It is a series of dramas presented by Dr. William Rash who is not a normal doctor. William is a person who is not associated with any hospital, in addition to being very conservative regardless of the physical counterpart he takes from the patient to the medication. William has no desire to change his life or how to live it, but all of that will change when the old flame and its conscience begin to turn upside down.
You have an idea what to expect from Rush, the latest medical drama from cable kings USA. And yet the undeniable familiarity is manageable because of solid casting, strong production values, and an entertaining premise.
Since the creators clearly haven't thought through the show's ethics, viewers who just want to have a good time shouldn't either. The attractive cast and glossy cinematography provide enough distraction.
The world could do without another "physician heal thyself" protagonist whose renegade image is seemingly summed up by the decision to sport a three-day-growth beard.
That's the difference between even basic cable and premium cable shows: Protagonists still must be likable. In that, Rush brakes and trips over itself.
He may make house calls, but Rush lacks the sunny disposition - and the MacGyver-like skills - of his Royal Pains counterpart, and while Ellis exudes a certain dangerous charm, I found it wearing thin before the first episode was over.
Basically, Rush is USA's answer to House, albeit with a younger, hotter doctor... Rush doesn't seem overly serialized, which keeps it in line with traditional USA series, only this one is more gray-sky than blue-sky programming.
