Excellent, smart action film.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This is truly a great Canadian show. The writing is always heartfelt and intelligent, the acting powerful and a testament to Canada's talent, and the technical side wonderfully done. A particular favourite of mine is the multi-angle camera shots, which are truly a thing of beauty. If you're a fan of other medical shows, or just of a good dramatic series, Remedy is more than worth watching. Like its contemporaries, Remedy profiles the personal, professional, and political ins and outs of life with the hospital. However, it provides a unique approach to the subject, driving home incredible narratives about family, career, addiction, and strength, with a distinctly Canadian feel. This show deserved far more than the 2 seasons it got.

Ah, Remedy. It killed me to bid farewell to a well-written and well-cast Canadian television program. The drama/comedy gave me hope that there was a bright future for Canadian television. I went in thinking it'd be like Grey's Anatomy (not a fan), but came out pleasantly surprised and as a full fledged fan. Each episode was based on a true story, which I really appreciate. There's nothing better than when a TV show is relatable. Also, I feel that its family dynamic is responsible for the cult following. If you are not yet aware of the plot, Remedy follows a family that works in a big-city hospital (filmed in Toronto and Hamilton). You have the prodigal son who was lost, found, and then lost again in the downstairs of the hospital, while his two sisters and father work upstairs making and cleaning up messes of their own. It doesn't get realer than that. The show itself wasn't the only thing I loved. The social media team made a point of interacting with all of Remedy's viewers and fans. Each week they hosted a live-tweet. I cannot count how many times my tweets were favourited and retweeted. They are also very supportive of members of the press. As a host and writer who interviewed a couple of Remedy's cast members, I was connected with other writers and hosts via a #FollowFriday shoutout. It is very unfortunate that the show was cancelled after only 2 seasons. I hope that Global will reconsider its decision or that Remedy will relaunch digitally.

I'm stuck watching this because my wife does. The show should be called the fighting hospital or hospital fighting family. It's on the level of the red green show. I've been waiting for red green to make a cameo instead of trying to be funny it's fighting and arguing. I know this might be a surprise but there is room for better story lines. I really don't know why they have other actor's on cause it always centers around the four actors. I hope it gets better the second time around. What's this ten line thing I can say what needs to be said in less. But I guess we all have to sound uneducated. So with this being said it should be enough.

This is the ugliest family put together since the Manson's hit the dessert. The one daughter keeps trying to kill people on the table. Dad uses blackmail to keep a drug addict that has proved incompetent employed at the hospital. The mother is a pizztank and the son is a tweaker. The other daughter left needles where a worker could get HIV from it and then the family covered it up. They use relationships like a shirt. They pull it on in the morning and dump it in the hamper at night. No one seems to be able to escape their unholy clutches. People are trapped like rabbits in the headlights. The entire family uses their friends like dirt. I am not a coward but I shudder now every time I see a hospital. I wonder if it could be harbouring a crazed bunch of home grown incompetent narcissist lunatic users like Remedy has for staff. This should be on the horror network.
