This is one of my all time favorite shows. If I miss the first run, I can watch it on my computer on Fox TV. While it may not be totally realistic, what TV drama is? It is moving, and very sensitive to mental health issues. The series seemed to get off to a slow start with the first two episodes while it established characters, but now it's hit its stride. I'm a consumer, bipolar with major depression, and an active mental health advocate with NAMI. I'm very impressed with the character of Jack Gallagher. We need more people like him who will rock the system for the good of their patients. I hope this series is very successful and continues for many years.
