I’ve never seen Scrubs before, as it was hard to find in my country. But now it’s on Disney+ here I’m binging it in antecipation of the return, which everyone says it’s great. And I’m stunned by the writing and acting of Dr. Cox.
I’ve only been exposed to him in tiktok clips, so I had this idea of the grumpy doctor that says funny things making fun of the other characters, like House in a sitcom. But this is a character with real depth, portraying a doctor that really cares for his patients, for his interns, while having a deep disbelieve in the system and a ton of self loathing.
I’m genuinely surprised.
