Amazon Prime Is Loading Up With Great Movies And Shows
Medical drama series have been a part of television for much of its long history. There have been any number of amazing shows centered around doctors, nurses, EMTs, and other healthcare professionals, with several of them based on real-life stories. While shows like “House, M.D.,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “ER” focus on the medicine and go into detail about the characters’ lives, there’s another series that’s a different take on the genre.
“Untold Stories of the ER” is a docudrama that tells true stories from emergency rooms — and it’s amazing television. The series premiered in 2004, running for 15 seasons and 157 episodes before concluding in 2020. The first 10 seasons arrived on Amazon Prime via Freevee, and they’re definitely worth your time.
The series features some of the craziest stories doctors could possibly tell, and many seem flat-out unbelievable. The actual doctors appear on the show, reenacting the stories that they narrate, but that’s not all. The patients are often the actual patients from the stories as well, giving the show a ton of authenticity. That said, some elements are added for dramatization purposes, and the acting isn’t always great. Despite this, it’s a riveting watch and an excellent escape for fans of medical shows.
