A Disappointing Continuation

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This show came before Grey's Anatomy and will likely be on after that show ends. I only saw one episode last night but it's typical British soap fare. There is a Jamaican doctor who is taking care of orphaned baby Leeann until they locate her father. She suspects that he is a drug addict because of the physical symptoms and questions the authority. There are other members in the cast but the show doesn't exhibit anything but average writing, above average acting, and above average sets. I never saw Casualty so I can't tell the difference or the similarities. It was on after EastEnders so I watched it and it was watchable in my opinion but I wouldn't say excellent because I think the show needs to do more work in getting strong characters who will be memorable and writing that creates a sensation. Until then, Holby City will be the sister show of Casualty and while it follows EastEnders, it might get an audience leftover to keep it going. I think the show is good and worth watching.

Holby has such a multitude of characters that you can't help but be absorbed into its mostly believable world.It has inspirational comments that really add some depth to the program which could end up being so incredibly boring no one would watch it.However many new characters they bring in Connie is still my absolute favourite...she has such a sexy sassy attitude they you can't help but love her character.You are always surprised by the plot lines and the ventures outside of the hospital (Africa Lives On The BBC journey to Ghana)are still continuing to breathe life into the program.Casualty crossovers are the best and I am always watching and keeping up to date with Casualty as well and having the characters mingle in drastic situations is continually used to great applause from all.Holby City has even made me think of possibly pursuing a career in surgery and some of the characters are great sources of inspiration to all ages.Thanks everyone at Holby cast and crew...

I watched Holby City since it came out and I have always loved it, but I found myself particularly enraptured with the series since the arrival of Connie Beauchamp, played by the sublime Amanda Mealing.The episode where she drove in at the beginning bedecked in full scarf and sunglasses, femme fatale garb, only to crash into Will was one of my favourites.I've heard people say her stuffs repetitive but I think it's great fun seeing her boss the boys around and dish out her scathing comments.The storyline with Will is a joy to behold - it may just be me being insanely sad but every week I can't wait to see what she'll throw at him.I only hope she stays for a long time.

This paragraph will be short because I really do not have a lot to say about this mess that is Holby City. Holby City and the show it spun off are dreadful and it shows that if you compare it to ER we are pretty third rate at producing medical dramas of a high quality. The hospitals air is that of an extreme deppression and most of the patients that come in to the hospital, be it for a car accident or a cut finger seem to come out in a box. This programme cannot tread the fine line between fiction and reality. The acting is so over the top and melodramatic and it makes the story lines even more less believable. Tip of advice to the Holby City writers. Pull the plug on this mess of start up the defibrilator and shock some life into it.
