It's been a few decades since "The Young Interns" but rather than get a US update, this one came from the French and what a great job they did. In fact the one big complaint about the show is that they threw away the opportunity to go to series with it. Why on earth did they only go the mini-series route? The characters, actors and stories could have lasted as many seasons as those involved wanted - assuming they could have kept the same levels of creativity. As with all well-written hospital/medical dramas, there's a wealth of story possibilities available involving patients, staff and a combination of both. The subjects chosen in these outings were involving and absorbing enough, even if the final episode seemed rushed in order to finalize some end of series loose ends.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
