"Saving Hope" review by Suzanne
Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC

This is an interesting show. It's very romantic. The show is about a doctor, Charlie, head of surgery, who goes into a coma and then haunts his own hospital. He's just about to get married to his fiancee, Alex, another doctor at the hospital.  We watch as she struggles with his condition as well as works on patients.

There are other doctors, including the hunky Joel, whom Alex used to date.  Most of the show centers around Charlie, who narrates the show. Charlie can see other coma patients, and some dead people as well. The show reminds me a bit in tone of the movie "Somewhere in Time".

Another thing I like about the show is that it's a little vague about what's happening. It's not religious about the afterlife, but it's not entirely supernatural, either. The actors do a great job. I mostly started watching it because I just loved Michael Shanks (Charlie) in "Stargate SG-1" and "Smallville", plus it also has Erica Durance (Alex), who played Louis in "Smallville" and Danielle Gilles (Joe), who sometimes plays Elijah on "Vampire Diaries". It's really a great cast.

At any rate, it's a very good show that makes you tune in every week to see what's going to happen next. You should definitely check it out!
