->''"Everyone thinks that when you go to a hospital, life stops. But it's just the opposite -- life starts."''\\
--'''Charlie'''
'''''Red Band Society''''' is an American comedy-drama television series on Fox developed by Margaret Nagle. The series premiered on September 17, 2014.
Based upon the Catalan drama series ''Polseres vermelles'', the series is a dark dramedy focused on a group of teenagers living together as patients in a hospital's pediatric ward.
----
!!''Red Band Society'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AmicableExes: Emma and Leo, once you get past all the snark.
* AnArmAndALeg: Jordi's cancer necessitates a leg amputation. Turns out Leo's already been through it.
* AndIMustScream: Charlie is a relatively lighthearted example. When Kara comes up with the incredibly insensitive idea of blowing cigarette smoke right on his face, his only reaction is to narrate, "You gotta wonder what I did to deserve this." He does get some revenge later, farting loudly while Kara's nearby.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Leo knows Kara's hiding a lot behind all her meanness.
--> '''Leo:''' Can you ever just give it a rest?\\
'''Kara:''' If I could, don't you think I would?
* BavarianFireDrill: Jordi gets himself assigned to Dr. [=McAndrew=] simply by walking into the hospital and claiming to already be a patient of his, knowing that he can't be turned away at the ER.
* BlackComedy: Given that some of the main cast is explicitly stated to be dying, this shouldn't come as a surprise.
* BreakTheHaughty: Kara has an enlarged heart, which would eventually require her to get a heart transplant. Unfortunately, her unsavory habits put her at the bottom of the transplant list.
--> '''Charlie:''' How do you tell the girl who needs a heart that she never really had one to begin with?
* DeadpanSnarker: Most of the cast, but the most prominent example among them has to be Emma.
* DoggedNiceGirl: The pep squad girl, who seemed to be the only one concerned about Kara when she passed out, but probably just saw an excuse to perform mouth-to-mouth.
* EruditeStoner: Ruben Garcia.
* FiveManBand: The eponymous Red Band Society.
** TheLeader: Leo
** TheLancer[=/=]TheBigGuy: Dash
** TheSmartGuy: Emma
** TheChick: Kara
** NaiveNewcomer: Jordi
** SixthRanger: Charlie
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Kara, probably the most obnoxious among the cast, is also the only smoker.
* HiddenDepths: Why Kara's red band is from Leo's skin graft operation.
--> '''Leo:''' Cause I believe, like skin, there are layers to you that have yet to be revealed.
* HospitalHottie: Brittany.
* {{Jerkass}}: Kara, and how.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Nurse Jackson. Prides herself on acting like a self-professed "Scary Bitch" around her hospital colleagues (her coffee cups are labeled as such!), but is genuinely concerned for her patients' well-being.
* LikeIsLikeAComma: Nurse Jackson calls Brittany out on this.
* MsFanservice: Kara.
* MustNotDieAVirgin: Dash tries to invoke this on Brittany.
* {{Narrator}}: Charlie, a nine-year-old patient in a coma, who is somehow still aware of ''everything'' going on within the hospital. Even more strangely, when Kara and Leo were unconscious, they managed to have conversations with him!
--> '''Charlie:''' [[LampshadeHanging Yeah, this is me, talking to]] ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall you]]'', from a coma. Deal with it.
* NiceGirl: Brittany, the new nurse.
* OracularUrchin: Charlie seems to be one. See {{Narrator}} above.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: After Nurse Jackson gets used to Kara's incessant use of the call button (and her attempt to use Charlie's as her own), she realizes something's wrong when Kara signals only once before falling into unconsciousness, knowing that she usually tended to mash the button repeatedly. The next time Kara sends out a message, she resorts to using masking tape on her window.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Emma used to be the only girl in Leo's circle of friends, until Kara came along. Charlie lampshades this.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Emma provokes this out of everyone she talks to. The rest of the cast do give as good as they get from her.
* SorryThatImDying: During a discussion on Shakespeare's ''Theatre/HenryV'', Leo implies that this may be why he decided not to get serious with Emma, or make friends with anyone else.
--> '''Teacher:''' Henry's a total pleasure seeker, right? But he has no close friends. Why?\\
'''Leo:''' He's going to war, and getting too close to anyone's a bad idea.\\
'''Teacher:''' Explain.\\
'''Leo:''' Cause then, it won't be hard to say goodbye.
* TotallyRadical: This series provides UsefulNotes/TheNewTens equivalents -- "awesomesauce", "YOLO", "cray-cray", etc.
* TrueCompanions: Leo invokes this as he gives out his red bands by reciting the "Saint Crispin's Day" speech from ''Theatre/HenryV''.
* YouAreNotAlone: Jordi becomes a patient in the hospital due to his cancerous leg requiring an amputation. During the "goodbye party" for his leg, Leo gives him the red band from his own amputation surgery, invoking this trope as he hands the red band over.
