Paramedic Drama Begins at Poker Table
The new paramedic drama "Saved" (10 p.m., TNT) begins at a poker table. What better place to demonstrate the complications of its main character, Wyatt Cole (Tom Everett Scott)?
When not getting into fistfights with fellow card players, Cole is fighting with the snooty doctors who look down on him, his partner, Sack (Omari Hardwick), and other mere ambulance jockeys. Cole has authority issues. His father is a famous surgeon.
Cole was two years into medical school when he chucked it all. Did he do it to tick off the old man?
Or because his fellow medical-student girlfriend Alice (Elizabeth Reaser) dumped him? He has commitment issues, too. Not to mention debt issues. Gambling issues. Loan-shark issues. But he makes the most of a busy day.
Over the course of the 42-minute pilot, he moons over his ex-girlfriend, fights with Dad, has a run in with mob enforcers, attends his partner's son's pathetic birthday party and still has time to attend to a half-dozen medical traumas, a three-alarm blaze and fill out an application for his return to medical school. Just in case things get boring, he does most of his driving, fretting and lifesaving to a classic-rock sound track that includes Nirvana, Hendrix and disco hits of the 1970s.
