I haven’t review Royal Pains in a long time, but I’ve continued to watch. It’s a pleasant show, without too much of anything. Everything, from the acting to the plot, is perfectly fine, but that’s all it is–fine. There aren’t any highs or lows, something that really jumps out. Instead, the show hums along at a steady pace and it’s all good. In my opinion, it’s not a show that’s conducive to weekly reviews.
“Listen to the Music” is an episode that could have been a major gamechanger, with all the characters headed their separate ways, but the final twist, Divya and Raj with the bubonic plague, gives the writers plenty of room to return to the status quo. And that’s absolutely fine–Royal Pains doesn’t need a change in format.
Score: 8.3/10
