Doctor Odyssey

Joshua Jackson does george clooney in the E/R on a boat. That seems to be the concept of this series. Joshua Jackson got the greyish hair, the george clooney voice and charm, heck he is a spitting image of george clooney, its quite amazing actually.

The other lead actors are miami vices Don Johnson and fresh face actors Phillipa Soo and Sean Teale. Acting is overall good, but the story has so far not made any room for anything challenging. Its been very simple, quick and superficial.

The story is as mentioned quite uncomplicated. Its slightly sitcom-ish and surrounds the emergency medical staff on a cruise ship.

The good of this series is its freshness and elegance. Its easy to digest and its without 'the message'.

The bad is that its too simple, too lighthearted. The characters are very much caricatyrs and not acting like real people. I for one prefer realness above actingness.

Oh yeah, the story takes place on a boat mostly at sea, which limits the storyline somewhat but most of the phootage never give away that its played on a boat, so it gets kinda stuffed and closed in.

6/10.
