Review - Off The Map Season 1 Episode 1 Saved by the Great White Hope

Exotic location, medical work, pretty faces... what more could we ask for? It's a rhetorical question, but the show may become a success given the pedigree and the fact that Grey's Anatomy still attracts a huge audience. Everything about Off The Map what you'd expect from Shonda Rhimes, the melodrama, the relationships, the fun moments of levity.

There's nothing about "Saved by the Great White Hope" that will remain a lasting memory however We see the new doctors, learn their backstories (dished out in rigid format), see them do medical stuff, but nothing about the plot or characters that makes me want to come back. It goes at clockwork precision--accurate, paced well, acted fine, and at the end of day, everything you'd expect and nothing more.

Score: 7.3/10
