Plot
The series "Clinic" begins the same way as many other similar pictures - new inexperienced residents, graduates of a medical university, who have yet to become real doctors, come to work in the hospital. In each series, they find themselves in interesting, sometimes dangerous, sometimes funny situations and try to find a decent way out of them. The series lasts a long nine seasons, so that newcomers have time to climb the career ladder.

Protagonist: John Dorian
Friends call him JD, Karl's nurse is Bambi, and Dr. Cox is My Girl and other female names. John Dorian is a general practitioner. Incredibly infantile and sensitive, but incredibly charming and responsible doctor. He easily finds a common language with any patient, even the most capricious, he loves unicorns very much, gets to work on a moped, and legends are written about his hair style. Dorian often dreams and presents himself as a character in funny stories. In the series, he often starts novels, but all his relationships end in failure. This happens until he meets his true love.
Turk and Carla
Turk is a surgeon and best friend of JD, with whom they have been friends since school years. The guys became so friends that they easily read each other’s thoughts, always support and in everything. This happens until Turk falls in love with Carla. Carla is a nurse, she has been working in the hospital for several years and considers herself smarter than many doctors. She often gives out unsolicited advice, but usually they turn out to be pretty accurate, although they cause irritation. However, everyone loves and respects Karl.
Eliot Reed
Eliot is a man’s name, but Dr. Eliot Reed is a charming girl with blonde hair. Because of her good looks, many do not take her seriously, which causes a lot of suffering. The sarcastic and harsh Dr. Cox throughout the series calls Eliot nothing more than "Barbie." She was born in a very rich, but not very prosperous family: her mother treats her daughter scornfully, and her father all the time reminds that a woman will never be able to become a real doctor, maybe, at most, a gynecologist. As a result, Eliot grew up becoming notorious, too self-critical, and nervous.
Dr. Cox
Perry Cox is a doctor and mentor for JD, Grater and Eliot. This is a nervous, even hysterical doctor who sincerely worries about patients, but hides his anxiety behind a mask of bitterness. He has a peculiar style of training residents: Dr. Cox shouts, insults and says that they will not achieve anything. Thus, he challenges young doctors, teaches them to think, make the right decisions and take responsibility for them. Perry is a controversial but generally positive character who eventually begins to arouse sympathy among the audience. Throughout the seasons of the Clinic series, Cox has experienced one after another personal crises, which are very exciting to watch.
Dr. Kelso
Dr. Robert Kelso is the head physician of the clinic. By the degree of cynicism, this character will give odds to anyone. Dr. Kelso runs the hospital with a firm hand, but the plot twists reveal his true essence - an evil, cynical doctor dearly loves his wife, who is confined to a wheelchair, takes care of patients, as well as the staff of the clinic. The actor managed to perfectly play this multifaceted, complex and ambiguous hero, and thanks to him the series "Clinic", according to reviews, became even brighter.
Cleaner
Perhaps this is one of the most interesting and mysterious characters in the series "Clinic". He invents the best jokes and practical jokes for JD, trying to turn the life of a young doctor into hell. The cleaner is keen on making stuffed animals, meets a girl named Girl and is the leader of a local music group.
General impressions
Throughout the seasons, according to reviews, the series "Clinic" looks at one go. Only in the last two seasons is there a slight tightness and contrivedness of the plot, although the series are still quite funny. The authors selected a wonderful, beautiful soundtrack, although it may seem a little old-fashioned to many. But critics should make a discount on the old age of the picture - the series began to be shot back in 2001, but it still looks quite modern.
