No matter how many hours you spent in classroom or labs or working on a cadaver, it cannot fully prepare you to work with real patients. And that is why we have the residency program in medical schools. In The Resident TV show on Fox, the focus is on a young resident doctor nearing completion and raring to go out in the real world. The Resident Season 2 continues to rip back the curtain and reveal the truth of what really happens, both good and bad, in hospitals across the country.

The Resident TV Show Plot
The new medical show focuses on a young doctor’s final years of training and rips back the curtain to reveal the truth of what really happens, both good and bad, in hospitals across the country.
The Resident TV show follows Dr. Conrad Hawkins, the new guy on the team, at the hospital that is headed by a surgeon who can no longer do his job, but persists anyway. Among people who have chosen to look the other way, we have a foul mouthed, maverick Conrad who manages to save lives. We have seen these similar characters in shows like House MD. and Genius, and this one seems to go in the same direction.
The Resident Season 2
The Resident Season 2 finds star resident Dr. Conrad Hawkins continuing to make difficult calls in the best interests of his patients. But, having rekindled a romantic relationship with nurse Nicolette “Nic” Nevins, the two now must face unresolved issues from their past. Conrad’s father, Marshall Winthrop, has taken over as head of Chastain, and comes into direct conflict with the hospital’s newly minted CEO, DR. Randolph Bell.
Meanwhile, DR. Mina Okafor continues to work with her larger-than-life mentor, Dr. AJ Austin. However, the skills of new ortho surgeon Dr. Kitt Voss could lead Mina on a different path. First-year resident Dr. Devon Pravesh becomes intrigued by new medical device rep Julian Booth, whose presence at the hospital will upend business as usual for everyone there.

The Resident TV Show Review
I loved House MD. Smart, Confident, and analytical. The character had a good mix of vulnerabilities and skills that was complemented extremely well by Hugh Laurie and a crisp, well-researched script. However, we cannot say the same about Conrad in The Resident. At least not yet. Matt Czuchry that we all loved in Gilmore Girls and The Good wife fails to make the character of Conrad likable in the first couple of episodes. His ingenious ways to save patients will perhaps change this perception in the coming episodes. But until them the show doesn’t give a lot to stick to this medical drama.
