Synopsis

TV Series (2006). 8 Episodes. From executive producer Peter Ocko comes a new medical drama about two elite neurosurgeons who have different takes on how to treat their patients. One cares about them and one who only cares about their brains.

Dr. Douglas Hanson (Stanley Tucci) is a brilliant neurosurgeon and one of the best in New York City. His method is simple. The brain is like a wire box and the patient is not important because that is just the outside. His new partner Dr. Jonathan Seger (Mark Feuerstein) has a totally different point-of-view that psychological health of his patient is the top priority. When these two top doctors are forced to work together on complex operations they are able forget their differences and perform life saving miracles.

Critics' reviews

"After one hour, we not only care about the patients - but care quite a bit about the doctors."

David Hinckley: New York Daily News
"Like on 'House', we go inside the body, zooming from nerve endings to the mind's exotic landscape, where surreal images convey mystery maladies. If only 3 LBS were as provocative."

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"The question is not whether '3 Lbs' is familiar and predictable, but whether '3 Lbs' is entertaining. It is, and mostly because it is so familiar and predictable."

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"Characters aren't fully formed; stories aren't arresting. Sometimes it even seems like the show was created from the transplanted organs of other series."

Barry Garron: The Hollywood Reporter
"It never finds a compelling vision while inside those heads to suggest it will be anything more than a good, but not great, hospital drama."

Tim Goodman: San Francisco Chronicle
"This show could use some brain surgery itself."

Linda Stasi: New York Post
