Best Medicine

CriticsCritics: 67
AudienceAudience: 6.5

A brilliant surgeon leaves a prestigious Boston career to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village tied to his childhood. His blunt, abrasive bedside manner quickly alienates the quirky locals, who must nonetheless rely on him as the town’s only doctor.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like warm, quirky small-town dramedies such as The Moodys or Alaska Daily; Not for you if you dislike slapstick humor, abrasive leads, or familiar remake-style premises.
