Overview

  • Episode 2 debuted Jan. 15 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max, with new installments every Thursday and the Season 2 finale set for April 16, 2026.
  • Warner Bros. Discovery reports 5.4 million U.S. viewers for the Season 2 premiere in its first three days, nearly 200% above the Season 1 debut, rising to 7.2 million to-date.
  • The latest episode introduces a generative‑AI “patient passport” that transcribes visits, and an early error in its notes underscores the need for physician review.
  • Ongoing arcs include Dr. Robby’s planned three‑month sabbatical, a low‑key connection with case manager Noelle Hastings, and Dr. Frank Langdon’s probationary return after rehab.
  • Reviewers highlight the series’ granular medical realism and an affecting dementia storyline, noting that the show’s real‑time format remains a standout strength.
