Resident, The: Season 1

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

An idealistic young doctor, Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal), gets a rough reality check when he begins his first day under the supervision of brilliant senior resident Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry). Together, Conrad shows Devon the harsh realities and difficult decisions that happen in a modern hospital every day. Meanwhile, Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood), the illustrious chief of surgery, is suffering from a hand tremor and is trying to keep it hidden from the whole outside world.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry, “The Good Wife”) is senior resident at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital in Atlanta in “The Resident.” He’s smart enough, also insufferable, and puts the new resident, Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal) through first-day-on-the-job torture. Pravesh rises to the challenge because, while Hawkins may be obnoxious, he fundamentally has a good heart. That may be why his ex-girlfriend, a nurse practitioner, Nicolette Nevin (Emily VanCamp, “Revenge”) and a young doctor from Nigeria, Mina Okafor (Shaunette Renée Wilson), put up with him. Meanwhile, there’s the top dog at Chastain, Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood), an ethically compromised careerist who kills patients under his care but somehow avoids the crush of medical malpractice suits he so richly deserves. Then there’s oncologist Dr. Lane Hunter (Melina Kanakaredes), who observes the zoo and its two alpha-male zookeepers from a cautious remove.
