I have seen Tom Ellis is other things, comedy/drama, and have always thought he could go places, and deserved to go places. I have to admit I am a fan of his which makes me biased. I have read the other reviews and cannot understand why anyone would comment on his bad behaviour. It's his bad behaviour that makes his character, we are watching a doctor disillusioned by the way he has been treated and who then takes his actions into his own hands. He has a conscience, but he keeps it under lock and key, he helps people even if he doesn't want to, his humanity is still there. I like Rush as a character. People seem to think if you are a doctor you do it out of the goodness of your heart and helping is a calling. That is obviously true in some cases, and maybe with Rush at one time as well, but a great percentage do it for the money. Let's see how he develops, I just hope he doesn't turn into some do gooder.

I was chocked to find out that they canceled this show! my disappointment was out of this world they made quite the build up for a second season in their season finally and then nothing, and what do they leave it for? satisfaction.... the shows had basically the same ratings how they didn't go for Rush i can't understand. For anyone who hasn't seen it the i would recommend it. Rush i think is a solid character and the whole addiction, love and family issues really drags me in. plus i like the guy that plays Manny and would have loved to see him evolve in a second season.

Praying that it gets picked up by someone else.

I hated this show when I first watched it. I thought it was shallow with a very unlikable lead; someone doing drugs and behaving in an immature and self-destructive manner is not new or interesting. I stuck with it, however, to see what direction it would go in, and am happy to say that it improved. As we gained more background knowledge of the characters and the stories focused less on the "bad boy" behaviour, it started to pull me in. There is good chemistry between the characters, except for Sarah, who remains one-dimensional.

I used to love House and really don't see the comparison, so should you decide to view this show, don't compare, just treat it for what it is, light entertainment. And give it a chance, it does improve.

Last time I wrote a review I did it in defense of a show that deserved to be defended. This time I'm likely the first (amongst IMDb users that is).

I probably wouldn't have heard about this show if I hadn't stumbled on it's premiere by accident. Which would have been a shame to be honest.

I was very positively surprised watching the premiere episode unlike with most shows these days where the hype gets built up by promos and trailers only for it all to end with a big disappointment come premiere day.

One thing that I don't get about the general information on the show is the genre. It's listed as Action/Drama, which is accurate but what is missing here is a Comedy tag.

The show is genuinely funny!

But it's the Joss Whedon meets Nathan Fillion meets House M.D. kind of funny for people who know what I mean. Comedy here is how the characters - or rather the main character - handles day to day situations and interacts with others.

For some reason Comedy genre tag has lately been reserved for those 20- something minute dumb sitcoms which I honestly cannot bear to watch. The quality of humour in those is below what I'd qualify as pathetic.

The show is very entertaining and pleasant to watch. However as I've mentioned before only a single episode premiered so far, offering everyone who enjoyed it so far a great opportunity to feel disappointed still.

This one's from USA so I'm hoping that will not be the case.

I started watching this program because it came on before Satisfaction. The good news it is I like it much better. At first I was upset a doctor could do this. Be a drug addict. My daughter is a doctor and I am a nurse. After watching this program, I realized it was just great drama. It is the writing that is great. It moves fast and the plot keeps going. The characters are clear on who they are without confusion. It involves some humor at times. It is close to what life is. How people get messed up. This is for real.. In the real world people do this kind of crap. I have seem it myself in the 30 years of nursing. It is better than Grays Anatomy. Not just pretty people and made up unbelievable situations. I can see some of this happening. Keep up the good work. I do hope they keep this program going. They should drop the satisfaction if they need space for a program.. It is so slow and poor writing. You can tell this writer has some experience about these types of situations. Keep up the good work... WB

I love Tom Ellis from watching Lucifer and that's how I stumbled on this show by searching for more of his shows. The characters, Lucifer and Rush, have some similarities and just enjoyable to watch. Wish there was more of Rush to watch. Love you Tom!

While flawed, Rush is a basically a good person and will do the right thing. Tom Ellis and Larenz Tate are hot and have great chemistry as best friends. All the characters Eve, Manny, Laurel are fun to watch. And,the nonstop action keeps the episodes interesting. It has the same flow as Royal Pains with the edginess of House.

With every cable channel getting new scripted shows, there are few that hold my interest. Rush is one of the few that does. I make a point of watching the new episode when it first televises rather than later on demand.

I got my daughter to watch and she loves it as well. This show should be renewed. The cast ensemble chemistry works well. Thanks.

Dr. William P. Rush (Tom Ellis) is a drug-addicted running his own cash-only private concierge practice. He got let go from his hospital job by his father (Harry Hamlin). He's supported by enablers Dr. Alex Burke (Larenz Tate), Eve Parker (Sarah Habel), and petty criminal Manny Maquis (Rick Gonzalez). His life gets more complicated when he meets his father's young wife Corrine (Rachel Nichols). Then his ex Sarah Peterson (Odette Annable) comes back into his life.

It's a dash of 'House' and a pinch of 'Royal Pains'. There isn't much new in this. While it probably deserves renewal a little more than some others, I don't see any particular outcry for it either. It starts off slowly with Rush not being so likable. However he does show that he has a heart of gold inside a very flawed personality. This is a show that could have worked in years past.

I'm sad they canceled it. Good characters, plot line, and acting in my opinion. It seems to have enough love, sex, and intrigue to please everybody. I can't understand what's not to like. There's the tension with his father and stepmother. Then there's his love interest as well as his protégé/assistant for strong female characters. There's also his best friend, the ER doctor, who sometimes acts as his moral compass. Finally, his patients are the rich & famous who have a reason for not wanting mainstream medical care. It all combines for a fascinating storyline in my opinion. Definitely better than Royal Pains. Lastly, the website has a real problem recognizing when ten lines has been entered and a complete, descriptive review has been entered.

If you watch all ten episodes of season one, you come away with a much different perspective, because the last several shows really are much better than the beginning ones. And there were enough balls left in the air at the very end so that might there have been another season, it probably would have been a more interesting one than the first turned out. It's more than likely that stretching it out past a second season would have been a pretty big challenge, but it would have been fun to see what would have happened in season two. The actors all did their jobs fairly well, but getting to the story lines dealing more with their lives (the more interesting parts of the production) just took too long. The powers that be should have started that process sooner, and there would have been a much better chance the show would still be alive.

There are few TV shows that will make you ''rush'' on almost every episode such as it is case with ''RUSH''. Tom Ellis at his finest (besides Lucifer of course) makes you wanna watch several episodes in a row and yet every episode is different and even ''rushier'' than the one before! You just can't get bored watching this show, and even when you're stuck in a sofa with a back pain from lying and watching one episode after another, you just can't stop watching! Brace your self, this show is not for the ''weak-harted''. Though, this show has one big flaw...and it is; they stopped making more episodes! For everyone looking for a rush, i recommend this show. Peace.

This show is amazing and PERFECT! Why end it?!!!!!!! And That cliffhanger NEEDS a second season!!! Wth!!! i saw all episodes during two days, could not stop! ADDICTIVE, fast paced, great medicine actually, great actors and the acting was sublime!!(omg Eve!!!! So angry for her!!!) Been watching Lucifer ofc b/c of Tom Ellis and here he shows all those great qualities That made his Lucifer absolutely amazing (well i didnt like the last season w Eve :/ hoping for a better, equally fun as it was in the beginning -season 5) and saw he did this one, gotta say i missed his accent but boy i missed the fun that this had and didnt in the later episodes of Lucifer... Love love love Rush, it had everything!!! Yes it felt like a car crash at times but Thats what made this show so good. REVIVE IT NOW!!!!

This series has guts and it makes sense in way that few series do. I always think about it and it is a pity it has no follow up! It is a must seen show! Tom Ellis iaa way better actor than lucifer shows.

I really enjoyed watching this series, awesome actors, awesome scriptures, everything is very good, just the strange thing why the serial is unnecessary, not only not known for this season, but for the next season. If this The serial continued to have a very tremendous interval. He wishes to make a ridiculous series like elite to such series.

Thanks for the IMDB for the sake of introduction.

Wasted a few hours of my life on this show, so don't waste yours. Acting is okay, but the premise is an obvious attempt to mix House MD, ER, Royal Pains and maybe even a little Breaking Bad. Perhaps the concept was a decent idea to begin with, but it has not been built out with strong stories and characters so it is not playing out well. Bottom line, there simply aren't enough new ideas mixed into the concept to bring great intrigue and growth to the show. There's little chemistry between the characters and actors, which is sad because there are some very pretty and handsome people in the cast. The story lines thus far are predicable. No, I won't give spoilers, but I haven't seen anything remotely believable nor a character that makes me want to root for them, regardless if they are a good guy or bad guy. The stories are not even exciting or suspenseful. I was very bored, but tried to give the actors my attention because they were trying to make things work. Unfortunately for the actors, I am hoping USA has other programs in creation because this one needs to get quickly shelved.

If you are into subj., this show is for you. If not - you will be annoyed and disappointed, just as I was. Not surprisingly, this coke-head addict blames everyone but himself, and if his father doesnt approve, then lets sleep with his wife, why not? Creepy low-life. At that point I stopped watching altogether.

How does he even still have licence? Made some dirty favors for the rich so police and feds would look the other way? Any civilized country would not only strip his licence, but also accommodate small room, with bars on it. There he could continue blaming everyone else but himself.

This show is horrible. There is no real character development, in fact the only developed feeling toward the lead is disgust. Rush's assistant is sweet but forgettable. In fact that could be said for most of the base characters. Best friend...so poorly developed you don't even feel bad for his situation. Rush's former girlfriend, his father, step mom (has continuum been canceled and Rachel Nichols needed work badly enough to sign on for this mess?)...all utterly forgettable. I watched the first 4 episodes hoping it might turn around but I feel like this show jumped the shark before even coming to air. They cancel White Collar but put this crap on?? Wise up USA

USA Network has taken a significant leap from their "Lite" entertainment formula genre shows this summer with the addition of new series Satisfaction and Rush. Apparently someone in the Fox cable division wants to vacate their seat at the kids' table and join the grown-ups who produce edgier, sexier programming. While neither show is all that fun to watch, something regular USA viewers have come to expect, both feature strong supporting casts surrounding a "fauxmerican"-accented male lead. This works beautifully for A&E's Longmire, with Australian actor Robert Taylor in the title role. Not so well for either of these shows, with Australian Matt Passmore repeating all of the same vocal beats from his The Glades performance and a hint of UK in the utterances of doctor Rush. I am still watching Satisfaction, but I am not hooked. I stopped watching Rush early in episode two when Tom Ellis began singing along to Michael Bolton's "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You" and now I am asking you to stop watching as well. If you do, perhaps USA will green-light a better show to replace this nice-looking, crisply-directed failure.
