Unnecessarily woke
The concept isn't new and the execution somewhat cliché, but what concerns us is the overwhelming rub-in-your-face wokeness. Transgender patients, cast so diverse it might as well have be shot in Africa, all positions of powers (save one) held by women and POC.
Lots of gay, lots of social justice, lots of evil men and saintly women subjected to the plight of the downtrodden vagina.
While it starts out okay, the longer it goes on, the worse it gets.

Very good show overshadowed by agenda
The first two seasons were good, the third was tolerable but, by the middle of the 4th season, there was too much agenda built into the stories. It didn't get any better in the last season so I'm out.

Not 100% woke but close
For starters, the cast’s ethnic diversity doesn’t reflect American reality.
Furthermore, the good guys end up being Hispanic, Black, or otherwise non-Caucasian, while the bad guys are white—or, if they’re women, blonde.
In two out of three episodes, there’s at least one line about how hard life is if you’re a woman.
I’ve watched half of the first season, and doctors are arguing about cutting testicles in a transgender teenager.
There aren’t any gay characters in the cast yet, but I still have a lot of episodes left to watch.
