What to watch next? It’s the age-old question we all ask after finishing a great series — and with so many streaming options out there, finding the next binge-worthy show can be overwhelming.
If you’re on the hunt for a gripping series that’s been gaining serious buzz lately, head over to Netflix and check out The Resident. Originally canceled by Fox, this medical drama has found new life — and a whole new audience — on one of the world’s biggest streaming platforms.
The series centers around a group of doctors at Chastain Memorial Hospital — and no, this isn’t your average medical drama.
In the very first episode, we meet Devon, a bright-eyed new intern who starts his residency full of ambition. But it doesn’t take long for reality to hit hard. During one of his first cases, he performs CPR on a young woman for nearly 30 minutes. Though he manages to restart her heart, she’s left brain-dead — a devastating outcome that sets the tone for the series. It’s a powerful moment that challenges not just the characters, but the audience too, showing that in medicine, not every victory feels like a win.
Beyond the high-stakes medical cases, The Resident also dives deep into the personal lives of its main characters — their relationships, struggles, and emotional highs and lows.
The series features a strong ensemble cast, including Matt Czuchry (best known as Logan from Gilmore Girls), Manish Dayal, Bruce Greenwood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Tasso Feldman, and Emily VanCamp.
Originally airing from 2018 to 2023, the show found a second life after landing on Netflix — quickly climbing into the platform’s Top 10. Viewers have praised its gripping plotlines and standout performances, celebrating how it steers away from the overly glossy, feel-good formula typical of many medical dramas.
“I haven’t put this show down since I picked it up on Netflix,” one fan wrote on Netflix Bangers. “I’m finally almost done with Season 3. Whewwwww.”
“Soooo good! I’m on season 5 now and can’t stop watching!” another added, while a third simply called it “outstanding.”
With all this renewed buzz, who knows — Netflix just might give The Resident a new pulse with a spin-off.
