The show, directed by Ruthie Shatz and Adi Barash, follows four physicians — two neurosurgeons, an emergency doctor and an obstetrician — through months of work. Both the latter two, ER doc Mirtha Macri and OB-GYN Amanda Little-Richardson, are pregnant, which provides a natural subplot for both. Little-Richardson, for instance, is a notably good patient, acknowledging and then moving past challenging news throughout her pregnancy and a partner who is perhaps less than optimally supportive.
“Lenox Hill” is about the Trump presidency in that it’s capaciously about all the stuff of life, including work, family and love too; politics sneaks in through the margins, from Little-Richardson, who is black, musing about America’s long history of family separation to a colleague before heading back to work, to the ongoing story of a Tennessee couple visiting New York so a young woman can have a tumor removed from her neck and skull.
In moments like these, “Lenox Hill” achieves a kind of greatness. With an openhearted curiosity about its subjects and a patient, clear eye, the series comes to no conclusions about the way we administer medical care now, but leaves its viewer with ample information to draw his or her own.
