Reviews

ana_stefanaaa I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am watching this show on TV , and I can say I like it.Here we are a bit behind with the episodes, and I am a bit sad to see that Andy left the show :( cos I really liked her :( Now I need some help cos last week I saw an old episode :season 3 -episode 19 -when Andy is sending her husband away-there is a song , that I like a lot. I was trying to find out who sings the song but no luck :( . So I am wondering if anyone can help me out - by telling me the name of the song and who sings it .I cant remember any line from the song :( I only remember that is something with ''Smile '' :D :D And a woman is singing the song :) Thanks :)

pennywise55b Strong Medicine is an intelligent drama dealing with issues from a women's perspective, not seen very often on TV. The story lines are full of thoughtfully resolved problems that I have experienced in my life. I can see if I were younger, it would help me understand why things go the way they do in life. I like the various characters, and the wide diversity in terms of their ethnic and economic background. I also like that they generally support each other, develop friendships, and understand them. The characters are not cardboard, and I really wish it were put on network television. It was hard to find it, and the friends I've recommended it to, love it as well. I'm glad there is not too much gore, as the ER series has started to have, so I can learn about hospital life without seeing body parts and lots of blood.

NoeMan In this TV program, EVERYTHING goes over the top. A woman gets breast cancer and everyone cries, later the doctor reveals that her mother died from breast cancer, a few minutes after that another doctors mom gets diagnosed with breast cancer and they all cry together. This is what this show is like, they copy other shows with the drama we have seen hundreds of times before and just add little on to that making it cheesy and lame. The actresses are crap, overacting everything and always looking like they just spent in the chair having a make-up artist work on them, no wait actually that really is the case here they just did that. It´s also clear that this show is a feminist propaganda, which Whoopy Goldberg is behind.Dreadful. 3/10

Charlies_girl7681 'Strong Medicine' deals with the latest medical findings and procedures. I think that the best part about the show is, other than the great actors, is that Whoopi Goldberg and Tammy Ader (executive producers) appointed the lead characters to be women, very different women. At the end of the show, people get to see the points of view from the down-to-earth free clinic doctor Luisa (Lu) Delgado, played by Emmy nominee Rosa Blasi, and her partner, the high ranking, Dr. Dana Stowe, played by Emmy winner Janine Turner. The acting is superb! The supporting cast has won numerous awards for their work in various shows and movies. People are not blasted over the head with the show saying this is the answer at the end people can think; well I wonder what the answer really is. In every episode I promise that you probably won't make it through without crying. The show also has many funny characters that lighten the mood. Strong Medicine helps you understand what goes on in a hospital and what an ER, OBGYN doctor's day is like, including their personal lives. Right now the show includes doctor who just adopted two children, and another is trying to recover from her . If you are even the slightest bit curious about hospitals or a dramatic show, this is the one for you. Strong Medicine is on Lifetime 8:00 pm Sundays.
