Title: Royal Pains Post by: Nerf on June 12, 2009, 02:07:41 AM New USA series, and they hit it out of the park. Young idealistic doctor saves an inner-city youth's life while simultaneously ignoring the routine operation on a billionaire hospital trustee. Things go horribly wrong, trustee dies, and doctor is blacklisted by every hospital..everywhere apparently.
His brother takes him on a weekend trip to the Hamptons where he suddenly finds himself a "concierge doctor" for the rich, living in a guest house that would make you cry of a billionaire whose castle would make baby jesus cry. Awesome fucking show, I was ecstatic that Burn Notice was back, and Royal Pains following it is just icing on the cake. Fuck yeah USA, thanks for making Thursdays so awesome. Edit: It looks like they might be trying to go House with it, which would be a huge mistake, they need to keep it funny and zany, not mystery illness of the week.

Especially the brother who acts like a 16 year old idiot and the two 16 year old idiots who act like 30 year old wine snobs. And the acting is mostly just awful. I don't get what's good about this show.

Title: Re: Royal Pains Post by: Chimpy on June 20, 2009, 08:52:46 AM I liked the Pilot episode. Muddled through the second episode, could not even get halfway through the third.
The increasing focus on the brother's little side schtick was not there, I could probably watch the show. As it stands I don't think I am even going to bother finishing watching the second episode or watching any new ones that come out.
