Fans of medical drama Grey's Anatomy are being urged to watch a Netflix series that scratches the same itch.
Grey's Anatomy is currently in its 21st season, proving just how much fans truly love the high-stakes show.
It has helped launch the careers of Sandra Oh, Jesse Williams and Katherine Heigl, to name just a few.
But for those who, despite the many seasons, are aching for another medical drama to enter their lives, fans swear they've found just the show.

Starring Matt Czuchry as Dr. Conrad Hawkins and set within the fictional Chastain Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, the six-season show originally premiered on Fox before getting scooped up by Netflix.
The Resident also stars Emily VanCamp and Manish Dayal.
Netflix explains that the first series 'documents the lives of the medical staff at Chastain Park Memorial Hospital as they deal with on-the-job crises, work-life balance, and romantic woes'.
They add: "The Resident Season 1 follows justice-driven senior resident Conrad; Conrad’s trainee, the newly minted doctor, Devon, who’s quickly thrown to the wolves when the ER becomes short-staffed; and veteran surgeon Dr. Bell, who’s keeping his own medical diagnosis a secret, despite its devastating effects on some of his patients."
The streaming platform also teased: "Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) is a fist-bumping, cocky, and beloved senior resident at Chastain Memorial. He know the ropes, he knows the rules and how to break them… he knows just about everything. And to Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal), one of the hospital’s baby-faced and optimistic new residents, it’s terrifying. While other residents seem to be rolling with the punches, Devon feels like he’s been put in the ring for a fight he can’t win. Then there’s Dr. Randolph Bell (Bruce Greenwood), a community hero — and Devon’s idol — who seemingly can do no wrong. But that might be because there’s a bit of a medical malpractice cover-up going on…"
Suffice to say, fans can't get enough of the tense drama.
One person wrote on X: "I can’t stop watching the resident on Netflix show rl got my full attention."
Another said: "The Resident on Netflix it’s like Grey's Anatomy but to me it’s better," to which another person replied: "A hundred times better!"
A third person added: "#TheResident is a gut wrenching show and I’m hooked because it really highlights the politics within the medical field."
A fourth admitted: "The Resident is on Netflix. I don’t want to leave the house until I’m finished watching it."
