Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.

I love everything about this series, a 16 year old genius doctor, a very chill surfer dad and a busy-body mom trying to balance being a mom and running a hospital. It's awesome to see how Lahela learns that being a doctor doesn't translate to other skills, how Claire learns to try to go with the flow, how Benny helps everyone find the beauty in life. I hope to see more development between Kai and B. P., I'd also love to see what happens when Walter goes on tour and how Lahela handles that feeling along with (hopefully) being promoted to Chief of Residence.

I don't know why there is so much hate. It's only aired 1 episode and it wasn't bad. I do believe the episodes should be longer though.

This show caught me with episode 1. In the 10 episodes, I was taken on a journey with Dr. Lahela "Doogie" Kamealoha through her life as a prodigy. The journey included the ups and downs of her life and why she goes by Doogie (which was a very touching episode). Other reviews stating about how some actors should fix something cosmetic need to grow up, not everything about everyone is perfect! I love this show and am one hoping and waiting for more seasons!!!

I had forgotten that this was being made, so when I saw this on Disney+, it surprised me. So I'm watching this now and I am actually really impressed. Making Doogie a girl was a great idea. And the meta connection of saying that this child prodigy was nicknamed because of the Doogie Howser TV show from the 90s was a terrific touch. Of course it means we don't get to see a 40 something Howser in a character cameo, but we might get to see Neil Patrick Harris in an actor cameo. The series has plenty of potential!

It usually takes an episode or 2 for characters to find their niche. I like the way the actors are melding now. It is happy and cute. Nice distraction.
