The writers like to pat their characters on the back by having their patients tell them they are great. I am already getting bored of it. I can't see this series lasting more than one season. I am surprised CBS hasn't yanked this one off the schedule already. The characters are flat and one sided. I don't get the racial stereotyping Boyle was giving. Comparing someone to Yo-Yo Ma isn't really a put down if you think of it. He is a genius. I didn't feel too bad when he announced he was not allowed to see his lover when he died. It isn't enough reason for him being such a douche. The show was trying too hard to get an emotional reaction, but the attempt fell flat.
