The Resident is the perfect binge for those who want a good amount of episodes to watch but also don’t feel like committing to 15 or 20 seasons of television, which is the case with long-running shows like ER and Grey’s Anatomy. The Resident ran for a little more than a hundred episodes, and viewers got to follow the titular character, Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry, from Gilmore Girls and The Good Wife) evolve from a third-year resident to an attending physician. The series takes place inside the walls of the Chastain Park Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.
During its six-season run, The Resident received enough praise to land a decent Rotten Tomatoes score — the series’ overall performance landed at a 75% audience score, meaning that viewers were mostly happy with it. Back when it premiered, the show stood out due to its blunt approach to the flaws in the American healthcare system. At the same time, it came under fire from health professionals who called out inaccuracies in the medical procedures depicted in the series.
