Awsome Season Opener!! hide show
Great open to a new season and so much drama to begin the season off with!! I love this show and Naomi and Addison are struggling in their realationship as well as Naomi and Sam and Violet and Cooper and Pet.... Oh I cannot wait for this season to get even more juicy. Honestly I have been waiting for this show to come back for a long time and I am still a diehard fan and am completely hooked on this season already! Shonda is amazing and I hope the season goes well and gets picked up for many years to come...
A new definition of Television. hide show
Kate Walsh was right, this season was going to be big. Private practice gave a beautiful season opener, it was very entertaining and it had me laughing from beginning to end. Each medical case was very interesting, not to mention the relationships. Of course I have to say I loved Addison in this one as always and that HOT cop, "Go and SWAT something" lol. Addison is continuing her fun role here. What about Cooper and Charlotte, who would have thought, though I actually like this couple even though Charlotte might not be so keen on the word 'couple'. Other than that I loved season one and I'm loving season two.
The practice is falling apart hide show
At the end of season 1 I was not sure I would keep watching. However I've been tempted to give it a shot for the season 2 premiere. No regrets!
The pace was great - it used to be too slow - and the medical cases very interesting not to mention the personal drama. Naomi is demoted and replaces by Sam just when she agreed on giving their marriage a second chance, Violet is losing her best friend and Pete is turned down by Addison.
Actually I'm quite happy with Addison trying something with officer Kevin - even though I'm still mad at David Sutcliffe for his role as Chris in Gilmore girls and his responsibility in the Lorelai and Luke's breakup, I know digression...
I think there is more material there than with Pete. Enough with the relationships inside the practice. It's nice to see an outsider. I'm pretty sure Dell is not gone for good. Too bad because I really think he's useless and boring, just like in Veronica Mars.
I love the cases on this show, they had some major ethical issues to deal with this episode. hide show
I hadn't seen this show in such a long time and I mostly decided to watch it out of obligation. I started out not too focused on it but I ended up watching closely and needing to know what would happen. The medical cases with the ethical issues were great. I had no idea how they would end and it was really interesting to see what they would decide to do. There was a lot of times were I was shocked by what was going on and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Going broke was also good, it's good to have a bigger ongoing problem for the characters to deal with. A lot of people were complaining that the main characters were too focused on their love lives and not enough on being a doctor. But this is kind of how hospitals are. The doctors are so used to all the cases and it is nothing out of the ordinary.
