Beyond the ED: What to Watch After Chicago Med
So, you've binged every season of Chicago Med, huh? You've seen it all: the dramatic surgeries, the heartbreaking patient stories, and the doctors who are somehow both incredibly competent and emotionally unstable. Okay, maybe that last part is a bit of a generalization, but you get the point.
If you're craving more medical drama, fear not, my friend. The world of television is full of white coats and stethoscopes, just waiting for you to explore. Let's dive in!
The Obvious Choices
- Grey's Anatomy: This one's a classic for a reason. It's like Chicago Med, but with more Seattle, more drama, and a soundtrack that will have you singing in the shower (or at least humming). But beware: prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions that will make you question your life choices.
- The Good Doctor: If you like your medical dramas with a side of heartwarming, this is your jam. It's about a young autistic surgeon who’s a genius in the OR but struggles with social interactions. It's both inspiring and heartbreaking.
For Those Who Like a Bit More Grit
- Code Black: Think Chicago Med on steroids. This show is all about the chaos of an understaffed ER. It's intense, it's stressful, and it's oddly addictive.
- The Resident: If you enjoy a good conspiracy theory, this show is for you. It follows a young doctor who discovers that not everything is as it seems in the hospital. It's a mix of medical drama and medical thriller.
For a Change of Pace
- New Amsterdam: This show is different from the others on this list because it focuses more on the hospital as a whole, rather than just the ER. It's got heart, humor, and a good dose of social commentary.
- House: Okay, so this one is a bit older, but it's still worth mentioning. Dr. House is a brilliant but grumpy diagnostician who's always one step ahead of everyone else. It's a great show if you like puzzles and medical mysteries.
