About this show

When charismatic Chief of Surgery Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) at Hope-Zion Hospital ends up in a coma, he leaves the hospital in chaos, and his fiancée and fellow surgeon, Alex Reid (Erica Durance), in a state of shock. Along with newly-arrived star surgeon, Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies), Alex races to save Charlie's life.

Alex, along with her fellow doctors, press on to save his life and those of their other patients, as they deal with the often complicated and courageous decisions that are made in their daily struggle to keep hope alive.

Only thing I liked about this show was Joel (Daniel Gillis) and Alex's scenes. The show had a problem with being confusing to follow. I hated the lighting effect, I'm sure it isnt as bad as I make it out to seem but I was only interested in Gillis' performance, anyways. And, really didnt want to take the time to i vest the other characters on the show.

I discovered this series a year or two ago and have watched all of the seasons up to current. I was disappointed to hear that the current season was going to be the last as it has all of the elements of a thoughtful, heart-warming drama that I love. The characters have some complexity, story plot keeps enough twists to keep one engaged while hanging on to the basic story lines from episode to episode to feel consistent. Acting, production, writing...all of the elements work.

This is a great show. After looking at the fall line up for NBC, I'm disgusted over the fact they pulled the plug on Saving Hope. I surely hope Google will bring us season 2. Saving Hope is refreshing after all the reality shows and humorless comedy.
