Martin Best is a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin's blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they've got. Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he's really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged right smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds and fantasies. What the locals don't know is that Martin's terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Catherine C @RT24845692 2 days ago It’s always so hilarious to me when I read articles about Tv being dead. But when I see a show like this, I hope it becomes a 6 season 20 episodes per season type of show. Much like Abbot Elementary, or many other shows where characters are safe, charming, and the storyline is something everyone can get a kick out of. Is it perfect, no absolutely not, but neither is the Grey’s anatomy, and yet it’s one of the most highly rewatched shows in history. Anyways what I’m saying is give shows like this a chance to just run, people need safe spaces. See more Jodi D @DeVineMrs Oct 21, 2026 This show is so much fun for the entire family. Josh Segarra is absolutely hilarious as the sheriff, he is truly brilliant and funny. Annie Potts is as always a class act. The town has real life charm, warm and welcoming . The salty breeze makes me want a lobster roll. See more Seth S @sethsmovies Oct 18, 2026 So charming. Such a feel good comedy. Likely my favorite show since 30 Rock or Parks & Rec. The type of show I hope gets 10 more seasons. If I win the lottery I’ll fund it myself if Fox ever tries to cancel. See more Sharon S @EtonMess Oct 15, 2026 Best Medicine is a great combination of drama and comedy. I love the first season, and the second is even better. The Doc is still a fish out of water in the season season, but you can see him understanding Port Wenn more and seeing the more value in the town. Don't listen to the Doc Martin fans who are naysayers. Characters are added, so situations are as well. The addition of Greg and George, owners of the Salty Breeze was brilliant. They add some comedy moments to the show as well as some drama. The characters and the town are quirky and there is an element of caring for each other and looking out for each other. However, it makes you wish you could live there. I am a fan of both Doc Martin, the show it is an adaptation of and Best Medicine. I hope this show continues on. It is different than any show that is on TV right now and is just what the doctor ordered. See more James V @ChefJVD Oct 11, 2026 Not even close to Doc Martin. Gave it a chance, done.... See more Terri R @Terri.Reed1970 Oct 3, 2026 This show is just pure enjoyment. The cast delivers so much humor and heart and the scenery is lovely. Hopefully they keep this series alive.
