The TVI Take
Emmy winner for Outstanding Drama (1992). A New York doctor sent to practice in a quirky Alaskan town.
Moderate cognitive demands from the philosophical musings and literary references. Some educational value from the Native Alaskan cultural elements. A uniquely gentle, literate show that treated eccentricity as wisdom.
