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.

It's a balm for social isolation, with its gentle interrogation of the ways in which myth, folklore and fantasy inform our internal lives -- and what happens when we eventually take those parts of ourselves out into public again. Go to Full Review Elena Lazic Little White Lies 01/15/2019
Northern Exposure engages its audience like a good friend would, addressing viewers as equals, directly and with real compassion. Go to Full Review Lee Margulies Los Angeles Times 09/17/2018
Northern Exposure was in fact quite life-affirming in its celebration of community, friendship and nature and its respect for diversity and life's imponderables. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 02/03/2024
Rob Morrow left the show after five seasons... and Paul Provenza and Teri Polo join the cast in the sixth and final season. The chemistry, alas, leaves with Morrow, but the supporting cast is still spot on. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Will P @WillPhantom Mar 24 Northern Exposure was an excellent series, a bit quirky but well written. Season 6 was terrible. As for the characters, Chris was inconsistent and there was no way Maggie would want to end up with this nut case. Same thing for Maurice ending up with this bossy nightmare cop. Season 6 should have ended with Joel leaving, no new doctor, but the final ending scene showing the town continuing on. See more Suzanne B @RT72741814 10/30/2024 Season 6 was kinda nasty. Real anger. I don’t know if it was the scripts or the directing, but many times the characters were so angry and mean to each other. The charm and sweet quirkiness of other seasons was long gone See more 09/03/2019 Good but no season 1, 2 or 3. See more Read all reviews
