Doctors may have the power to save lives, but they can also use that power to cover up their mistakes. Medicine isn’t practiced by saints — it’s a business, after all, and that reality can have some dramatic repercussions. See its effects on new doctors in “The Resident,” which premieres Sunday, Jan. 21, on Fox.
The network’s newest drama ex amines the good, the bad and the ugly behind the blue curtain of modern-day medicine. Doctors — especially new doctors — struggle with the realization that they can’t fix an institution that’s more fo cused on money than on saving people’s lives.
Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) is more frustrated than anybody by this fact, as he tells Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal) on the latter’s first day of his residency. Pravesh is the first-year resident that Hawkins socializes to the hos pital. Young and ambitious, he wants to be an outstanding doctor — one of the only things the two can find common ground on — but Pravesh realizes that his indoctrina tion will be nothing as he expected. In the first 10 minutes, Hawkins in forms him that everything he’s learned about medicine is wrong, and to take off his tie because he’s “not at Harvard anymore.” When Pravesh asks for a new supervisor (he maintains that Dr. Hawkins is a

psychopath), a nurse tells him to watch and learn.
Considering the success of both “Scrubs” and “House,” the medical field basis for the series seems to be a good sign for its longevity. Plus, Czuchry has his acting chops. He made his big debut in the bigscreen horror-comedy “Eight Legged Freaks” (2002), but he’s probably best known for his role as
dents to “try and not kill anyone” while he’s on another floor.
Dayal is best known for his starring role in “The Hundred-Foot Journey” (2014) and “Viceroy’s House” (2017), but fans may also recognize him from his role as Vijay Nadeer in “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Melina Kanakaredes plays Dr. Lane Hunter, an oncologist who tells Dr. Hawkins that they can’t
peared opposite movie legend Robert De Niro in “15 Minutes” (2001).
Emily VanCamp (“Revenge”) plays Nicolette, the nurse who tells Dr. Pravesh to listen and learn from Dr. Hawkins. She’s also Dr. Hawkins’ on-again, off-again romance. The rate of medical error was shocking for the actress, who studied statistics intently for her character. It’s the third-leading cause of death, she told Access Hollywood in an interview.
Hawkins uses unorthodox methods, such as throwing ice on a patient to revive her, but he never forgets the risks of the job. Unlike Dr. Soloman Bell (Bruce Greenwood, “Mad Men”), Hawkins knows the repercussions of a bad decision. Dr. Bell is a celebrity doctor with a lot to lose: he bills over $20 million per year, and he’s also the chief of surgery. So, after he hits an artery during a relatively safe procedure and kills a patient, no one questions him when he covers it up with a pre-existing condition — no one except Hawkins, of course, who tells the chief of medicine to consider changing his methods before killing additional patients.
Hawkins may be young, but he’s not out of line — he’s experienced the fallout of his mistakes. He carries around a picture of a little girl who died due to an error on his part, and the reminder helps him stay humble and diligent.
Most doctors only want to help their patients — but what they don’t teach, Hawkins explains, is that there are so many ways to harm. The doctors of “The Resident” will break all the rules that they followed in school. But if it were easy, as Hawkins says, everyone would be a doctor. After all, saving people’s lives is the best job in the world.
“The Resident” will replace Fox’s “Rosewood,” the network’s recently canceled medical drama. Other than “The X-Files” revival and Seth MacFarlane’s live-action dramedy “The Orville,” it’s the only drama picked up this season.
There are many medical shows, but “The Resident” will get to the root of what it feels like to be in the trenches of the medical profession today. Don’t miss the series premiere airing Sunday, Jan. 21, on Fox.

You know, it occurs to me that there are three different categories of cake.
There’s the sort that’s easy to whip up at home and that doesn’t get too elaborate with the decorations or with teetering tiers: they have just a simple icing, maybe a nice ganache or even some sprinkles. Then there’s the more elaborate creations, the sort usually pulled out of the oven for birthdays, anniversaries or other special events, with colorful themes and well wishes written
shows like “Cake Boss” love to show off, and the surge in popularity for these stunning creations has led to a bunch of TV shows being made about them. “Cake Hunters” on Cooking Channel is just one of them, albeit one with its own special style.
The latest season premiered last week and currently airs Friday evenings on the culinary network, and in this week’s Jan. 26 episode, a mother and daughter can’t agree on a cake style for Kendelle’s upcoming Sweet 16 party. She wants a cake that celebrates her maturity, with a theme that embraces her love of music,
Kendelle thinks would be better suited for a toddler.
In each week’s episode, two conflicting cake visions are tackled by three professional bakers. This week they’re challenged to design a cake that will please both mother and daughter, and once the family chooses which design they want to go with, the bakers face their next daunting challenge: baking, build-
ing and decorating the edible art creation on a tight schedule, and then getting it delivered to the party venue in one piece.
Combining two conflicting visions into one cake isn’t easy, but it’s the sort of thing that the pros do on the job every day. “Cake Hunters” takes audiences inside that flour-filled world Friday evenings on Cooking Channel.

Jigsaw
The Jigsaw killer returns to his bloody ways in this resurrection of the “Saw” franchise. When detectives Halloran (Rennie) and Hunt (Bennett) begin an investigation into a series of murders, they become suspicious of a former doctor they suspect may be staging copycat killings in the vein of the legendary Jigsaw serial killer. As they get drawn deeper into the killer’s twisted views of right and wrong, their very lives are put at stake as they draw closer to exposing the deadly criminal.
Geostorm
After a series of brutal and deadly natural disasters kill untold numbers of people and wreak horrific devastation around the globe, a number of weather-controlling satellites are built by the world’s major powers. When one of them seems to suffer a glitch and freezes an entire town, the system’s chief architect, Jake (Butler), is sent to the orbiting space station that controls the satellites to figure out the source of the problem and prevent it from happening again. What he finds, though, is a conspiracy to weaponize the satellites to create a
