I watched the first two episodes of Night Shift. I'd been waiting for this to come on, and by the time it did, I couldn't remember why.
It's set in San Antonio, and Brendan Fehr is in it. That's why.
The first episode didn't exactly suck, but holy crap, it was so over-the-top with stereotypes and cliches. There was a whole little side story with Brendan Fehr's character being gay, and not willing to come out because he's military and he'd lose his job.
That is not San Antonio. I grew up there. I realize they have to take some poetic license, but seriously. They didn't even try. And uh, no, dude, you won't lose your military job for being gay. You might for having a second job, though.
I'll probably watch a couple more episodes, just to be sure. Last night's episode was much better, but still pretty weak. I mean, how did surgeon-dude know that suicide-guy was even the right blood type, much less tissue type, to match the other guy that needed a heart? Tissue typing isn't magically done in minutes, y'all. Unless it is. Please feel free to correct me if you know.
At least all the stupid pretending to be Texas/Texan crap was gone.
But Brendan Fehr. Why can't he be in something good? That I actually watch. I loved him as Booth's brother, but I stopped watching Bones a long time ago. That's another show I'll probably binge watch someday when I have Netflix or something. It's too hard with my memory issues to keep up when months go by between episodes. Plus it got frakking boring.
