Denis Medicalseason 1 finale.
And did anyone else catch that look Serena gives Matt in the episode’s final seconds?
Is it possible she’s starting to see him from a different perspective?
Only time will tell where the workplace romance is headed.
After screening the finale, I chatted with Mekki Leeper and Kahyun Kim aboutSt.

ScreenRant: What were your reactions to that finale reveal?
I didn’t expect it to happen so early on in the series.
Mekki Leeper: The first we see it is just the table read.
In an underfunded and understaffed Oregon hospital, a dedicated team of doctors and nurses struggles to maintain their sanity while delivering care to their patients. Set in a mockumentary style, this workplace comedy brings humor and heart to the high-stakes environment of healthcare, with a standout cast led by Wendi McLendon-Covey and David Alan Grier.
it’s always the table read.
We could kind of feel it in the room a little bit.
It’s still a big question mark.
So I think that people will be left in this place of like, “Ooh, season 2.
What’s it going to look like for these guys?”
Kahyun Kim: Yeah.
I honestly have no idea how she feels about it or what’s going to happen.
It’s kind of crazy playing the character and knowing I have no idea.
But I guess that’s for season 2 to sort that feeling out.
Do you think that Serena really didn’t know about Matt’s crush?
Was there a part of her that suspected?
Kahyun Kim: She had no idea.
Lemme tell you, I know that much.
She is out of his league.
[Laughs] She is a hot thing doing her hot stuff.
I don’t think she actually really thought about it.
Mekki Leeper: I don’t think so either.
He is a good person, and he’s cute."
So I think she discovers that and then hears how he has a crush on her.
So I think there could be a little shift of perspective.
[Laughs]
Mekki Leeper: Upsetting ass.
I’ve been told many times.
That was probably the hardest acting I did all season.
I had a hammer, I think.
Kahyun Kim: And that was your sexy way of putting it up?
This is also when Matt decides that Serena doesn’t like him.
“I’m not her dream girl,” I believe, is the quote.
Kahyun Kim: That quote is so funny.
He’s just so funny.
I know what’s happening, and every time I watch it, it still makes me laugh.
It’s so interesting because there were many signs throughout this season that she wasn’t into him.
Why did Matt choose now to come to this conclusion?
Mekki Leeper: I think it was just enough time.
I think that Matt’s been going through just learning so much new information.
You know what I mean?
I think he’s very much getting acclimated.
He’s just now like, “You know what?
I’ve looked at a lot of the data and I think that maybe it’s not happening.”
And who knows what he’ll learn in season 2?
Mekki Leeper: I think that these are the kind of couples that do work.
Kahyun Kim: Probably nothing.
I think it weirdly works.
They’re really cute together.
