From the era when television started taking itself seriously as an art form, Untold Stories of the ER follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Doctors recount the most memorable cases they’ve ever encountered. Unusual, touching, humorous or life-changing – no story is too big or too small when it comes to the ER. Armando Valdes-Kennedy leads a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 15 seasons (2004–2020), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The format has been replicated endlessly since Untold Stories of the ER first aired, which is its own form of tribute.

Best watched with company — the kind of show that generates strong takes from everyone in the room. Fans of Starsky & Hutch will already have a sense of whether this is their kind of television. The production design is sharper than it looks, and the casting decisions are better than the genre usually manages. 15 series in and the format still produces moments you were not expecting. The kind of television that is easy to dismiss until you start watching it and find yourself completely unable to stop.
