4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, Mar 28 2011
This review is from: Strong Medicine : Season 1 (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 : Season 1 (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 : Season 1 (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!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time, a show of this quality was placed on DVD, Feb 27 2006
By T. L. Moss "drama tv queen" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Strong Medicine : Season 1 (DVD)
It's no surprise that Stong Medicine, has lasted so long on Lifetime, from episode one it was evident that this show was not just another medical show. Strong Medicine has strength and courage of the female kind. It's not very often we see a show so full of passion, conviction, and focus to educate women as well as men of the importance of womens health, physically and emotionally. Rosa Blasi character of "Dr Luisa Delgado", is so moving. It's performances like Rosa Blasi, Jenifer Lewis, and Joshua Cox that keep me on the edge of my seat. I love the show and I can't wait for the rest of the seasons to be available on DVD.....It's great and I can't wait.
