** Season 5 is probably the ''stupidest'' of the seasons, as Max’s attempts to improve life for everyone at the hospital, while well-intentioned, end up doing more harm than good and usually backfire for him in disastrous or unpredictable ways. Given that he’s dealing with the fallout of [[spoiler:being left at the altar]], however, it’s hard to fault him for this.

* {{Narm}}: The mourning scene for Roe v Wade being overturned comes off as melodramatic when you take into account the show takes place in ''New York'' which had no intention of using the decision to make abortion illegal in their state.

* HarsherInHindsight: Max and Helen finally get together in the fourth season premiere. They proceed to stay together for the entire season and even get engaged...only for Helen to call him in the finale and say that she can't come back to New York from London to marry him. Soon after that, Freema Agyeman announced that she won't be returning for the show's final season.

** The show takes aim at the profit-seeking nature of the the American healthcare system and how people suffer, and often die, due to being unable afford sky-high costs.
** The show also takes a stand against anti-vaxxers by drawing attention to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subacute_sclerosing_panencephalitis SSPE]], progressive brain inflammation caused by the measles virus. Although a person may not develop the measles after being exposed to the virus, the virus can lay dormant for years before settling in the brain and becoming active. There is no known cure and is almost always fatal. Those lucky enough to survive the initial onset face a lifetime of intense treatment to keep it at bay. The show points out that as more and more non-vaccinated children grow up, cases of SSPE will only become more common.

* CriticalDissonance: Despite subpar reviews from professional critics the series has been very popular with its audience, it as of the time of writing has 8.1/10 on IMDB and it has got high enough ratings to get renewed for up to a fifth season as early as the middle of Season 2.
