(SPOILERS BELOW)i had my reservations about last nights premiere, since season two was a goddamn mess. i wasn't even planning on watching last night, but i got lured into it and i have to say it was a pretty great start. for one i'm glad that christian survived the slashers attack, all the promotion eluded to him dying and i was about to give up on the show altogether had that been the case. sean isn't a strong enough character to carry the entire show. but more importantly, they went back to a lot of what was great about the first season, where the plots tend to focus on the doctors interactions with their patients and how they apply that perspective gained to their own lives. and gratuitous/forced threesome aside, there was less of the shock for the sake of shock that they were peddling all last season.

I can see how a show like that can suck you in but i got away before it could do that to me. The show seemed like it was taking TV to its limits, but in the worst possible ways; wow they can say 'shit' and show butts, and fake boobs. The whole slick, film-like presentation just left a bad taste in my mouth.
The only things i liked about the show were the elements that seemed like they were stolen from TWIN PEAKS.
