TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

anchorcustom please tell me this wasn't the series finale.... .We watched as he walked away last night wondering if the entire cast was going to continue, or would just he pick up somewhere else.....We were waiting to see if the one doctor, Carl Bell. was going to be found out as the jerk and manipulator he was portraying, and if the pharmaceutical representatives would be seen as forcing favors on individuals and hospitals for the opportunity to use them as guinea pig farms. Would the department head Nora Skoff find enough funding to be able to toss them (Bell and the drug representatives) out on their whatever. There were so many unanswered questions hanging at the end of this episode, we're hoping that it will return with some slowly released answers as the regular stories emerge.

dvd123 At some point in time, someone read this script. Somewhere along the line there were dailies of the pilot. Somebody pitched this.How, on God's green earth did five episodes get made? I'm flabbergasted. Someones's got to be related or having sex with somebody. Hopefully not both :) Let's face it, a LOT of mediocre pilots get made, fail, and then are quickly forgotten. I could see network brass saying to themselves, 'House is popular and this is a little similar, so let's greenlight a pilot.' But five episodes?!?Walk a bull into a China shop and who's fault is the outcome? The bull? Of course not. I just can't nail the creators to the wall here. They'd probably be the first ones to tell you that their abilities are limited. The fault of this lies squarely on the shoulders of the network. Whatever exec greenlit this- they shouldn't have a job. Period.

gizwiz1 I was drawn to this series because I enjoy House and as others have written this new series is a total and complete rip-off. There is absolutely nothing in this new series that is not copied in it's entirety from House other than Chris Vance was allowed to keep his London England accent where apparently Hugh Laurie was discouraged of using his lineage as part of the character. Even the sets look remarkably similar to the House sets. What is it about Producers they they can apparently come up with one new idea every 25 years or so? Other than the concept of the medical issue being in the head instead of in the brain, mechanically or chemically, this is FOX trying to suck the blood out of an existing successful concept in to another series that they can drain some more revenue and treat the viewing public as if they are blithering idiots that will absorb any amount of non-creative crap they might put in front of us. I'm a huge, huge fan of House for it's completely new story concept and approach to creating new characters and their relationships in interesting newly invented stories after years of being drowned in Medical dramas that are forced on us by the networks that are recycled and worn out trash, but Mental is a cheap and sorry copy of a the type of Masterpiece you might find painted in Felt at a Flea Market. Mental is Three Dogs playing Poker on Felt where House is the Mona Lisa.This is not to say that the actors are not trying, or talented. However Fox should be ashamed of themselves and the actors should really know better than step in to the shadow of another's shoes for a remake while the original movie is still playing. I will not give Fox the satisfaction of watching any more episodes.

h_i_d_d_e_n They copied every routine detail house series: - conflicts with female boss(Lisa Cuddy clone), - weird undiagnosed illnesses that others can't cure, - contradictory diagnoses, - giving orders to other doctors, - time shortage, - crazy-looking and unexpected behavior, - and even "braking and entering" but instead of coping movie's personality they should concentrate on more important factors such as: - quality acting, - quality camera-work, - quality sound... Oh yes and quality ideas... I surprised fox even showed it. Yes, I watched 1st episode to the last minute, I thought maybe they at least have an interesting idea, but no...
