EYE WEEKLY Review:
Code Blue’s plot line, involving pre-med students, resembles an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. But it also possesses a level of sophistication at which TV can only scrape. The production is flawlessly delivered on every level, from the quirky script to the elegant lighting scheme. Even the dancing-cadaver choreography is brilliant. The entire cast bursts with fresh talent to rival that of Katherine Heigl or George Clooney; the actors playing Adam and Sheila jump out as Toronto’s next best.

Odie Dunn, a brilliant, charismatic young man in his first year of
medical school is well on his way to becoming a noble, successful, and
wealthy doctor. Trouble is, he’s probably losing his mind. Set amidst
dancing cadavers and apocalyptic cicadas, Code Blue is a surreal comedy
about faith, hope, and love, and what happens when you lose all three.
