The new series of Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey's Anatomy follows the adventures of a group of brave doctors struggling with the perils of South America among medical cases to the limit and love stories in soap opera style.
Gender medical within the international scene show has gained over the years, millions of viewers fascinated by the figure of the doctor-hero ready to do anything to save the lives of their patients . Now light years away The heyday of the series as General Hospital and M * A * S * H \u200b\u200b* , or the time of 'irresistible Dr. Ross ( George Clooney ) of ER: ER , we have learned over time to become attached even to scorbutic and misogynistic doctors like Dr. House ( Hugh Laurie ) in the homonymous series, rather than cosmetic surgeons "over the top" like those of Nip / Tuck . In 2001, the medical has taken a different turn, thanks to the unconventional and ironic for those involved in Scrubs , a handful of years later, exactly in 2005, the turning point comes with Grey's Anatomy , a true jewel in the world series tv, designed and created by Shonda Rhimes , now in its seventh season and was born in 2007 in the spin-off Private Practice .
Produced by Rhimes and Betsy Beers (Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice) and designed by Jenna Bans (Grey's Anatomy) the new Off The Map , aired from 12 January on ABC series that chronicles the adventures of a group of young doctors in the South American jungle. Shot in a corner of paradise in Hawaii, already set ai times Lost , Off the Map is set in ciudad de las estrellas , the "Star City", a small town characteristic of South America, home to the clinic Cruz del Sur, where a team of incorruptible and courageous doctors involved in rendering assistance to both local residents, too poor to pay for care and too far away from real hospitals, both to the many tourists who often find themselves the victims of the pitfalls of the place, including snakes, suspension bridges to nowhere and rugged cliffs.
Ben Keeton ( Martin Henderson ), Otis Cole ( Jason Winston George ) and Zita Alvarez ( Valerie Cruz ), the three doctors who run the clinic, very different from each other, but are equally prepared and competent: used to live in extreme conditions, often characterized by serious deficiencies from the medical point of view, the three, with the years have become experts on herbs and wild plants, in the treatment of certain diseases, and have learned to recognize the myriad obstacles that nature's standpoint, every day. To support their hard work, there's three young recruits escape from daily routine and a tumultuous history: Lily Brenner ( Caroline Dhavernas ), Mina Minard ( Mamie Gummer ) and Tommy Fuller ( Zach Gilford ) then come to Cruz del Sur with a strong background emotional behind, I decided to start from scratch to forget once and for all deeply painful experiences that have marked their path. Sensitive and instinctive, the victim of a cruel and ominous fate that took away her fiance in a tragic accident a few years earlier, Lily strikes from the start with its sweetness and its fragility, which immediately collide with the pragmatic and seconded to Dr. Keeton, yet linked to a troubled past that he can not overcome.
The first clashes between the character we have, however, apparently Fuller surface and the despotic Cole, so different yet so similar, and that from day appear to have difficulty in tying together. Inevitable comparison, in this case, Tommy Fuller and Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) Grey's Anatomy, two hotheads who, thanks to the discipline of medicine learn to keep at bay their rebellious character and unsympathetic, to meet the patients and grow significantly from the human point of view. Another similarity with the doctors of Seattle Grace , in addition to the plot packed with medical soap opera, you have to Mina Minard, Dr. icy and detached, emotionally and braking extremely rational as the most famous Cristina Yang ( Sandra Oh ). Seventh team member, the mysterious Ryan Clark ( Rachelle Lefevre ), a symbolic and charming girl, romantically involved with Ben and in some ways very similar to the sweet Izzie Stevens ( Katherine Heigl ) Grey, especially for the emotional which binds to its patients. The situations to the limit in which doctors often find themselves working and misadventures involving extreme patients, give the right amount of pathos to the series, touching the strings of the audience, overwhelmed by directing a fast and snappy and fits perfectly to the exciting and compelling storyline.
