Just what we need…another Medical Drama where the main character is a Doctor who is a “renegade” of modern medicine. Where the main character is so Kookie and “sees” things differently then those around him and the SFX are all so funky looking.
The commercial for the series is cringe worthy.

I tried to get through the two episodes but my mind kept wondering out of boredom… i just couldn’t muster enough interest to follow. Because of the comments.. I was expecting similar characters as Dr House and/or Sheldon Cooper. Imo there is no similarity (personality wise) in any manner… Unfortunately and disappointingly, this series is not my cup of tea and I really wanted to love it.. To me, Wolf is extremely bland, where Cooper and House were absolutely brimming with brilliant and entertaining, even though extremely aggravating, personalities.

If you like Dr House this is for you…. it is basically a 100% rip-off and has completely the same look/feel about it… Dont expect anything new… its just something something mixed in a new jacket.. A “handicap” like “the good doctor” and a stubborn mind and social awkwardness like dr House and you got Brilliant Minds……

Dr. House was an entirely fictional character inspired by Sherlock Holmes, while this show is based on the real-life neurologist Oliver Sacks. I remember that his book “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” was quite popular in psychology circles when I was studying. I haven’t watched the show yet, but after reading more about him, it seems he really was quite the eccentric with his own issues.

He Magiczoo… i do know where this series came from and tht was the reason for me to tune in in the first place. As you said “i have not watched it yet” i would advise you to do so before commenting or correcting other posters. Now after the second episodes and it could have gone “either way” for me in regards to the Dr House comment, but it went 100% towards Dr House…Its fine by me…worked for 15 seasons, right? (something like that anyway)… I dont mention other “weird” doctors as for instance “the good doctor” where the doctor is weird, but he uses actual science and knowledge that some who studies a lot could have. Here 8and in Dr House) the guy just says “lets stand on your head while drinking a cup of tea as i want to see how your body reacts”…. It is fun and i like it so far, but i wonder if there can be enough character developement although the last 10sec of episode 2 are definitely looking like they are wanting to dig deeper.

I wasn’t trying to correct anyone, just sharing some context I thought might be helpful for those watching the series. Oliver Sacks is well-known in neurology/psychology, which is why he’s familiar to me, though I know not everyone has heard of him. To be clear, I wasn’t commenting on the quality of the series, which is why I mentioned I haven’t watched it yet—I was just providing context (he was an interesting person). I definitely didn’t mean to offend you or anyone else.

fcginmexico 2 points 4 months ago.

No worries Magic…and sorry at the same time….What you said about Stacks is literally announced in the series headline here on Primewire,so it did feel a bit like a “lecture” that it could not possible be like House, because it was based on a real person…I hope you will watch it, enjoy it nd share you opinions with us

laurie621 1 points 4 months ago*.

I haven’t watched this yet but because of the comments I intend to.. Having said that.. I loved Dr House and hated him.. and I also had the same love/hate for Sheldon Cooper..they are cut from the same cloth and both carried it off brilliantly.. which I feel is way above other actors in that not many could do it.

fcginmexico 1 points 4 months ago.

Yeah if you would watch it for the “characters” of House or even Sheldon you will come out on the losing end as there is nothing like that in here. D House for me always was like a medical comedy and this is meant a pure medical drama….as you mentioned in your otherpost Wolff is “bland” and i think only the last 10sec of the 2nd episode migh make him more interesting, but i agree that you dont watch this for laugh or a schuckle like you could do with House.

laurie621 0 points 4 months ago*.

It’s not necessarily for a laugh or chuckle.. I love dramas as well… it’s for entertainment and “bland” just doesn’t do it for me… For instance.. Mozart: Rise of a Genius…it’s a short series, done in a documentary way and I loved learning about him and classical music of which I knew so little. Very entertaining and informative at the same time.. I loved it.. Cooper and House, as you said, are just entertaining… and if you think about it..even documentaries are done in a way to hold your interest and entertain at the same time. Wolf to me..so far anyway, is like trying to read a boring book and from what I got out of it, what it’s about is theoretic and not factual.

I had the same thoughts . Same as House starring a flawed Dr. who is followed around by problematic interns. Solving cases only he can do with his own flawed brain. While like House riding his motorcycle. Well it worked 20 years ago.
