Very well executed

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Enabling failure and manipulation are the hallmarks of the American entertainment industry. For the most part it's a harmless game. It always has been.It's not wrong when the ends justify the means, or there is another justifiable framework in place. Wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. You're not to blame and the enemy is always a bad guy. It's a fantasy that sells. It's a fantasy that entertains.Sex, violence, power, all looking for justification and an audience to entangle. The only goal to sell and support an above average lifestyle. These are the hard truths and you will find nothing like them in the Black Box.These are the reasons some topics are generally seen as untouchable except by those with no scruples.If ABC was really interested in helping the mentally ill navigate our society, I would suggest a television series might not be the best vehicle.

I really do not understand why this show was canceled. I mean, I absolutely loved it! I have watched 'House', 'treys Anatomy', 'Scrubs' and those kinds of hospital shows for a long time, but honestly I must say that this one is my favorite of them all! The show contains great characters and I love the relationship in the family and the dynamic at 'The Cube' Hospital. It has an exiting storyline and I find to really interesting that Catherine must struggle with her own decease while helping other patients. I have actually been really into neurology since I watched this show for the first time. I couldn't stop watching, so I saw season one from the beginning and though out on two days.. I would recommend making a season two off this show and do more to make people aware off the show. Who agrees? Save some money on making another season off House.

Dr. Catherine Black (Kelly Reilly) is the top neuroscientist working at the Center for Neurological Research and Treatment. She has bipolar disorder with sexually aggressive manic episodes. Her therapist Dr. Hartramph (Vanessa Redgrave) battles to keep her on her meds. Her chef boyfriend Will Van Renseller (David Ajala) doesn't know at first. Her brother Joshua Black (David Chisum) and wife Reagan (Laura Fraser) are hiding the fact that she's actually the mother to their daughter Esme (Siobhan Williams). At work, she has a complicated attraction to her destructive co-worker Dr. Ian Bickman (Ditch Davey).This is a crazy series about mentally ill character. It's fascinating to see some people praise it for its accuracy while others deride it as fantasy. I have no personal experience with mental illness. Some of the show is obviously overstated but I found most of the weekly procedural interesting. The personal melodrama is also very interesting especially the part with her daughter. The jazz music and her manic dancing is a bit distracting and not my taste. This is generally a well made show about a character that is slightly different from the usual fare. It had few viewers and canceled after one summer season.

This is one of the only medical dramas that can combine romance, humor and suspense deftly and without awkwardness. Overall, the show is edgy and non-formulaic. One of its best attributes is its cinematography. Shot from various angles and unafraid to explore dreams and hallucinations, it is quite the visual experience. Casting and acting is very appropriate, lending to smoldering chemistry between the leads. Their interactions are artfully done with much insinuation and no luridness. I haven't seen this type of bold exploration of characters' perspective, nor old fashioned romance on TV in a long time. Editing is stellar, with scenes cutting quickly enough to avoid exhausting. The writing is intelligent without being pretentious or obnoxiously witty; the viewer can relate. Patient story lines are fascinatingly unusual. Who has ever heard of Alien Hand Syndrome? Love the occasional jazz musical score backdrop too. No constant, overdone pop music. Please keep this show on, I look forward to watching every week.
