Based on the award-winning Spanish series "Polseres Vermelles," this unconventional and provocative high school drama follows a group of young patients in the pediatric ward of Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles.
As its young patients confront questions of life and death which nobody at that age should be faced with, a kinship based on these shared experiences is created among them – a lasting bond represented by the red hospital bands issued to them upon admittance.

a coming of age teenage angst drama
all the dialog was written like a soliloquy, it was overly contrived and trite. absolute garbage writing mixed with transparent acting. talk about typecasting; we must have an angry black nurse with an alpha male personality, blonde bitchy cheer leading queen bee, who by the end will be humbled and have gained some humanity and empathy, an adorable coma kid that everyone hopes will pull through (who obviously will in a season finale type episode) a kid who is black, so he must have a fake id and obviously be into drugs, theres the token gay male nurse, and the cancer kid who despite rounds of chemo has groucho marx eyebrows. the medical procedure is so wrong that it completely shatters the illusion of drama, i also dont understand why they are all inpatients? there is also the over use of the floating camera or steadicam shots and finally the use of the phrase "yolo"... by the black kid no less. i mean thats what hes expected to say...right? pull the plug on this one, DNR, its completely facile
Along the same lines, my wife and I both enjoy this show. Could some things be better? Sure. How many episodes so far? two? I hope they give this one enough time to gel.
I'm curious how they can spin a series out of this.
