Product: Strong Medicine - The Complete First Season (2000)
Rating: 5.0
A `Strong' TV Show!
I have seen a lot of the episodes of `Strong Medicine' on Lifetime, and I feel that it is one of the most underrated TV shows being show today. It is a great show that portrays hope, life, relationships, and emotions in each episode. I am glad that this show is finally releasing on DVD, as we can get to watch the series from the beginning.The story mainly revolves around Dr. Lu Delgado and Dr. Dana Stowe, two women who have nothing in common with each other, except for their passions in the field of work. They work in the Rittenhouse Women's Health Clinic, where they face new challenges, and solve new problems from performing plastic surgery to treating HIV positive patients. This DVD set contains the first 22 episodes of Season 1, which are:01. Pilot02. Preexisting Conditions03. Misconceptions04. Second Look05. Performance Anxiety06. Drug Interactions07. Do No Harm08. Miracle Cure09. Dependency10. BRCA111. BRCA212. Brainchild13. Second Opinion14. Side Effects15. Blessed Events16. Fix17. Maternity18. Complications19. Childcare20. Drugstore Cowgirl21. Wednesday Night Fever22. MortalityNot only is this show moving, but you also learn something in each episode. Developed by Whoopi Goldberg and created by Tammy Ader, `Strong Medicine' has won numerous awards. Rosa Blasi (who plays Dr. Lu Delgado) won an Imagen Award for Best Actress in a Drama series. I doubt this DVD set will contain any special features, except for the standard ones like languages, and subtitles, but nevertheless, it is worth buying this DVD just to see the episodes.Being sweet and sour at times, `Strong Medicine' is a wonderful drama that will definitely make you feel better.
