Medical dramas are a constant in our television world. But one thing that seems fascinating aboutThe Human Conditionsis the magical realism the show is going to have. A style of storytelling that has become widely popular in shows likeStranger Things, The Leftovers, Westworld, and beyond. Adding that into the world of a medical drama is new and exciting as, for the most part, our medical dramas are typically based completely in reality.
