friends in the role of himself, and the couple in the spotlight will be directly compared with Ross and Rachel). John Dorian is a kind and sympathetic person who is haunted by failures, including on the love front, but he is never betrayed by a loyal friend-African-American Turk, who also found love in the walls of the clinic, but he, unlike JD, has a life quite well. JD does not like to drink beer and whiskey - he prefers an apple martini, despite the fact that everything is fine with his orientation, unlike the son of the chief physician Kelso (who remained behind the scenes, appearing only in mentions of his father). Over the young specialists (who at the beginning of the series enter the internship, as well as graduates of the medical school in the first series of "Interns"), the head is put Dr. Cox - a high-level professional who is not mistaken, but he always carries the brain, especially tearing off his subordinates (fearing only Carla - Latina, who knows how to put any arrogant in his place in both Spanish and English). The head nurse often reads religious lectures, being a zealous Catholic, and the janitor, like Dr. Cox, is an amateur to carry out the brain (for which he creates a “think tank”), and the main object for bullying he will choose, of course, the main character.
The life of the characters in the series does not stand still, unlike some stupid sitcoms in which, no matter what series you include, it does not matter, since there are no global changes in the characters - here everyone builds a personal life as much as possible, someone will eventually have children. The series has many episodes with fantasy characters, which are often a complete thrash. Humor on the subject of sex here a lot, as in “Friends” (note to those who scold Russian sitcoms for vulgarity). By the way, if you compare the “Clinic” and “Friends” in viewing by a Russian person, it is worth noting that the translation of “Clinic” is simply brilliant, with an ideal transfer of emotions and vocabulary, which can not be said about the translation of “Friends”, which is better to watch the original with subtitles (although, of course, for those who watched in the 90s on TV, that translation is nostalgia, as well as one-voiced ones with cassettes). In the series, a full set of wonderful stories about the everyday life of a city hospital, getting into which it is desirable to have insurance (American capitalism is a terrible force), and the characters do their work on conscience, as well as the writers who invented these characters and breathed into them a life full of passions both inside and outside the hospital. A great show (except for the ninth season).
8 out of 10
The worst thing about being lonely is when there are so many people around. -
The 'clinic' is my laughter, my tears, my depression, my anger, my shame and my endless love.
I would like to write a huge post where I will praise and scold the series. I've already written a few volumes of notes, but it's better to just share emotions. After all, while watching, I fell in love and hated, felt shame and sadness, laughed at jokes and got lost in all these endless love polygons. The Clinic was never my TV series from that time. So, a couple of episodes will flash on an already defunct TV channel. But I only remember the bombshell. It's different now.
Now I love the first and second seasons for the laid-back lightness of humor and the unbearable weight of the drama. The third season is very strange, and for me even too controversial. Slowly wearying me with his 'wonderful love stories', suddenly gives out the best series not only of the whole series, but of all times and peoples. The fourth is like the first two seasons again, and it only gets better. More episodes will suddenly come in flashbacks, and you will cry at the bus stop or scream with laughter in your sleep. Season eight is the finale. Here you say goodbye to heroes as best friends, promise to remember them sometimes, wipe away tears. After all, they are cute jerks who harmlessly hate in one episode, because “you’re such a creature that pisses me off,” and then suddenly you empathize so much that this is already a clinic.
In the title of most of the series "Clinics" there is a capitalist pronoun "Mine". That was eight seasons. The ninth converted to communism, replacing "Mine" with "Our", and after 12 episodes collapsed. But it's not the Clinic anymore. It's the Clinic. University. New dorm. I don't like the new screensaver. But even from it, after a few episodes, Jedi was drunk, who was there originally. I never laughed like that. It reminded me of an old meme about Stalin and people disappearing from the photo. Now in the "Clinic" new main characters. New story. And you know what I think about all this? Jokes are funny. There's drama. A little empty, but not too bad. The new heroes are even beginning to be liked. And I've come to terms with the new rules of the game and the unspiritual screensaver as the season is over and that's it. The end. The show closed. The impression of the finale of the eighth season is smeared, because we have already said goodbye to all the characters, as in the ninth season old characters break in (as if nothing happened), and then they are thrown back into the cold. We had to go to the end and shoot the tenth season, or not to do the ninth at all. It’s just a season in a vacuum. I don't like it very much, but it could have been worse.
The series “Clinic”, released at the outset of the television era, became an unsuccessful hybrid of “Friends” and “ER”. “Clinic” is not about doctors – with the same success, the main characters could live and act in the interiors of a bank, police station or university. The main thing is that what they were doing was prestigious in the eyes of the public, and for the American viewer, the “halatic” still socially adorns a person. Hardly anyone would like to follow the development of careers and relationships of employees “Walmart” or “McDonald’s”.
Unlike the classic youth series, the Clinic has only one main character, through whose eyes the viewer looks at the hospital world and whose thoughts about what is happening listen in a voiceover. The mammalian JD is weakly drawn to a role model, his failures on the professional and personal front cause a completely different reaction in the viewer. He is sorry, he wants to sympathize, but did the author of the series and the performer of the main role Zach Braff thought that someone wanted to be in solidarity with him? What if someone says, “I’m Bill and I’m a loser, I like JD because he’s not afraid to show us that it’s okay to be a loser?”
In the "racially diverse" set of main characters of the movie California hospital, there was no place for Asians and Mexicans, the majority of the state's population. But this is not so important, because even the permanent characters of “Clinic” serve to fill the world of JD, they are not allowed to live their own lives, the development of their storylines is predictable.
Jokes "Clinic" at times funny, but the abundance of pantomime and the use of special effects immediately shift them into a children's and adolescent ward. And for younger audiences, the cynical hospital humor, on the contrary, turns out to be too adult. The series began to lose popularity with the third season, began the years of struggle for survival, which he lost. Yeah, Zach Braff is really not Superman. And not Jerry Seinfield.
If you are looking for something to cheer yourself up and you are not tired of the topic of medicine - the clinic is perfect. Bright characters, funny gags, a lot of curves and everyday problems of ordinary people. Old school.
It seems that all my reviews are a collection of “video kits” that work to improve and strengthen my psyche. I can recommend my reviews as an antidepressant. And the series "Clinic" is just what you need. The necessary proportion of humor, pleasant storytelling and medical style. It's cool, too.
The script is perfect, especially for me! Plus, a kind, friendly atmosphere that can make anyone smile and even change their mood! By the way, I have already watched this series 2 times and do not plan to stop. Because apparently the childhood desire to become a doctor is compensated when I watch the series.
You can see how interns come to the clinic and eventually turn into cool doctors. I love what happened at the American hospital. There is routine, fun, live stories, and at the same time a pinch of philosophy, so that there is no impression that you are entertaining without stopping.
Beautiful heroes, love stories, empathy and a lot of interesting life turns. It's worth watching the series for. Muzon, who plays in the beginning of the series separate love.
I especially like Dr. Cox’s character. He's kind of like Dr. Chaos, but it's not an exact replica, it's just an eternally nagging skeptic doctor. Funny with his grumbling and sarcasm. Of course, there was no black humor. This is what most of the series is about. And also, the constant fantasy of the main character JD, I love it. Their friendship with Christopher. Chocolate jokes. In general, I would recommend this series, for pleasant gatherings in the evening, when you have a pinching autumn inside and need to unwind.
Love on a par with the series “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory”
10 out of 10 and I’ll revisit it.
A lot of people wrote about this sitcom. To compare with his fanbase can only that fanbase Friends and Doctor Who. Why is that? Because it is a signature humor, bright characters and what we watch TV series about medicine and the police - hope for a successful outcome.
It is clear that this series has little in common with real medicine. Do not go to the fortune teller and do not consult with world-class doctors. Unlike Dr. House, no one is playing a serious story. In fact, remove the sometimes-sounding terrible diagnoses and the series will not lose anything. It's a wrapper and a setting. But when oncology can lurk in every analysis - jokes on this verge go even better.
For me, this series, at one time, was the first that I at a conscious age watched and watched it in a chorus. Moreover, over the past 10 years I have reviewed it 12 times and each time it was a pure high.
What is so exciting about this series?
Characters! For the entire series, they are disclosed as much as necessary. We know almost everything about each of the main characters, there is no point in listing them. At the same time, information about their lives does not overload us and moreover - leaves many questions that then become hot topics for fan disputes and guesses.
Outspoken loser with a good heart, John Dorian, almost the entire series makes us smile at his quirks. The trick with his fantasizing is exactly why the humor of this series manages to insert even the saddest scenes, but not to vulgarize it. This is probably why the series left a legacy. For example, Zach Braff (J.D.) hosts Donald Fason (Christopher Turk), a podcast called "Fake Doctors, True Friends," which, like the Clinic series, begins with "My." From the Clinic, an insane number of memes were sliced, and the sitcoms that came out after began to be compared to the clinic. It started to look like a kind of gold standard. If most jokes in Friends, alas, very much depend on localization, but the Clinic has become understandable to the domestic viewer. This is a great translation from MTV.
What is very important - until the end of the series does not let go. He doesn’t go into a lot of nonsense and try to suck it out of his finger. The authors were able to finish it beautifully and correctly. However, for some reason there was an attempt to shoot the 9th season, which in principle was not necessary. Rebuilding the format was a failed idea. There was not enough resources to continue. Perhaps that is why the vast majority of fans believe that the 8th season ended the Clinic, and the 9th does not exist in principle.
And if you haven't seen the Clinic yet, I envy you, you have an amazing world ahead of you. So if you put the existence of season 9 out of your mind, it’s for sure. . .
This is the best! The right one! The Best! series about the lives of medical professionals. Erasing the differences in the systems of professional training of personnel in Russia and abroad, he shows the TRUTH about our work, about relationships in the team, about romantic and violent sexual relations under the roof of a conditional clinic, about a career in medicine, about the medical business, about professional cynicism and humor, about burnout. I find it difficult to list everything I see here. Ah! On religious feeling and ethics, which in our medical world is called 'deontology'. On the intersection of former classmates in the walls 'clinic' when one suddenly became a doctor and the second became a patient (and the doctor after a fun evening meeting of old school friends should honestly inform this very patient that the disease he identified is a death sentence...)
This is a series in which for dozens of episodes watched I have never noticed stupid film blunders - the whole script is carefully calibrated on a clinical topic. What is sorely lacking in all other medical creations of cinema, television and theater. . .
Genius cast! When you see the clowns being bred by those you used to see as daring guys from explosive fighters, you enjoy their professionalism. They're playing. They play genre. They don't play themselves at all. They play tragicomedy. The profession is played, but it is not ridiculed (by the way, this is generally unseen for world cinema). And not for a second do they lose their image! 9 seasons, the actors play their heroes, evolving only according to the script! And that brings the comedy back to the real world. Respect and respect!
Sometime in 2008-2009, this series saved me from the notorious syndrome of professional burnout. And I worked in the clinic for another 10 years.
Thank you.
Now it seems strange to me that despite my fascination with foreign sitcoms, the Clinic somehow did not make the list of things to watch. Even during the period of my work in the medical institution, the Clinic was only talked about once. The fascination with the series was greatly contributed by the Paramount Camedi channel. As a result, the clinic became one of my favorite TV projects.
Location, Sacret Heart Clinic. It is here that yesterday's medical college student John Dorian or JD enters the intensive care unit. Together with him arranged - his best friend Christopher Turk in the Department of Surgery and Elliot Reed, who together with JD begins to work in intensive care. But former students need not only to apply knowledge in practice, act quickly and decisively - because their actions directly affect the lives of patients - but also build relationships with the staff of the Clinic. And this is the senior nurse Carla, who likes to give advice to everyone, the therapist Perry Cox, forced to take patronage of interns, but scolds them tirelessly, the head physician Bob Kelso, who is more concerned about financial issues and the presence / absence of insurance in patients, and the Cleaner, who, despite his position, somehow participates in the life of the Clinic.
Honestly, after watching the Interns and our comedy parody of the American Ambulance, I expected the same from the Clinic - a situational comedy, telling about the relationship between different characters, with periodic jokes on medical topics. However, from the first series we know that everything will be different. From the beginning, we are told that we may have come here to laugh, but remember, you are in the hospital, even in the intensive care ward and surgical operating room, where people with serious illnesses are admitted. Some of these patients recover and return to normal life, some people are forced to cope with the consequences of these diseases, and some of these patients cannot be saved. At the same time, we are shown how doctors react to such moments - after all, they are responsible for patients and they take any failures and unforeseen circumstances at their own expense: what they did wrong, and did they do enough, could anything else be done to help the patient? In addition, doctors experience it every day at work and for many years. The first thing the Clinic teaches is to treat doctors with even greater respect.
But still, the Clinic remains a sitcom - a situational comedy with a lot of funny moments, chicly written dialogues and intricacies of relations between the main characters. And the series was just hilarious - some jokes are so well written that they will mix to tears, and some series are shot in the styles of musicals, sitcom with a voiceover laugh and even a fantasy tale. Also in the Clinic is a chicly selected soundtrack - starting with the title song of the band Lazlo Bane - Superman.
We move on to the most interesting - the main characters, whose working days in the clinic we observe. John Dorian or JD (Zac Braff) is a young intern who dreams of becoming a good doctor, with an optimistic outlook on life, too rich imagination and an inner voice, which often make the hero go into himself and draw in his head simply incredible scenarios. A very sweet and pleasant, somewhat infantile young man, who, however, is not lucky in relations with girls, who has a difficult relationship with family members, and thanks to such a friendly character, JD is afraid to cause pain to the patient, even necessary. But still JD is working on himself, growing as a doctor, gradually growing up and throughout the series remained my favorite hero!
Christopher Turk, or simply Turk (Donald Fason) is a talented surgeon and best friend of JD since college. These two show the brightest bromance in sitcoms (even brighter than in Friends, Big Bang Theory and a couple of others) - they hang out together, sing, dance, constantly get into unusual alterations and always stand up for each other. Watching the tandem of these two is always a lot of fun!
Elliot Reed (Sarah Chock) is an intern from a family of doctors, constantly improving her knowledge of medicine, but having many neuroses, jumps and self-doubt, which pretty much prevent her from living. My attitude towards Elliot has not always been unambiguous - it has improved significantly after going into private practice, changing appearance, gaining self-confidence and developing a relationship with JD (which was a balm for the soul).
Carla Espinoza (Judy Reyes) is a senior nurse at the Clinic who thinks she knows everything and likes to give advice to everyone, but always provides support to young doctors who later become best friends. One of the main themes of the series is the relationship of Carla and Turk, which reveals in detail all the problems that young couples may face, but also shows that if you work on a relationship together, they will overcome any obstacles and be very happy.
Percival or Perry Cox (John McGinley) - the most experienced doctor of the clinic, who oversees the interns, likes to ulcerate and call his wards, but in a difficult moment will come to the rescue, both the patient and the young doctor. Especially unforgettable are his verbal skirmishes and monologues with J.D., who stubbornly considers Perry his mentor (who is naturally not enthusiastic).
Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins) is the head physician of the clinic, who, although friendly smiles, according to Perry is a devil in the flesh, who is more concerned with rich patients who will bring money to the clinic. But there is often a lot of humanity in it.
The Cleaner (Neil Flynn) is the most mysterious character. No one knows his name, the details of his life, because every time he invents new (one more bizarre than another), and all the facets of his talents. Also from day one, he declares war on JD, which often reaches serious proportions. . .
Among the secondary characters there are many memorable ones: pessimistic lawyer Ted (RIP Sam Lloyd), who turns out to be a very talented a-capella singer (their songs are probably my favorite moments of the Clinic); worried surgeon Todd, who always gives ' unsuccessful intern Doug; strict and very devout nurse Lavern; ex-wife of Cox Daydan , Dick Frey>, many others were very fond of. . .
And why didn’t I go to the clinic for so long – it’s such a great show! But this is not just a fun sitcom - it can even be attributed to the genre of drama, it has many serious moments. The main thing that the Clinic reminds us is what important work doctors do. The most important thing is to always remember this.
It was a great show that wasn’t afraid to experiment. First seasons are chic. Various types of humor are mainly presented in the form of sketches. There's room for black humor. Each series sows the seed of an idea, develops it and cherishes it, and in the end leads to a denouement and to a conclusion from JD. Well-written characters. And this applies not only to the main characters, but also secondary ones. The weak link of the series, this is the ninth season. You can look at it without putting out your eyes, but not that. Especially if you take into account the last eight seasons, it is perceived as a parasite that sucks the last juices out of the finger. In addition, the eighth season ended three love lines that stretched from the first seasons.
When did you first decide to watch The Clinic? I was 16 years old and I fell in love. Not in the main character/heroes, but in the idea and manner of narration. How do you want to know what another person has in his head, what past experience he is guided by when making decisions in the present? The clinic gives you this opportunity!
What is this series about? It's about what you need right now. About love, relationships, friendship, mentoring, betrayal, empathy, experience and, most importantly, about finding yourself. While watching the series, it seems that Bill Lawrence has lived many lives, the experience of which helps the audience for almost 20 years and does not lose its relevance.
I didn’t find myself in any of the characters, I found myself in all the characters at once. The series shows life as it is in the concept of “rise and fall”. In each series, you can find wisdom if you watch it at the right time for awareness. I will not cycle the review around the quotes of heroes who have become popular through time. The series goes much deeper. It's about love without vulnerability, but there's beauty in vulnerability. And I’m talking about love in the broadest sense of the word: to a partner, to a friend, to the business with which you have connected your life, to pets in the end and objects that make life more comfortable and “warmer”. Everything that surrounds us makes us.
The series shows very different people with very similar problems and gives hope that you can cope with any difficulty if your mind is open and ready to hear your opponent.
A brilliant creation with a high-precision balance of comedy and drama. The series does not insult the profession (in this case, doctors), what many comedies sin, and treats it with care and respect, and jokes only about people and situations. I advise you to watch only in the voice of Yevgeny Rybov.
And how many delightful finds of the series: the inexhaustible positivity of J.D. throughout all seasons, Ted’s acapel group (which by the way is real), the selective creative insults of Dr. Cox, the fantasy sticking of the main character, the tender friendship between Turk and J.D., causing everyone to think about gayness, although there is nothing like it, and the final walk along the memory corridor to the song Book of Love by Peter Gabriel caused me cleansing tears of delight and tenderness.
The series is in favor. I highly recommend watching.
I see the ratings of this show. I saw the negative review and saw how many dislikes there were. I know I'm gonna get mine too. But maybe someone will think and pass by the series 'Clinic'.
The show is funny. Especially the first season. But it's not worth it. I watched it on rewind. By the way, who watches movies from a computer - I advise setting the mouse wheel to rewind. I watch most movies and TV shows like that.
I will not go deep and analyze anything carefully, even what is on the surface, is enough to understand what this series is.
So - all the abomination characteristic of Western TV series and films is collected here. One thing I can not remember (maybe rewinded and did not notice) – did the characters of the series get into slime, as is customary in their films? Everything else is there: when someone says nasty things about someone, and he stands behind his back and listens (this is how Americans get rid of the inferiority complex, instead of teaching tact and decency); they spit out and throw food, eat from the floor; fart and make others fart; they treat human corpses and intestines extremely cynically; they eat in the morgue (it's like this in many police series they eat something in the morgue); they drink, then spit on a glass, then they say it to him, then they do not admire him so much; then you do it again.
The characters in the series call themselves friends. Who are the enemies in their understanding? Not only do they often show indifference and even cruelty to their 'friends', for their own benefit or just ' for fun' (I don't even take into account the psychopathic mentor), they often don't even pay attention when one of them needs to just listen. Friendship here is attracted by the ears, sometimes forcing one character to say something philosophical to another.
It also looks ridiculous when grown-up uncles, doctors fool around like juvenile idiots. Some actors pull it out and do not look so ugly - well, just fool around, but the main characters look pathetic and unnatural. The further along the series, the stronger. Especially the one on whose behalf the narrative is being conducted (I don't remember their names) - by the end of the series he is generally like a jellyfish. Some kind of weak-willed and stupid. It's amazing how she can still talk. Also, the relationship between him and his friend, a surgeon, is increasingly sliding into homosexuality. The relationship between him and his mentor is also a perversion (as well as a mentor with his wife) and disgusting. Long and not funny tirades of a psychopath mentor are very boring and stretched. And everyone listens with interest, like some kind of wisdom.
About sex. There's something wrong with that in the West. They almost in all the series drag the idea that sex is so unimportant thing - well, how to pick your nose. Only after picking, you will not bear it on people, and after sex it is advisable to tell everyone about it. And in this series, a woman even rejoices when everyone considers her a whore! As long as we talk about her! Game! Oh, yeah, they're picking their noses in this series! Well, there is nothing at all that can not be carried out on people. They already have a classic template - Ross and Rachel from 'Friends'. Ten years of jumping on other people's beds in front of each other and their closest friends, acquaintances and colleagues, and by the end of the series, two loving souls are finally connected. They are worn and worn out so that there is nowhere to put samples. And everyone cheers and applauds.
And feminism. He's blowing off their screens very powerfully, aggressively, continuously. No matter how brutal or crazy a man is, he will always be under his heel. In many TV series (I will not list here, you will remember) the man is a fat, stupid, sloppy glutton, unable to even count the rent, everything is based on his beautiful, intelligent, charming wife. You have to understand that in Hollywood, you're not going to make a movie unless you put in some of the educational elements that their government is ordering, like tolerance for homosexuality. Have you ever seen how sometimes, unexpectedly and ridiculously, homosexuals appear in TV shows? And the director has nowhere to go, so he has to put it in. For example, in the TV series about police officers & #39;Rookie' one of the characters suddenly becomes a homosexual. Abruptly, unexpectedly, not at all. Perhaps they were caught or forced to do so. But it is their government that educates them. Do we and our children need this?
And it's all veiled in humor. Yeah, it's there. And not always stupid or obscene. But think about what you are crammed into while you laugh while watching the series. Is it worth it?
I just finished watching the clinic today. Since the first episode, I have been fascinated by this series. The combination of lightness, unobtrusiveness, humor and drama in this series is great. The atmosphere of comfort does not leave for a second while watching. You really feel like living with the heroes all their ups and downs, you really want to empathize with them. The characters of the series are constantly faced with some difficulties and this is not at all boring, because all their problems are so real. So imagine yourself in these life situations, think how you would act and catch yourself on the fact that, like the characters of the series, you would make one or another mistake. Then you look with pleasure at how the heroes cope with this and draw conclusions for themselves. As for humor, for me personally, it’s beautiful, because many jokes are a tool that is used to raise important topics. After watching each season, I briefly had the idea that all the life situations and troubles in which the characters can get already ended and then there will be only self-repeats. But it's not, the writers did their best and until season 8, you really believe it.
With each season, the characters grow and change, become wiser and you change with them. Even while watching Season 3, I caught myself thinking that I didn’t want this series to end, even though there were 6 more seasons ahead. As for season 9, I think it was worth ending the series on 8, although it was nice to see our heroes again. I missed Carla and Eliot in Season 9, and Turk and J.D. were moments that weren't like that anyway, that's just my opinion. Separately, the ending of season 8 is the real end of the series for me, not the one we were shown at 9. She is simply magnificent, looking at her soul there is a feeling of light and warmth and at the same time sadness, because you do not want to part with the heroes of this truly beautiful series. It’s hard to describe the feelings I had when I watched the ending of Season 8. To finally see Eliot and Jady in their happy future... whose relationship, from the beginning of the series, I was more worried about than my own. At that moment, I, like the author of this video, launched a stingy male... Although the series is over, it will forever remain in my memory, and the characters for these 9 seasons I loved so much, as if they became a family. I think I’ll come back to him again to review it. . .
I associate the clinic with an early warm morning, when the first rays of the golden sun break through the trees, the air is clean and fresh, people are just appearing on the streets, and there is still a whole day ahead filled with new discoveries, adventures and communication. And all this splendor is put in a glass ball that you can look at at any moment. The clinic is a fantasy with its heroes and their exploits, directed against villains, formidable on the outside, but vulnerable on the inside.
The world of the Clinic is shown to us through the prism of perception of the world of JD - the main character of the series - and the perception of this guy, as it turned out, is very funny, sensitive and vivid. A lot of events are played out in his head with funny sketches, and the characters in most cases are caricatures. And it's only in moments of drama that J.D. gets serious, and we realize how tragic the hospital is, because there are some people living out their last hours.
The clinic is about absurd comedy and tear-dropping drama, about strong friendship, which I want to call a real man's love, about mentoring, which borders on fatherhood, and yes, often about love relationships and children. This is about the period of life when graduates become workers, when they grow up, create families, buy their own housing, find their own business.
I watched 8 seasons (9 advised not to watch) with a rabid marathon in a week, just in a binge. I didn’t want to go back to my world, it was so much better. Even after five years, I remember this series with great warmth and I think this is my favorite series.
The clinic can be prescribed as treatment and prevention of bad mood.
The opinion of a person who reviewed the Clinic 12 and a half times (without spoilers)
The Clinic has one huge drawback - after it, it is difficult for you to find at least something next to it in quality, and you are disappointed.
The clinic is warm, kind, instructive, funny, human, wonderful miracle! Just think about how he's capable of getting through the man, that he's not only going to revisit Season 8 12 times, but he's going to invest his time in writing such a big review. But I will be so happy to know that I shared this with others and more people will see this masterpiece of scripted thought.
1. Stages of the plot development of the Clinic by seasons
2. The undisputed leader of the genre of Dramedi
3. Advantages over 'Friends' and why I compare them
4. Why the main characters of the Clinic became our second family
___
1. Going from one season to another, I feel like a fish that flows from one stream with one water to another, there is always a change of mood, priorities of the main characters.
1 season - the main characters get acquainted with the Clinic, and we through our JD.
Season 2 JD helps us settle down even more in the Clinic, telling us about interesting facts from the lives of local workers and their stories, more screen time began to be devoted to the relationships of the characters.
Season 3 - even more screen time is devoted to the relationships of the characters
In addition to relationships, for the first time there is a really serious and gloomy note, where for the first time we see situations where the characters need to seriously overstep themselves and revise their priorities and rebuild themselves in order to survive. In my opinion, this is the season from which the Clinic begins to be a Clinic.
Season 5 - this season is the epicenter of all other seasons in saturation of humor, drama and cardinally important events in the lives of the characters. My favorite season.
Season 6 - the priority of the institution of feelings, relationships and family over work is felt even more strongly
Season 7 - not quite yet, but it is already felt as the series is approaching the gradual denouement of the main storylines that are being tied up for years, and as the Clinic gradually begins to empty. In the series, episodes with the night half of the day began to flash more often, when the Clinic is painted in delicate blue and dark blue tones.
Season 8 - The heroes' priorities have changed, they've all grown, and some of them have changed so much that they need to do something serious and extraordinary in order to do the right thing, but we will support them anyway, because over these eight years they have become a real family for us.
2. Dramedi (Anglicism ' Comedy-Drama') became popular in the 2000s largely thanks to the Clinic. Everyone who watched the Clinic, although once admired the ability of the authors to balance between cheerful and exciting filling and the dramatic, life-affirming result of each series. You never know what's going to happen next minute, because if there's a joke at the clinic, it's morose, and if there's a dramatic or sad moment, it's one that breaks your heart. There is nothing in between, everything is on the principle ' all or nothing' and you do not feel any oversaturation, because the two components - drama and comedy - neutralize each other and leave only a pleasant aftertaste.
3. 'Friends' and 'Clinic' very often compared because of the similarity of genres, atmosphericity and warmth that they bring to each home. Agree, whether it’s Friends or Clinic, every time you turn on an episode, you see them in a good mood, no matter how hard things have happened to them, because there is a family that supports them.
When I watched Friends in the first one, the main problem for me was that I was interested in almost nothing but Ross and Rachel's love line. I even skipped 7-12 episodes on purpose just to find out what they had next, and after I got to season 10, I began to watch the whole thing with a calm soul. In the Clinic, an episode does not unfold as many events at a time as in Friends, because there is more interest in them and you watch the episode for the sake of the episode, not to find out what will happen next.
The clinic also takes care of how life-affirming it is. With our own complexities, our own problems, we are literally in the head of another person, and we see it through the prism of a 30-year-old child who has been thrown out into the circumstances of a new harsh life. But he's gonna survive because it's JD. Friends at the same time look in comparison with her.. too much already ' serial', or what. When after the Clinic I begin to love life more, after Friends I want to stick more in the series to get away from the same life.
4. All the characters have changed or grown in some way.
There was not a single hero in the clinic that I hated. And if she hated it, then the reasons for this behavior were revealed and mostly they were related only to the fact that you just needed to talk to this person.
They're all real, with their flaws, the devils they're trying to overcome, and for sharing it with us, Jady, Turk, Carla, Elliot, Cox, Cleaner and Kellso have become friends, family and just an integral part of our lives.
The day Bill Lawrence dies, the world will change. Not for everyone, but for a couple of million people, it will be the loss of a friend they never knew, but who still felt very close to their soul.
Watch the clinic, I hope that for you, too, it will be something incredible and wonderful in your life. And when you look, write to me, we will storm the Internet together and set this miracle ten stars everywhere.
10 out of 10
The series tells us about the hard work of American residents, who throughout the series do everything to become doctors. The main characters are funny, still very young and inexperienced graduates of medical schools. And while watching, we monitor their growth, and at the same time we begin to grow.
Humor is high. The characters are motley, not flat and each with its own story. Each viewer can find their favorite among them. Personally, I am delighted with Dr. Cox.
Season 9 is not worth watching. Personally, I regretted wasting time on it. The first 8 seasons are beautiful and worth your attention.
Don’t think it’s just another sitcom on a medical topic. No, this is not ours 'Interns' It's a lot deeper. Each series can teach us something. And this is the special charm of the series 'Clinic'.
9 out of 10
1 point is removed only because of the last season.
These words from the title song of the series best characterize the characters and the series itself. 'Clinic' is not just a comedy series with jokes and laugh-hunts. And this is definitely not a series to watch with friends, in order to stupidly beat and have fun throughout the series. ' Clinic' for me the perfect, if not the best, symbolic of comedy and drama. Of course, when watching you will laugh more often than sad, but some episodes will touch you to the core, unless you are a soulless beast.
'Unfortunately, life does not end as rosy as in TV series'
And sometimes the series wraps you in a harsh reality, periodically reminding you that not everything in life is smooth, there are failures and hardships, that no one can escape from death, and sooner or later you will have to face it and lose loved ones.
'Once you start blaming yourself for deaths you're not guilty of, you're on a slippery slope and there's no going back'
But despite all the brutality of reality, 'Clinic' is a life-affirming series. He shows the joy of life, and talks about the value of this life - revealing the topic of friendship, love, family. ' Clinic' is a friend who helps you overcome difficulties, who adds moral strength, improves mood and proves that life is a cool thing, and you should appreciate it.
'Perhaps the main thing here is not to be the best, perhaps the main thing here is to find small joys that can help you live until the evening'
And I'm surprised that some of the humor in the series seemed vulgar, stupid, stupid. Yes, sometimes it is black, sometimes it is slightly vulgar, but mostly it is built on absurdity, absurdity, irony. I rejoiced and laughed from many situations, whether it was the incredible dreams of JD and their friendship with Turk, the ridiculous situations happening with Elliot, the intrigue of the incredible doctor , the strange Turk, the no less strange lawyer , Turk and the other doctor
39 No matter how lonely you feel, no matter how much it hurts. All this can be carried out with the help of those who are close to you'
No wonder in the review I mentioned the slogan of the series. ' The Clinic' differs from many other series in that the doctors here do not save all the patients of the hospital, determining the most incredible diagnoses, and besides, they themselves occasionally, but are mistaken. They have fun, fool around, get burned, change and grow up with us. And so it is worth noting the entire cast, completely. Not only the main characters of the series, but also the supporting actors were loved by many. Their common work created that very pleasant and friendly atmosphere. This state of comfort envelops you when watching and does not let go for a long time.
Are you an idiot?
-No, sir. I'm a dreamer!
There’s a lot to celebrate in this series, including great music. In my playlist, there are at least 30 songs borrowed from this kind and cozy series. Thanks to 'Scrubs' I became acquainted with the creativity 'The Fray' whose compositions and not only them, will touch you alive in the most touching moments. And the quotes from these series will remain in your heart forever. As forever in the heart remained the last episode with a chic emotional ending, after watching which for the 9th time on the soul became hard and sad, there was a feeling of loss and loss. But I was glad to remember that closing the series doesn’t mean I can’t revisit it for the 10th time.
': The endgame is never easy. I was very pleased, but I knew it was going to end, and it was not worth lingering in the past. The future will be what I want it to be, and who can say it won’t happen? Who would dare say that my fantasies might not come true? No one knows the future. . . '
P.S. I'm talking about the first eight seasons. Season 9 is a completely different story.
10 out of 10
All your memories, funny and sad, make you who you are.
What's the funniest, most charming, but just the most soulful series you know? I can answer this question without hesitation - Clinic!
The clinic is an American sitcom that started in 2001 and lasted 8 seasons and received a kind of bonus spin-off in the face of the optional 9th season.
What are you, an idiot?
No, sir, I'm a dreamer.
The series tells the story of a young intern JD (Zach Braff), who just graduated from college and came to work in the clinic of the Holy Heart. On a couple with him in the same clinic came his bosom friend – confident novice surgeon Chris Turk. And if JD is definitely the central character on whose behalf the narrative is conducted in most of the series, then the main characters are literally everything! It is impossible not to mention the charming mentor of our newcomer Dr. Cox, chief physician Kelso, the second half of our friends Carla and Elliot. The nameless Cleaner performed by Neil Flynn deserves a special mention: he generates many funny situations. And the fact that I can’t stop listing the characters (after all, the secondary characters that expand the world of the clinic are also wonderful and important), leads us to the fact that it is the rich palette of characters that is the main and unconditional virtue of the series. They captured me, without exception. You are sad and happy for them, you are sad and happy with them! This is largely due to chemistry between actors. Most of them after 9 years after the completion of filming maintain friendly relations and periodically arrange gatherings.
Another necessary element of the sitcom is the love difficulties of the characters. It is impossible to imagine a series consisting of more than one season, where the characters do not converge and do not run 3-4 times. In the Clinic, this element looks so organic that it never irritates.
Here, an atypical approach for sitcoms is applied - the absence of voice-over laughter. The creators understood that in the presence of good jokes, this would be an extra sound effect, and pulling out unsuccessful puns in this way is pointless and looks quite pathetic. A definite plus!
It is impossible not to mention the stunning soundtrack and ideally suited compositions (Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Brown, U2), most of which the viewer will want to add to his playlist. Charming members of the group The Blanks led by neurotic lawyer Ted (Sam Lloyd) please with beautiful covers of famous hits and not only!
The series boasts a bunch of references to geek culture (from Batman and Harry Potter to Doctor House and Friends) and guest stars who appear very colorful heroes.
It happens in life: he who does something good, suffers the most.
This work, unlike its direct competitors like House, which is a drama with a pinch of humor, is a comedy series with a pinch of drama. And in both cases, the creators manage to keep a good balance of these genres. Despite the ease of storytelling, the Clinic has far more than one series that can make you cry. After all, the series is based on the work of hospital employees who go hand in hand with a bony old woman with a scythe. It is enough to watch the third episode of the first season to stop and think about your life. The wisdom and bravery of some patients will impress viewers in many series.
Change is scary, but it is inevitable. It is up to you if you can benefit from them.
There is no end-to-end storyline in The Clinic as such, but what sets this series apart from other sitcoms is the evolution of the characters. We watch both the career and personal growth of the heroes. Characters who appeared on screen as inexperienced beginners will end their journey on a completely different level – as qualified and respected doctors. Characters who appear on the screen tough and domineering, will throw off their masks and show themselves from a completely different side. And this is the most exciting part of the journey that will delight you for 169 episodes. Moreover, the series deals with other serious topics. For example, the pros and cons of paid medicine, the difficulty of choosing in certain situations, or simply showing how doctors cope with stress in their spare time. And the discussion of each of these topics can take more than one paragraph.
You can endlessly list the advantages that are in this series, but what about the shortcomings?
0. Alas, even with all my love for this series, it would be foolish not to remember the weak 9th season (but again, no one forbids you to finish watching sooner).
1. Part of the jokes may be incomprehensible to the viewer, young or far from show business / political realities, as they were aimed at the events of that time.
2. If for some reason you thought it was a disease-fighting series, it wasn’t. The reality of the entertainment show does not imply a deep immersion in medicine as such, so the doctors here too out arcade, which can scare away fans of credibility.
3. Not everyone can like some immoral actions of the characters and vulgar jokes.
Give 5!
If you want to plunge into the enchanting atmosphere of zero, see the life adventures of colorful characters, not only to laugh well (what you will get in abundance), but also to remind yourself what it is worth living for and what you need to do for this, then this series is definitely a must-watch!
There are such series that do not bother, and carry something beautiful, warm and really funny. This is what can be said about the comedy-drama television series 'Scrubs' which we have in the Russian box office translated as 'Clinic'.
The positive series turned out to be delightful. There is not a single series that I personally do not like. ' Clinic' looks in one breath, the main characters become very loved, and when you watch all this long business to the end, it even becomes sad. This beautiful series will always remain in the heart.
We see the main character of this medical story - John Michael Dorian (JD). He graduates from medical college and goes to work as an intern in one clinic that becomes his home. Together with his best friend Chris, John becomes a doctor. There will be things in his way. The hero expects a variety of medical cases, victories and defeats, both in work and in personal life. The people who work at the clinic will become a family for John, and each of them will have their own relationships. . .
'Sometimes the moment you've been waiting for comes at the wrong time...' (c) JD.
This series has a lot of crown lines and memorable phrases. The viewer is waiting in each series a lot of humor and a lot of fun, but behind all the humor and satire in the plot hides deep thinking, as well as drama, so this TV project is so good. As in life, there is drama and comedy. We have to pay tribute to the writer, because they worked well.
The main character was played by Zach Braff - and he is the heart of the Clinic. This is the best actor role and he put all his potential into it. His John is such a real, sincere, man with a great sense of humor, a man who loves this life with all its advantages and disadvantages. John (J.D.) is constantly in the most ridiculous and incredible situations, and Zach Braff plays it all hilariously funny. So many charms and smiles - just bravo.
'The important person is the one who comes to help when not even asked.' (c) JD.
I can’t help but mention the actors who play the first characters of the series, such as Donald Fason, Sarah Chock, the incomparable John C. McGinley, Neil Flynn, Judy Reyes, Ken Jenkins and Krista Miller. They all played wonderfully, and we love every hero. Personally, I particularly single out John C. McGinley, who played Cox. It is his character that has the most funny and fun phrases. The bitch of his wife Krista Miller also adores, she stands out from the entire cast. As funny as the main character Sarah Chock, whose heroine can not be loved.
The TV series is large-scale and high-quality. A lot of stars were invited to it, and each series looked with pleasure. The musical composition is gorgeous, and the main melody now sounds in my head as I write these lines. The storyline was successful and everything was intertwined. The audience is constantly waiting for surprises and skeletons in the closet.
': Sometimes you have to take risks. The main thing is to overcome your fear. It doesn’t matter how much you risk, you’ll be glad you took the risk.' (c) JD
All eight seasons were exciting and I wanted more. The ninth, final season is the weakest, and it differs from all other seasons for a number of well-known reasons. I will always remember the story of Dr. John Dorian with a smile, and the clinic in which he worked became like a home and favorite place for all viewers of this film.
'Clinic' is an American comedy-drama series for all time. To sum up, this sweet and soulful work is one of the best creations of Western television that we love, and thank you for this wonderful, soulful and hilarious story.
9 out of 10
The series begins its journey at the “Holy Heart” clinic, where three trainee doctors arrive: JD, Turk and Elliot. They will have to go from simple ineptitudes to highly qualified doctors through pain, tears, laughter and love. After all, this is a clinic, and no one will give them time to adapt. They plunge into the chaotic life of the clinic, and very quickly find many new friends.
John Dorian, or JD, is an intern and later a doctor. He presents almost every phrase or thought as a fantasy. One of the few doctors who will do anything for the patient.
Christopher Turk is JD's best friend, with whom they have not been separated since college. A narcissistic but very talented surgeon.
Elliot Reed is an intern and later a private doctor who works at the Sacred Heart Hospital. Gradually joined the company of JD and Turk.
Karla Espinosa - senior nurse of the clinic. She can be described as a brash and I-know-what-do-better-doctor. At the same time, a very responsive woman who helps trainees get on their feet in the clinic.
Dr. Cox is the best doctor in the clinic, from which he breathes narcissism, narcissism, and Cox likes to ulcerate and prick. Despite his character, he is always ready to help trainees. And why does he hate Hugh Jackman?
Dr. Kelso is the chief physician who competes with Cox. He loves sweets.
The cleaner is the main villain of the clinic, who deftly manipulates people. He has mental and alcohol problems. He likes to bully JD, but is afraid of Carla.
The plus of the series is that it shows the lives of the main characters from the side of their work. There is no soap opera like in the same Grey Anatomy. The main patients, and then personal life. We laugh, we worry, we fall in love with heroes. I just want to live with them. There's a whole range of secondary regular characters who drift through series, a lot of patients we see a few times, and the entire cast feels like family: their chemistry is great, the timing is brilliant, and the acting performances are equally good. But there is a spoonful of tar in the series - Season 9, which spoiled the entire impression of the ending of the series, which gave a new beginning to new characters, but forgot about the old ones. The acting game fell and the season rolled "I love you, like."
I will say one thing: watch 8 seasons of the series, and you will understand what a good sitcom about doctors is, where everyone and everything is given airtime. And forget about the existence of season 9, like a terrible dream.
7 out of 10
It is worth saying right away that this series has a huge number of fans and they are very happy to write laudatory reviews of this series. They can be understood - this series has its strengths and external appeal.
But this external attractiveness hides the essence / message / message, it is like a smoke screen prevents you from seeing an insidious enemy.
Briefly on the subject:
The main character of this series is John Dorian. A huge amount of screen time is devoted to him, he is the voiceover of the series, he sums up and draws conclusions about what is happening. He is a young doctor who came to work in the clinic.
During 9 seasons, the viewer will watch his (and his “colleagues in the shop”) workdays.
Pros:
1) The picture pleases the viewer’s eye (actors, costumes, surroundings, scenery, etc.). As a rule, the action takes place in a rather warm season and the sun is always shining outside.
2) Music, song and dance. They are quite diverse in many ways. This complements the atmosphere of point N1.
(3) Humor. There are funny moments in places.
All these advantages are aimed at distracting attention. They create the illusion of a warm, bright, kind, almost family comedy.
Cons:
1) All male characters in the series are constantly humiliated, ridiculed and insulted by women. And this is understandable - men in this comedy lack firmness, confidence in their abilities and their position, there are no principles and will.
Even tough, self-confident, experienced men (for example, Dr. Cox or a janitor) - when meeting a woman, they carry a complete mess, sweat and turn pale, etc.
The main character of the film is a standard, a sample of persecution and humiliation. He gets kicked by everybody. For 9 seasons, he is trampled into the mud by almost all the characters of the series.
2) Stupidity of male characters. Many of the characters are incredibly stupid. Even the main characters are not brilliant. This is rather strange because doctors in the United States are the elite of society.
(3) Homosexuality and its propaganda. The protagonist and his black friend Turk have a rather strange relationship. It's anything but male friendship.
(4) Almost the main conflict of the film is the relationship between the janitor and the main character. On a strange and ridiculous case - the authors built a conflict length of 9 seasons.
(5) It’s not good for the humor in this series. Yes, there are funny moments, but they are quite few. It is usually simple and primitive.
Conclusion:
This series is a product of its time. The main message is that women are better than men. Men are preoccupied, rather primitive, stupid, limited, weak-willed and weak creatures who can and should be humiliated.
Wrapped this message in a light, almost native, warm and affectionate blanket. But it does not cease to be bad.
Dr. Cox, today is my last day, I wanted to give you a gift to thank you for making me who I am today.
Don't blame me for that!
(Roughly ending season 8)
Scrubs
One of the best series of its kind "Clinic" is over. By "finished," I mean, unfortunately, I looked at it and it would have been nothing, but why? Why can’t a series remain perfect until the last episode? I was impressed with season 9, which I would have gladly wiped off the face of the earth, but I try to stay calm.
However, I will miss it, it was a great time, and this series, despite the dramatic component, always cheered me up. This is probably the only show where I haven’t seen a character I don’t like. It's kind of weird because they're not all positive, some of them make crazy game, but I loved them. None of them I would like to remove from this work. Turk is a dancer, a surgeon, and a black kid who's just as funny as J.D., and sometimes even more. J.D. is stupid to dream, naive, good-natured, and in some places reasonable. Elliot is a strange and arrogant girl who sometimes shows signs of normality, but don’t count on it at all. Carla, Jordan and Ted, whose life is a nightmare from beginning to end, are all fun in their own way, but don’t stand out.
In the center of the plot, of course, JD and Turk, who have just finished their studies and came to work in the clinic "Holy Heart". On the first day, they meet many of their colleagues, but along with the guys in the center of the plot is a nurse Carla, also a new Elliot, Dr. Cox and a cleaner. The janitor is the most driven man in the gang. If someone is baragosite, he is in place. The janitor is proud of his job. Why don't I say his name? He probably doesn’t have a name because no one knows him.
Most of the humor is based on how the characters get into various awkward, but life situations. Still on the filigree image of John C. McGinley, who recreated it just flawlessly, and his sarcastic hamstrings must have stuck with JD in the undercortex. He's good in every way. This is the brightest and most memorable character in the series and it was from him that Bulls from "Interns" were written off. How can you compare that? It’s like comparing Mayweather and Arturo Gatti, because everyone knows that Gatti is better at everything and in that fight he would have taken him apart if it wasn’t for Floyd’s dirty antics. Sorry, it hurts. Dr. Cox can definitely be called one of the most colorful characters in the history of cinema. Also on Bob Kelso, who despises every minute spent in the hospital building.
An amazing series about the difficult life of doctors, which is full of ups, sorrows, downs and drama. How to tell a child about the death of his father? How do you deal with the fact that, in principle, through your fault, people can die? To such and many more questions it is necessary to find an answer to the guys from the Clinic. The picture perfectly shows many aspects of the life of doctors, what they will face and what they will experience daily, as well as personal life and how it relates to work. Friendship, mutual aid and scandals. It is interesting to watch, because over the series clearly tried and each series pleases, and sometimes keeps in suspense, makes you sad.
There are not many phrases here, which, as they say, "in case of important negotiations." The characters are worked out, and their antics are amusing and improve mood. I took half the point behind the cliché, in the form of ridiculous and funny, according to the creators of the series, JD falls, you know, you can see enough of this on YouTube. It's nothing original or funny. Another half point for the ninth season, which offended me and hurt my heart. This is disgusting and please spare me its existence!
It goes without saying that it is one of my five favorite sitcoms.
(Apart from Season 9, I’ve already dumped this shit, don’t doubt it.)
9 out of 10
I love the genre of drama, but comedy is no less, unfortunately, whether, fortunately, there are more good films in the first case than in the second, good comedies are ten times less than drama. So, being in search of something like this, and just started watching TV series, as a friend advised me “Clinic”.
As I am used to, I will list the pros and cons, in my opinion.
Pros:
1. A subtle, perfect interweaving of first-class humor, and the same drama. Each episode, in addition to the connection of the main plot, often carries a separate story, for which I liked the series, in the sense that one episode laughs to tears, and the next you already cry with emotional pain that comes after processing the brain, straight into the soul.
2. Characters. Each character has its own personality, no matter whether it is the main or secondary. Everyone is open, everyone can be understood.
3. Plot. What can you think of in a series about doctors? But not here it was, a lot of interesting plot twists causing a hurricane of emotions, ease of presentation, you begin to live in that universe together with the characters, and this makes you laugh sincere, or just as hard to experience some difficult events as the characters. The series carries a huge meaning in itself, I think it is clear their opening soundtrack Im no supermen.
4. The soundtrack is perfectly selected, and “in the theme” and it can be safely listened to outside the series, walking for example on the street.
Minus.
He is only one and this is the last season, it is out of place, and only spoils the whole atmosphere, to everyone who has not yet seen this picture, the last Ninth season, I do not advise.
9.5 out of 10
The clinic was, and still is, the best show I've seen so far. And one of the few that I've reviewed. It's already 7.
A great plot, acting and divine soundtrack - and here it is, a great series that you can always watch.
In the plot, there are always both bad and good events and the series only benefits from this, because it looks like life. Characters are not shown as supermen, who can do everything: no, every hero throughout the series faces certain difficulties that happen in real life. And the hero somewhere copes with them, somewhere tries, but does not succeed. And that's fine, because I'm no Superman, as the song goes at the beginning of each episode.
Thanks to this, the Clinic is a kind of “medicine” for me: if there comes a period in life when it seems that everything is bad and unlikely to be good, turn on almost any series and it will become easier. After watching, there is usually strength and hope for the best.
Talking about what the Clinic is wonderful is a good thing, but it is better to see it yourself (and then review it).
The Clinic is an American comedy-drama-social-philosophical series. It was created by Bill Lawrence. It is one of the most popular series about people in white coats. It is also the best sitcom with a sea of life situations, barbs, sharpness and stupidity.
This series tells about the life of trainee doctors and their relationships and friendship. They are all a big family and take care of each other, although some do not show the appearance. The clinic teaches to succumb to emotions, at least for a moment. Interesting to see the characters and their conversations. They have many problems and life situations, many of them are so real and relevant that you seem to look at yourself from the outside.
Watching the series, you see how hard the work of the resident, the doctor, the surgeon, the nurse and the chief doctor is. So beautifully selected images that for a second you forget about the fact that you are watching the series, and not being in a real hospital. Walking along the corridors, various drugs and numerous patients, all as in a real clinic and there is no empty room filled with nothing.
Jady wants to help people, so he went to medical, but he had no idea how difficult it was. Learning to talk to patients. He cares about other people’s opinions and is dependent on others. He has an inner voice that gives him very good advice, but sometimes he doesn’t listen to it, so it all comes out sadly for Jonathan. Talking to himself. He gives his all at work. He is always worried about relationships and his hair, idealizing girls. His relationship history is complex, and when it ends, he falls into a period of black despair. The habit is always to sum up, especially the events of the past day. Zach Braff fit perfectly into this role, and his acting was just on top.
Chris Turk is JD's best friend. Since high school, he has always advised him how to improve. He has a lot of faith, so it is difficult to break him, and he can inspire, because of what he likes others. Donald Fason in the role of brown bear chicly approached the role of best friend.
Reed - she is slightly absent-minded, it is difficult for her to find a common language with others, but she just wants proper attention and support from the outside, so she tries to start a conversation in every possible way. A little crazy, but she's good. Low self-esteem, which contributes to a series of troubles. Magnificent and beautiful Sarah Chock best got used to the role of Barbie.
Dr. Cox seems angry at the world, but he's actually a good guy advising and rescuing our newcomer. He's kind of a spiritual mentor. He suffers from a mild alcohol addiction and has a God complex. His high, when needed, is his character. John Christopher invented jokes and applied them to Jady. The writers didn’t even have to work on it. A magnificent image of the best mentor, which is comparable to Dr. House himself from John Christopher.
The series is clearly set deep in the soul. You stay with the characters until the end, their experiences become your characters. As they change positions and emotionally new challenges and worries, it all stays with you. A great soundtrack, simple and melodic, filled with an ocean of sadness and longing, as well as fun and jokes. How it pleases the soul, it is simply impossible to enjoy it fully. In addition to the cool sound, the scriptwriters of the Clinic added cameos of various popular actors.
Sometimes it is possible to look at yourself only through the eyes of others, if you are lucky, you will find out what you are missing, and if not, you can only hope that you have not burned all the bridges. Ideal social philosophy, themes of relations and friendship.
Humor is a ‘shell’! A reasoning about the main and eternal is nbsp; nuts.
It is one of the very few series that I love and respect. He has the same disease that is inherent in all series - artificial stretching of some storylines (romantic for example). But it stands out to many.
First of all, humor, it's farcical. But, it’s not the kind of buffoonery found in standard sitcoms. The characters of the Clinic are not so caricatured, and situations are not so trivial.
The second important feature of the series is the depth and variety of topics raised. Each series, under layers of jokes, hides the reflection of the main characters about certain problems / issues of the individual or society. Friendship, personal responsibility, love, family. Yeah, yeah, damn it! This is all banal, and mankind has been discussing these topics since it learned to invent and tell stories. But the clinic does it in its own way, very carefully putting cherished thoughts and words into the heads and mouths of its characters.
Keep a child in yourself, do not be afraid to dream, love your business, do not lose humanity when you are immersed in a routine, live a full life, be honest with your loved ones and with yourself, love and be loved.
Many people think that the clinic is suitable only for young people or infantile adults. Others consider it another sitcom. Others compare it to D. House.
About the last two: No! Oste! About the first... If there is an age threshold for reasoning about, for example, duty to loved ones or the importance of being honest with yourself, then I will try not to become so cynical and ossified with age.
Down with moral old age!!
