Next up in my fall new TV show preview is CBS‘s new medical drama, Three Rivers, which takes places in Philadelphia and centers on the country’s preeminent transplant hospital – organ donors, recipients, and the surgeons and staff of the hospital. I’m interested to see how the characters and plot lines compare with other successful medical dramas – I think most would agree that ER, House and Grey’s Anatomy take some different (sometimes polar opposite) approaches to the drama, (some medical and some not-so-much) so I’m curious where on the spectrum Three Rivers will fall.
Stars: Alex O’Loughlin, Katherine Moennig, Daniel Henney, Justina Machado, Christopher Hanke, and Alfre Woodard (whom you might remember from Desperate Housewives).
Airs: Sundays, 9pm ET, premieres October 4.
