I still don't know what I saw.
It was like someone spilled a box of jokes, and that's how we got them. Random, utterly disconnected humor. There was humor. Of a sort.
Not a well-put-together venture at all. Scenes too short, no continuity. No flow.

You've got to stick with it. At first, I thought WTF? This totally isn't working. The second episode improves and by the third you hit your stride. To me, the disconnectedness puts you more in Caroline Todd's place as a new comer to this crazy ass hospital where nothing makes sense. You can imagine her disequilibrium, and you experience it via the editing of the video.
In a behind the scenes bit I saw they explained the sped up camera. They taped in a working hospital and if a non performer walked through the set, they'd crank up the speed and the person would effectively disappear.
There were a lot of clever production elements, and the character development was very thorough.
