I'll never understand why all the TV producers think they can get away with cutting all the corners on writing.

My previous comment shows one possible reason - I said I didn't like one of her seasons and now I'm getting downvoted. There's a ready-made excuse to sling at anyone who criticizes the show.

I was actually excited to see a female doctor when it was announced, but I'm not going to like a show simply because of the gender or race or whatever of the actors. I saw that the quality of the writing was bad and so I left. The new season hasn't exactly enticed me back.
