Rather, the league and the Browns and Watson came to an agreement to let Watson fake an injury, collect his checks, and the Browns are able to recoup some cap room through an insurance policy.
I feel like this requires a level of planning and intellect which is essentially never observed in the league.

With the exception of Scrubs it's probably the best medical TV show period (in terms of vibe capturing and medical accuracy).
And yes it captures the reality. So much fighting about if kidney labs are racist.

Absolutely true to life though! Some mostly not burnt out and energetic trainee yelling at a more junior trainee who is just trying to not die and then herself getting yelled at by a much more burnt out supervisor. This is life!
The resolution of the arc you are thinking about is done very well, don't worry.
And yes practical experience of medicine can be very black pilling - homeless, drug users, illegal immigrants...but then also fat people, people who refuse to take their meds or listen to other advice...it gets murky very quickly.

Arcane is very clearly about class struggle and has a lot of woke casting and other type things, but it is also simply good, and is able to do the class struggle through enough of a historical lens that it doesn't run into modern woke issues.
The Pitt recently finished its first season and is an excellent medical drama. Some of the doctors get mega preachy and at times their is some serious "very special episode" energy but it's overall very good and anyone who has worked in those settings know that's how a lot of people talk.
Agree with this.
I know some people who point to the OJ chase or trial as one of their first concrete memories.
Nothing since comes anywhere close, not even any of the BLM adjacent trials.
