	Author	Review
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"It’s 'The Breakfast Club' set in the pediatric ward of LA’s Ocean Park hospital (...) There’s nothing wrong with these kids that an overdose of saccharine won’t cure (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker	"It’s basically 'Glee' plus 'Grey’s Anatomy,' with a streak of 'Scrubs' and a touch of 'The Lovely Bones'"	NEG
United States	Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"A series that is much more nuanced and thoughtful than it sounds."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The writing is loaded with cheap sentimentality (...) The likability of the young cast members almost counterbalances the schmaltz."	NEU
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"Cliches bounce off one another in a slick combination of gallows humor, inspirational bonding, deep thoughts and maudlin moments."	NEU
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"'Red Band Society' has a tone that is both sassy and sorrowful, a carefully calculated balance of humor and sentiment. The pilot episode, however, leans too heavily on emotional tugs."	NEU
