Dr. Joel Fleischman graduates from Columbia University medical school and is assigned to work in the tiny Alaskan town of Cicely to pay for his education. The location is remote, the people are weird, and Joel just wants to return to New York. And yet, the people of Cicely -- particularly pilot Maggie O'Connell -- begin to grow on him.

Richard Zoglin TIME Magazine 09/17/2018
Joel's Jewishness is refreshingly up-front, and it's good to see a few Native Americans on TV for a change. But this domesticated Twin Peaks is too precious by half. Go to Full Review Joshua Tyler CinemaBlend 09/18/2018

Northern Exposure even remains fresh after more than a decade of other shows ripping it off. The quirkiness isn't just a gimmick, Northern Exposure is the real deal. Go to Full Review Sergio Non IGN Movies 09/17/2018
At its best, Northern Exposure was quirky and breezy. It made the edges of Alaska seem like an inviting place, as Fleischman's prickly personality highlighted the warmth of everyone else. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

mudhutstudios T @RT24054402 08/02/2024 Sometimes its hard to watch TV programs that are 30 years old. The humor, the dialogue, the clothing, and the situations are so dated that even ground breaking programs don't age well. Honestly, I've been blown away by this original, poignant, and still arguably important series. Once the premise gets established, it marries the absurd and philosophical in a beautiful way. It must have been crazy awesome at the time it aired. See more 09/03/2019 An awesome second season! See more Read all reviews
