The series debuted in the US in September but was cancelled after 10 episodes.

  1. So Nine can put on a show in Primetime that only lasted 10 episodes last year, but won’t put on Series 5 of Chicago Med!
    Chicago Med is a huge hit around the world but nine continues to treat fans appallingly! No wonder Nine’s ratings after 8.30 are dropping dramatically

  2. Surprising that it’s getting a primetime showing when it’s a 10 ep failed series, but I suppose it shows how bare the cupboard is these days…like Smits greatly on ‘NYPD Blue’ a while back now.

    1. And he was memorably excellent in both his late series role in Sons of Anarchy and his season three stint on Dexter. Both pivotal key roles in their respective shows. For me he functions better as a guest star.
