Weird Sexual undertones or season 11/12
I have re-watched ER so many times and never picked up on this. But i’m re-watching again now and season 12 is actually making me uncomfortable. So many moments where people who are health care professionals make sexual comments that are so unnecessary and unprofessional.
Examples
Katy (med student) meets Neela and immediately makes a comment about oral sex “he refuses to dine at the Y” and that ray is hot. Katy introduces Neela to that creepy doctor who lingers shaking her hand and then goes to mastrubate Abby is boarderline sexually harassed by the male pilot and flight nurse when she takes the air transport ride Abby dresses as an elf for xmas and male staff at the desk keep talking about her being sexy Neela wearing a super revealing dress to work and Dr Clemente cat calling her in Spanish and calling her sexy, to which she says “Thank you…I think”
I’m sure i’m missing other examples
So weird. The show always had relationships between staff, and was never unrealistic like greys anatomy, but these seasons were so weird!!!
