Hopkins: The Best Show on TV

Whether you like medicine or not, Hopkins is arguably one of the best shows on broadcast television this summer.

Because of the nature of the show, a reality drama, the producers could only shoot 6 episodes. Just recently, a seventh episode was announced (they had that one in their back pocket the whole time) but that will most likely be the last one until Grey's Anatomy comes back this fall to fill the slot.

What makes this show so great and well liked by people of all ages and professions? It shows the experience of medicine from all angles - the patient angle, the physician's, the families of the physicians. It's just superbly real.
