this is quite possibly - no, definitely - my favorite television show of all time. absolutle brilliant imo.
the characters all have these insane plots revolving around them. for example the wife of doctor 1 now thinks their son may actually be doctor 2's, goes to confront him about it, and ends up not saying anything because doctor 2 tells her he's having a child after a 1 night stand with this chick he met in a sex addiction group. meanwhile, the son and his friend got stoned, hit a girl while driving home and put her in the hospital with serious disfiguring injurys that his dad has to fix pro bono because her parents don't believe in anything but prayer for healing. anyway - no one knows who did it, so he gets off without punishment, but he deals with his guilt by visiting her every day and when she finally heals, becomes her trusted friend while his friend never deals with the guilt and is going nuts. crazy f*cked up.
other highlights -
the son tries to circumsize himself
the mother flushes her daughters gerbal
they (unknowingly) remove incriminating evidence on a child molesting priest
doctor 2 trades his girlfriend for a car
it goes on and on.
definitely recomend, awesome show, best thing on tv by far - fx tuesday nights
btw, the blood and guts is very minimal. there is usually one scene per episode that shows surgery/blood, and it may be graphic, but its not really a huge part of the show.
