The only halfway tolerable show I'd seen was House, and just because the guy was such a hilarious asshole to his staff and patients alike.

She started this one yesterday, and it was able to draw my interest away from my phone and actually give a shit what's happening.

I think the single shift format is the biggest hook, and everything seems pretty fast paced.

Some of the subject matter was pretty ****ing brutal, so it may not be for everyone.

I'm not easily bothered by things on TV but

Spoiler!

The little girl that drowned saving her little sister from the pool, the ineffective compressions and her parents being told that she's dead while her sister is making her a card thanking her for saving her, because the idiot grandmother let them outside unsupervised was just ****ing brutal. I'm not sure anyone with kids of their own wouldn't be at least slightly bothered by that segment.

Yea, that episode got me too. Probably my favorite episode of the series so far. But eh entire show is just so well done. Only unreal thing might be the amount of life or death situations that have happened in the 10 hours so far in the shift. But thankfully they show a lot of routine/urgent care as well.
