Danson seemed ill-cast as a politically incorrect Bronx doctor. Yet he's settled into the role gracefully.
November 26, 2018
Political correctness aside, Becker's interpretations also serve as a platform from which controversial issues can be discussed. And it's in this way that this sitcom, like Becker himself, has something meaningful to offer.

Perhaps Mr. Danson's character is supposed to be a voice of reason in a world gone mad. Or maybe he's just a nasty jerk with a stethoscope in his pocket. Does it matter? This is a so-called comedy without one genuine laugh.
November 26, 2018
This is a show that doesn't feel the need to constantly tap-dance. It dares to stomp a little bit, to have some sting, to risk some political incorrectness.

Very sweet, very routine. It's Becker's outspoken darker side that's far more interesting, his driving hostility creating a tone that separates this series from most other sitcoms and a climate in which edgy humor can flourish.
