VARIETY
“The ‘Good Sam’ twist on the classic doctor procedural recipe, though, is that Griff’s surgeon daughter (Sophia Bush) took over his post of chief while he was unconscious, and now that he’s back, the battle for the department is well and truly on.”
WALL STREET JOURNAL
“The talented daughter of a domineering surgeon takes over his hospital duties after he falls into a coma, but things are less than cordial when he wakes up. The series has a significant asset in Ms. Bush... she is charming but also makes Sam convincingly competitive.”
“I mean, if you needed to do House without Hugh Laurie and you decided to recast the main role, you literally couldn’t do better than Jason Isaacs, from the near-villainous intensity to the regionally nonspecific American accent that breaks British in moments of high emotion.”
