The Resident is a medical drama television series that premiered on FOX in 2018. The show follows the personal and professional lives of the doctors and nurses who work at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital. The main character, Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry), is a third-year resident who is highly skilled but also quite cynical about the healthcare system. He takes a new intern under his wing, Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal), who is idealistic and eager to learn.

As the series progresses, viewers are introduced to a number of other characters, including Chief of Surgery Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood), who is arrogant and often makes reckless decisions; nurse practitioner Nic Nevin (Emily VanCamp), who becomes romantically involved with Conrad; and resident Mina Okafor (Shaunette Renée Wilson), who is passionate about her work but also struggles with personal demons.

Throughout the episodes, The Resident tackles a variety of medical cases and issues, including malpractice, insurance fraud, and the high cost of healthcare in the United States. The show is known for its strong writing and acting, as well as its willingness to take on controversial topics.

One of the major themes of The Resident is the flaws of the American healthcare system. The show portrays hospitals as profit-driven entities that often put their bottom line ahead of patient care. Doctors and nurses are shown struggling to provide the best possible care within the confines of a broken system.

Another theme of the show is the complex relationships between doctors and their patients. Conrad is portrayed as a skilled but brash physician who sometimes goes to great lengths to help his patients, even if it means breaking the rules. Meanwhile, Devon is depicted as a more cautious doctor who is still learning how to balance empathy with clinical expertise.

Overall, The Resident is a gripping and thought-provoking medical drama that takes a critical look at the healthcare industry. The show's talented cast and compelling storylines keep viewers engaged from episode to episode, while its message about the need for healthcare reform resonates with audiences.

In summary, The Resident is a popular medical drama series from FOX that explores the challenges facing doctors and patients in the modern healthcare system. With a talented cast, powerful writing, and a willingness to tackle controversial topics, the show has earned a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim.

The Resident is a series that is currently running and has 6 seasons (107 episodes). The series first aired on January 21, 2018.
