4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, Mar 28 2011
This review is from: Strong Medicine S1 Comp (DVD)
This was an engrossing and surprisingly addictive set of DVDs. I had a free weekend a few weeks ago, and I ended up watching almost the entire season in a few days! For the most part the story lines were engaging and, at times, downright heartbreaking (the one with the aids-stricken mother and child really comes to mind).

But the absolute best thing about the show (as much of it as I saw, anyway) was the two leads. Both terrific actresses and great characters. It was special to see such dynamo personalities butting heads and ultimately striking up a real kinship. Patricia Richardson was fantastic as the driven and anal but always caring Dr. Dana Stowe (and reminded me how much I want to see Northern Exposure) but this show belongs to Rosa Blasi. As a fiesty Puerto-Rican single mother with a passsion for helping girls and women beaten by the system, she glows with humor, ferocity and compassion. I didn't always agree with her take on things, but I did end up wanting to meet someone like her in person in a pretty bad way. Her scenes with her teenage son are my favorite parts of the show.


C'mon guys, get the rest of it on DVD already! Or at least the second season! Please?

5.0 out of 5 stars A `Strong' TV Show!, Nov 11 2005
By Raj "raj_thatsme" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Strong Medicine S1 Comp (DVD)
I have seen a lot of the episodes of `Strong Medicine' on Lifetime, and I feel that it is one of the most underrated TV shows being show today. It is a great show that portrays hope, life, relationships, and emotions in each episode. I am glad that this show is finally releasing on DVD, as we can get to watch the series from the beginning.

The story mainly revolves around Dr. Lu Delgado and Dr. Dana Stowe, two women who have nothing in common with each other, except for their passions in the field of work. They work in the Rittenhouse Women's Health Clinic, where they face new challenges, and solve new problems from performing plastic surgery to treating HIV positive patients. This DVD set contains the first 22 episodes of Season 1, which are:

01. Pilot
02. Preexisting Conditions
03. Misconceptions
04. Second Look
05. Performance Anxiety
06. Drug Interactions
07. Do No Harm
08. Miracle Cure
09. Dependency
10. BRCA1
11. BRCA2
12. Brainchild
13. Second Opinion
14. Side Effects
15. Blessed Events
16. Fix
17. Maternity
18. Complications
19. Childcare
20. Drugstore Cowgirl
21. Wednesday Night Fever
22. Mortality

Not only is this show moving, but you also learn something in each episode. Developed by Whoopi Goldberg and created by Tammy Ader, `Strong Medicine' has won numerous awards. Rosa Blasi (who plays Dr. Lu Delgado) won an Imagen Award for Best Actress in a Drama series. I doubt this DVD set will contain any special features, except for the standard ones like languages, and subtitles, but nevertheless, it is worth buying this DVD just to see the episodes.

Being sweet and sour at times, `Strong Medicine' is a wonderful drama that will definitely make you feel better.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring series, April 4 2007
By Michelle Raposa "Strong Medicine fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Strong Medicine S1 Comp (DVD)
This is one of the most inspiring series that I've ever seen. I have seen in the online message boards how many young girls have written to the actresses, talking about how this show has inspired them to become doctors. Many women are out there without good medical care or the means to provide for themselves. This show inspires us women who have nothing to become something. It is also a really cool drama that will open your eyes to diseases and other health related issues in a way that ER will not. ER is more focused on the relationships between the actors, where this show is focused on the health issues and their impacts on the people's lives. A very, very good show. I've gone as far as calling Sony directly, asking them to publish the rest of the seasons!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lively Weekend Discussion, Jun 4 2006
By E. Griswold - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Strong Medicine S1 Comp (DVD)
When Strong Medicine first came out, I indicated to to my girl-friend that she might like it. Strong Medicine quickly became her favorite series. While I normally avoid spending time in front of the television, I made a point of sitting with my future wife on Sunday evenings to end the week with a provocative episode of Srong Medicine. We always seemed to have an inteligent and lively discussion on the issues presented. When the first year of episodes came out, I was pleased to order a copy for Valentine's day. My wife was thrilled and we both are looking forward to the release of the second season.
