Critics' reviews

"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)"

Robert Rorke: New York Post
"It’s basically 'Glee' plus 'Grey’s Anatomy,' with a streak of 'Scrubs' and a touch of 'The Lovely Bones'"

Emily Nussbaum: The New Yorker
"A series that is much more nuanced and thoughtful than it sounds."

Joanne Ostrow: Denver Post
"The writing is loaded with cheap sentimentality (...) The likability of the young cast members almost counterbalances the schmaltz."

David Wiegand: San Francisco Chronicle
"Cliches bounce off one another in a slick combination of gallows humor, inspirational bonding, deep thoughts and maudlin moments."

Tom Long: Detroit News
"'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."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
