Thursday TV Picks: the new ‘Do No Harm’ on NBC

‘Do No Harm’

Your first thought may be, “not another stodgy medical drama!” Not to worry, this new series is a modern take on the “Jekyll & Hyde” story. It stars Steven Pasquale (“Rescue Me,” pictured above with Erika Woods, center, and Alana De La Garza) as a neurosurgeon whose alternate personality emerges every night at 8:25 p.m. Yes, the setup is far-fetched, but Pasquale is so good at playing both characters, you may just want to play along. 10 p.m. Thursday on NBC (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
