Movie Reviews of ER: The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: Another Amazing Season Of Brilliant Brilliance!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. "ER" just rolled along from season to season with amazing storylines and superbly compelling drama, didn't it? Season Three is no exception. It lives up to the standard set by the first two seasons splendidly, and it without a doubt worth picking up on DVD (not until after buying seasons one and two, of course). Each character also gets plenty of memorable storylines, including:
Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards): What an interesting season for Mark this is! Although a glorious character, Mark makes some very controversial decisions in this season, including invading the privacy of Boulet by sneaking into her private files. Also, Mark suffers a brutal beating in the hospital men's room and ends up pretty screwed up by the incident, eventually buying a gun in an act of insane paranoia.
Doug Ross (George Clooney): Ross gets stuff to do in this season, but not quite as much as in the previous two. Clooney was quite busy filming the disastrous "Batman and Robin" during season three to get a whole lot of really good storylines, but he does get some, including an excellent continuing storyline with Kristen Dunst as a problematic teenage girl.
Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield): Yes, this is the season that the beloved Dr. Lewis tragically leaves the show, but the good news is that she gets plenty of good episodes before doing that. Her and Mark come very close to being lovers when she unexpectantly invites him on a Hawaiian trip with her. Mark ends up falling deeply in love with her, but when she announces her plans to move to Phoenix and be with her sister Chloe, he's torn between telling her his love and letting her enjoy her new life. Sherry Stringfield will be back in 2001, but as I said in my reviews of seasons one and two, she just never was the same when she came back, so this is the last season where we can really embrace her wonderul, beautiful character.
John Carter (Noah Wyle): Carter goes through a significant romantic relationship with Abby Keaton, played by an excellent Glenne Headly, but the relationship comes to an end when she moves away. Carter also embraces a new career as a hospital resident, when he realizes that surgery just isn't for him. An exciting year for Carter, definately!
Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies): Wow, what a year for Carol! Carol accidentally kills a patient by giving him the wrong blood, and when she chooses to fess up to her mistake, the hospital suffers a humiliation in a local paper and she is fired. Fortunately, she gets her job back after an exciting day in a convenience store in "The Long Way Around," perhaps the season's most exciting episodes and one of the best episodes of the show. This unique episode spends 3/4 of its time outside of the hospital, and has an excellent performance from guest star Ewan McGregor and of course Julianna Margulies.
Jeannie Boulet (Gloria Reuben): Boulet gets another excellent year, even better than her previous season. She is diagnosed with AIDS in the season premiere and spends the whole season dealing with problems with hospital policy related to her condition, and eventually gets in some major trouble when Mark finds out she has HIV. Eventually she admits it to the whole hospital, and also deals with problems with ex-husband Al. You got to love Boulet, and Gloria Reuben's gentle acting makes her such a loveable character.
Kerry Weaver (Laura Innes): Weaver was a very significant guest star in season two, and gets to join the rest of the cast in the main credits this season. This is a good year for her character, especially for those who pigeonhole her as the bitch of the hospital. She shows real sympathy with Boulet's HIV problem. She also helps encourage Carter to pursue the career he wants near the end of the season.
Peter Benton (Eriq La Salle): Benton gets an excellent year here, when his girlfriend (barely a girlfriend, really) gets pregnant with his child. The baby is born prematurely near the end of the season and Benton deals with other hardships throughout the year, especially when he learns he may be responsible for the suicide (?) of a resident near the middle of the season. Great acting from Eriq La Salle!
So, there you have it. Season three is full of memorable acting and great scenarios for all characters involved. "ER" was the tip top in the ratings at this time, and it's no wonder why.
The DVD set follows the style of the previous two, mostly. The packaging changes very much. The group shot of the ER staff is changed to little square panels with a large photograph at the bottom, and the four double sides disks are now changed to six single sided disks. The content inside is excellent, as usual, with incredible transfers (looks just like a movie) in anamorphic 16:9 widescreen. Excellent quality that enhances the amazingly cinematic feel of "ER."
What are you waiting for? The only reason to put off buying this season is if you haven't bought the first two, and if you've bought those and love them as much as I do, you can NOT turn down the incredible season three! Highly recommended! Order it now!
