I will admit, I came from a Stargate SG-1 background, so naturally I already fell in love with Michael Shanks. His performance is no less than flawless, as it has been in past shows and even low budget movies. His presence is great and just makes the show for me. It is sort of a mix of the "Grey's Anatomy"'s medical problems and a hint of "Awake". The only thing that does not remind me of another show, is that this show is AMAZING. I have cried for good and bad in every episode so far, and I believe that will continue but I don't mind. It is a tear-jerker for sure, but again I don't mind. The other great aspects of the show, are the excellent cast. Erica Durance and Daniel Gillies are the other main characters and their performance is no less than stunning either. Personally, there is not a single part of "Saving Hope" that I do not enjoy week after week, even five shows in. I have the want after every episode, to watch the next, then the next day, I watch the episode again on Hulu. No negative comments. I will be severely hurt if this show doesn't last a while.
