The doctors at Chelsea General Hospital in Portland, Ore., never look forward to Monday mornings. The staff, led by Dr. Harding Hooten, the robotic, ultraserious chief of surgery, and Dr. Jorge Villanueva, the hospital's celebrated trauma chief, is made up of some of the top surgeons in the world, but of course no one is perfect. It's a stark reminder Dr. Hooten delivers each Monday in the hospital's notorious morbidity and mortality conference, a harsh, closed-door review of the complications encountered and mistakes made during the course of patient care. "Monday Mornings," a drama from David E. Kelley ("The Practice," "Ally McBeal") and based on the book by CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, follows the lives of Chelsea's doctors as they fight against often-impossible odds to save their patients. And when mistakes are made, it's up to their colleagues to find out what went wrong and why.

Critics Consensus
A terrific cast and a fresh look at the medical industry does not save Monday Mornings from feeling forced, manipulative, and flooded with unrealistic characters.

What at first seems to be a bog-standard medical drama eventually reveals itself to be something more, and Kelley practices remarkable restraint with his characters and storytelling.

Good to see Kelley back doing what he has done so well before -- smart, compelling, provocative dramatic TV. Monday Mornings should be a winner for TNT.

In theory, moving to cable should allow Kelley greater freedom to do his thing without the added pressure of pleasing a major network. That's why it's even more disappointing that Monday Mornings turns out to be so warmed-over and dull.

While Monday Mornings has a lot of heart (both literally and figuratively) it requires an even stronger stomach.
