It is. It gets a little soapy at times, and the Medical Emergency of the Week is frequently a bit silly, but the show has managed to deal sensitively and maturely with a variety of difficult issues, ranging from abortion to clinical depression. The characters are well-drawn and -acted, and each has a good mix of virtues and flaws. Also? They show signs of learning from their mistakes. (Not completely, of course, and they relapse distressingly often, but don't we all?)
