This will be the medical drama against which all future medical dramas will be measured.

Where do I go to get those two hours of my life back?

If I had hadn’t seen the 1961 version, I would have considered this a great movie — and never watched it again, unlike the 1961 original, which I have re-watched at least once each decade for the last 50 years. Perhaps it was because I was 13 when I watched it the first time or because, in Spielberg’s attempt to update and inject more realism into this remake, he sacrificed some of the pacing and pathos that grabbed me by the throat 50 years ago and never let go.

The only redeeming feature of this show is the comic relief it will provide interns and residents in real hospitals during their all-too-brief break times. The hospital “consultants” on this show should be fired forthwith.

A terrific show with an original and fascinating premise, appealing cast, great writing and realistic dialogue. Is as good or better than anything on the cable or streaming channels.

Other than validating my long ago decision not to have children, this movie was a huge disappointment for me. I simply couldn’t accept the premise that a supposedly brilliant woman would continually behave so stupidly.

A transparent and pointless promotional ploy to get women from fifty to sixty to watch a show that bears little resemblance to the book series we treasured as young girls. I turned it off after less than 30 minutes. Hard to believe this is the same network that gave us the delightful and original “Jane the Virgin.” The only mystery left for this “Nancy Drew” is whether she survives the season.

Fascinating and amusing biodoc about an amazing man I had literally never heard of who has played a huge, behind-the-scenes role in music, politics, entertainment and black empowerment.

I’m making note of this director so I will know to avoid his movies henceforth.

Margaret Hoover is exactly the type of journalist we need more of in today’s toxic, hyper partisan environment. Whatever the subject, whomever she’s interviewing, she demonstrates command of the issues and an ability and willingness to ask the tough (and, occasionally sensitive) questions — without a trace of bias. Her recent interviews of Christine Lagarde, Stacey Abrams and Caitlin Jenner gave me a real insight into these fascinating women.
