The new NBC series is focused on the hospital staff of a hospital in Oregon, showcasing the trials and tribulations they face with a keen sense of comedy. Framed as a mockumentary, the show’s ensemble cast is led by Alex. Played gamely by Tolman, Alex is the Supervising Nurse in the titular hospital’s emergency room. A well-intentioned caregiver who can’t quite find the balance between caring for others and herself, Alex’s struggles in the hospital are the source of a lot of the show’s comedic and heartwarming moments.
