Episode Description
ER: "Ambush"
What could make a tense hospital drama known for its realism and practical effects be even more challenging? Airing an episode live! We're talking about perhaps the most famous episode of the seminal series ER, where a documentary crew ambushes the doctors on a particularly busy night, and the east and west coasts watched it unfold in real time. We talk about the anxiety of medical dramas, Alex Kingston's very British introduction of Dr. Corday, an awkward HIV scene, and whether it's worth throwing out narrative strengths to deliver on an artistic gimmick.
