Plot
The refreshing aspect of this show is that it is not scripted. Unlike shows like House M.D or Grey’s Anatomy, Lenox Hill has real footages from an actual hospital. This unique show has been the recipient of good reviews. It is an honest effort to showcase the grueling work that the doctors do. The job of a doctor comes at a physical and emotional price. As the main participants are from different areas of specialization the show portrays a variety of patients. The patients range from teenagers to the elderly. Lenox Hill is real enough to accept the bureaucracy that comes with medical management. The show also shows the doctor’s personal life and precarious balance. The episodes of Lenox Hill do not lack symmetry. Season 1 has 8 episodes.

However, because of the pandemic, the film and production industry are taking a hit. The new season cannot possibly be filmed now. As a result, season 2 of Lenox Hill will also be delayed.
