I’m not like a big fan of medical dramas. I only watched two of them: The Good Doctor and New Amsterdam.
I felt both of them were pretty much similar to usual procedural dramas, each episode focusing on a specific patient and the doctors treating them.
When I heard about SCRUBS, I was not sure whether to watch it or not .
After watching shows like Parks and Recreation, The Office, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, I searched for workplace related comedy shows. That’s how I found scrubs again, and I thought to give it a try.
Sat down to watch two or three episodes but ended up completing almost half of the series in the first day itself.
Scrubs tells the story from the point of view of JD, a medical intern at Sacred Heart Hospital. His childhood friend Turk is also an intern here, but in the surgical department.
Scrubs is all about human emotion. Even though it’s from the POV of JD, characters like the Janitor, other interns like Elliot who is the lead female in the show, along with nurse Carla and senior doctors like Bob and Cox, have equal importance in the show.
They all have a huge part to play in this show.
I completed watching the first season in two days, and I’m looking forward to knowing what the coming seasons can give me.
Definitely, this is that comedy show with brilliant writing. The thing about jokes is they may get older or outdated soon, so while watching a 2001 show, I was a little afraid this was going to waste my time. But Scrubs proved that good writing won’t get old.
So if you want to watch a light-hearted show, then definitely choose Scrubs. It won’t make you feel disappointed
P.S. This post had been sitting in my drafts since 2021 (or maybe even earlier). I finally decided to finish it and hit publish. Some things are worth revisiting. Scrubs is definitely one of them.
