Chicago – The wave of new fall shows is coming to an end this week with so many shows having debuted to date that we’ve already had our first cancellation of the season (The CW’s horrible “The Beautiful Life). But NBC has saved one of the best for last in “Trauma,” an expertly produced and acted series that stands as the most promising of the three new medical series this season and arguably the show with the most long-term potential, period.
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0 Character-driven, ensemble dramas like “Trauma” have been the backbone of television for a very long time. From “Hill Street Blues” to “ER,” viewers like to watch people who go above and beyond but also have everyday problems and insecurities like you and me. We need to see ourselves in these superhuman characters. It is their willingness to do what most people won’t that makes them...

Here's some news that should gladden GLAAD's heart (not to mention ours!): I've confirmed exclusively that NBC's new medical drama Trauma is going to include a major gay character as part of its cast.
Set in San Francisco, this is an "intense, action-packed look at one of the most dangerous medical professions in the world: first responder paramedics."
And one of those first responders is going to be an out gay man or woman. So who might the gay be? Well, just like we did with my scoop from last year about Southland, we're going to play "Guess the Gay!" (This time I actually know the answer, but can't divulge.)
So here are the candidates:
Cameron Boone (Derek Luke), a "stoic paramedic"
Tyler Briggs (Kevin Rankin) an "edgy Emt"
Glenn Morris (Taylor Kinney), a "rookie Emt"
Marisa Benez (Aimee Garcia), as a "tough rookie helicopter pilot"
Dr. Joe Saviano...
