I don’t want to be rude against the writers of this pilot but it’s gonna be hard. I don’t know much about Amy Holden Jones; she wrote movies that were popular in the 90s but not very good in my opinion. Since then… she got money out of the Beethoven sequels that she didn’t write herself and decided to enter the TV world in 2014 starting with ABC failed medical soap Black Box. She’s back with another medical fare, co-written with people who works for Code Black. I have to say I’m impressed: she did kid movies, summer movies, horror movies, thriller movies, romance movies… and now medical shows. What a queen! But sorry, The Resident (aka Kings County) is not her best work. Not at all. It lacks a vision, credibility and subtlety. And some more. But good news for her: the other medical pilot FOX ordered fell apart and they don’t have many other choices. Plus, they attracted quite a sexy and diverse cast. So there’s a real chance it ends up on our screens next year… and gets cancelled pretty quickly?
