When Dr. Bashir Hamed, a charismatic emergency medicine doctor, flees war-torn Syria to forge a new life in Canada, he must redo his medical training from the ground up. He scores a residency in the Emergency Department of the best hospital in Toronto, but it's a tough road.
Wall Street Journal by John Anderson
The series will make its debut as the best medical show on American television, which is something given the competition (even just on NBC). And while it’s a bit early for a full-blown diagnosis, it may turn out to be one of the better dramas the network has ever had. ... The show operates at a very lofty level.
The Hollywood Reporter by Daniel Fienberg
It's not a hugely innovative or adventurous medical drama, but it plays the familiar beats solidly. What the series, created by Joseph Kay, understands is that if you have a good character or two, audiences will embrace an otherwise by-the-numbers medical procedural. Transplant has that and is that.
TV Guide Magazine by Matt Roush
Transplant may not be as exceptional as the good Dr. Bash, but it does the genre no harm. [14 - 27 Sep 2020, p.11]
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review by Rob Owen
Like “New Amsterdam,” “Transplant” is a high-gloss, middle-of-the-road broadcast drama. It’s “ER” with an immigration story overlay, but it doesn’t redefine the medical drama the way “ER” did in 1994.
Decider by Joel Keller
Transplant feels like two different shows: A gritty one about Bash’s experiences as a doctor in war-torn Syria, and how he brings his life experience to his job; and a standard medical drama with pretty people solving medical mysteries every week. And the two really don’t mix.
