This is truly a great Canadian show. The writing is always heartfelt and intelligent, the acting powerful and a testament to Canada's talent, and the technical side wonderfully done. A particular favourite of mine is the multi-angle camera shots, which are truly a thing of beauty. If you're a fan of other medical shows, or just of a good dramatic series, Remedy is more than worth watching. Like its contemporaries, Remedy profiles the personal, professional, and political ins and outs of life with the hospital. However, it provides a unique approach to the subject, driving home incredible narratives about family, career, addiction, and strength, with a distinctly Canadian feel. This show deserved far more than the 2 seasons it got.

Remedy is not just one of the best Canadian TV shows, it's one of the best TV shows ever made, period. It's fresh, interesting, and fast-paced, and most of the time it keeps your head spinning in the best possible way. As far as I recall, it's quite possibly the only medical drama with a heavy focus on the family values and interpersonal relationships, and probably the only one that didn't have broom closet hookups - I'm looking at ALL of you, other medical TV series. The Conners are exactly the kind of family that are fun to watch - they're very different and very likable in their individual ways. You may not disagree with them now and then, but at the end of the day you can't help but want them all to have a happy ending, one way or another.That's not to mention exciting and unique 'traumas of the week', amazing supporting cast, and exception writing (that I am shamelessly envious of).

I thought another medical show? But wanted to give it a shot because it had the moving and powerful Enrico Colantoni (FlashPoint, Veronica Mars, Just Shoot Me). So i dived in right from the first episode. And I knew right away it was not just another medical show. I mean it has some incredibly wickedly real medical scenes that will sometimes leave you ugh, but its because they are done so well.It centres around the Conner family and those that happen to get involved in their lives. While Enrico Colantoni (as Dr Allen Conner), Sarah Allen (Nurse Sandy Conner), Sara Canning (Dr Mel Conner ) and Dillon Casey ( Griffin Conner, Porter hoping to be Dr) are the stars of the show and do a magnificently brilliant job episode after episode, I could not continue to watch without the supporting cast that is around them. I got hooked on the characters of Josey the Clown , "Sassy" Nurse Patel, Zoe, Kanaskie and Jerry. They balanced the Conners out, brought them back to reality so to speak.The story lines were brilliant! The stories were often relatable to things that were going on in my own life and I found myself using Kleenex quite often while watching. I say great writing, great directing & great acting make quality TV. Remedy has all.I am saddened to know I will have to dream about whether Griffin will make it, whether Mel will stay with Dr Culter or go back to Jerry & whether Zoe & Griffin can find their way back to each other. I needed and wanted more of Remedy , I hope you can take a look at both season 1 & 2...especially season 2 and tell me whether you agree that Dillon Casey deserves a nomination for his portrayal of Griffin. If I had it in my power, Remedy would be going on for season after season...yes I think its that good! thank you Remedy for being in my life :)

I'm stuck watching this because my wife does. The show should be called the fighting hospital or hospital fighting family. It's on the level of the red green show. I've been waiting for red green to make a cameo instead of trying to be funny it's fighting and arguing. I know this might be a surprise but there is room for better story lines. I really don't know why they have other actor's on cause it always centers around the four actors. I hope it gets better the second time around. What's this ten line thing I can say what needs to be said in less. But I guess we all have to sound uneducated. So with this being said it should be enough.
