Paired with nervous new resident Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal), the show draws viewers into a world where every diagnosis, procedure, and emergency holds the potential for life-changing outcomes.
The series, created by Amy Holden Jones, Hayley Schore, and Roshan Sethi, has earned a respectable 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

One wrote: ‘Good for 4 seasons then starts to seem redundant. Same pattern: ER emergency-2 doctors diagnosis conflict-rare illness- emergency surgery- surgical botched/ complications- patient recovers.’
The viewers have urged ‘everyone to immediately’ watch The Burning Girls which first aired on Paramount+ last year and is based on the 2021 novel by CJ Tudor.
The series follows a reverend and her daughter who start a new life in a village that soon reveals its community’s dark history.
It stars Samantha Morton and Ruby Stokes and has become a fan favourite with viewers now that it has been moved to Netflix.
