"Red Band Society" premiered on Fox on September 17 and garnered mix reviews from critics.

The American version of a Spanish drama, "Red Band Society" shows the story of a group of sick teenagers who take an almost permanent residence and studies in the hospital due to their severe conditions.

The show was written by Margaret Nagel and produced by Amblin Entertainment, while the task of directing it was given to Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.

It is starred by Octavia Spencer, Dave Annable, Charlie Rowe, Nolan Sotillo, Zoe Levin, Ciara Bravo, Griffin Gluck, Brian Bradley and Rebecca Rittenhouse.

The show's premiere episode, which gave a feel of what the series would be like, was given mix reviews by different outfits.

According to People magazine, the show "could turn out to be one of the best new shows of the fall" and is "constantly catching you unexpectedly."

"The kids are underdogs both by the fact of being sick and simply by being kids, and they know it," the piece continued. "As long as they breathe in and out, they can't help expressing that."

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Times' Robert Lloyd dubbed the show a hybrid of "Breakfast Club" and "House."

"It is in many ways a medical version of 'The Breakfast Club,' a comparison the producers themselves have made but which will be obvious to anyone who has ever seen 'The Breakfast Club,'" Lloyd said.

"As an American entertainment ... it not surprisingly shies away from the mundane indignities of hospital life and the less-picturesque symptoms of disease," he added.

"And to glamorize sanitize and romanticize illness is, after all, an old Hollywood tradition; and this is a show with a target audience for whom even death, in soft enough focus, can constitute a sort of wish fulfillment," he suggested.

Vulture's Margaret Lyons chimed in on Lloyd's sentiment about the downplaying of disease, saying: "I'm not lobbying for a show about suffering, necessarily. But 'Red Band' makes hospital stays seem like a spread in an Urban Outfitters catalogue."

"Every exchange, every alleged feeling, every moment designed to be reproduced in GIF form on Tumblr - I didn't buy any of it," Lyons added.
