Why the modern "ER" deserves some respect
https://web.archive.org/web/20030601...e475c0be702126
Critics complain "ER" has become too soapy, manipulative and lacking in medical focus. "But to my faithful heart," says Emily Nussbaum, "that's just televisual false-memory syndrome, a distortion field built on nostalgia. Because the truth is, the early 'ER' never was especially subtle or realistic. Watching reruns from early seasons, you see precisely the same tricks that have always been central to the show's emotional tug: babies dying, last-minute surgical saves, love among the IV bags." |
