There's a link to another article talking about how the character basically getting a face/heel turn from many fans in the 2nd season because he is now shown as flawed and impulsive in some situations. I have a feeling some of this is related to the actor/producer's liberal zionist personal views, but there is no mention of that at all in these articles.

I know there are mentions of the "Israeli bandage" in the first season during the mass casualty event episodes. I've also seen it mentioned that the producers/creators have used Israeli hospitals for research/consultation on the show. There's also been some recent rumors about Noah not having good relations with WoC actors on set.

Noah Wyle has faced accusations of pro-Zionism leanings in recent years in the wake of the escalating Israel-Gaza conflict, especially after he was named among the celebrities who signed the Pro-Israel Under Attack letter in 2023.

My partner is kind of obsessed with the show, so I've watched both seasons with them. It's well-made prestige TV for sure.
