I liked Hugh, his coworkers and his mother Meryl right from the start. I eventually warmed up to the rest of the cast with the exception of Ajax. Ajax is completely unlikable, by the third season I was fast-forwarding any scene with that annoying man/child in it and nearly gave up on the show altogether because of him.

I have found this new TV series very entertaining. It is so nice to have a real TV drama to watch instead of all the hopeless reality TV nonsense. Over the years I have always tried to watch any new Australian TV series in preference to American shows. Some have missed the mark completely. The cast of Doctor Doctor are very convincing in their rolls and I am looking forward to next weeks episode. It has been awhile since a series has got me looking forward to next week, so well done to the script writers, directors and actors on a job well done. The fact that the show is set in a small country town gives it some extra charm. Lets hope that the story continues to entertain.

huge fan of the show. Found it recently through Amazon/Acorn. I am sick to death of cops, zombies, blood and guts, lawyers, swat teams. Disaster after disaster. And we wonder why people go back to their workplaces or nightclubs to blow people away. This show is smart, funny, charming - and it keeps getting better. It's at the top of my Top 10 list of all time TV shows. Performances are outstanding, as is the writing. Hope they do a Season 2 and that it goes on for a while. At the very least, I'd like to see the plot lines that were left hanging tied up. Well done all.

I see that this show is called something different in Europe than it is here in the USA but I don't know why. It's a fantastic alternative to those tired of reality tv and zombie shows. This little gem is wonderful and full of heart, romance, excitement and dramedy too. The cast is top-notch and the only weak character in my opinion is Ajax but he gets better. I found him incredibly tedious and obnoxious series one but he greatly stepped up his game series two. I would recommend this show to anyone who has a heart or who has ever breathed in air.

Here in the UK we are groaning under the weight of political correctness, so this Aussie comedy drama was a breath of fresh air. The humour is wonderful, and the acting is sublime by all the characters. Its a brilliant concept for a show, and who wouldn't want to be treated by Roger Courcy ?

It was great that we saw two series back to back, and now we eagerly await the 3rd series, and understand that a fourth may be commissioned.

(Replying to VoyagerMN1986 .... he/she might be taken more seriously if they could spell ! and if I like something I write in praise, and conversely if I consider something to be less than good, then my star rating will reflect that )

Well acted by cast. All over excellent production . Interesting story line. In the top best Australian TV Series of my time.

The show started strong with the expected tensions between Hugh and Penny but into season 3 I am giving up. As with other reviewers Ajax's childish and dangerous behavior is totally annoying. The writers somehow think a character who is blind to the situation his adapted father left him in and constantly shooting something up is a relatable person. From reading the episode descriptions it just keeps going down hill from here which is a pity as the scenery and even some of the hospital action are a real treat.

I'm in two minds about this 10 stars all the way for the hospital drama and penny relationship but his sad loser family are the most annoying characters I've ever seen on tv I'm another one who fast forwards ajax indeed if it wasn't for the magic of fast forward it don't think I would watch the show at all,the only surprise is Hugh who's supposed to be the obnoxious one is actually the nicest most rounded member of his family

I had the luxury of watching all 5 seasons in a period of a month or two (thanks to Acorn) and although I really enjoyed the series at the start, I was disappointed to see it deteriorate over time.

The last two seasons were particularly sad - sad to see such intelligent and ethical characters like Penny go over to the dark side. Of course one character that didn't change was Hugh, but that was fine since he started out as a self-centered, albeit charming, jerk (with some redeeming qualities.) Charlie also devolved into a shrew when they brought the actress back after her pregnancy hiatus (how ironic was that?) Hailey and Ajax never did go downhill since they started out there in the first place (at least the Christian Hailey didn't lecture about God as often as I feared. But really -- low morals for a supposedly devout Christian). And I was hoping Meryl would get her comeuppance - what a terrible person she was portrayed as. The final episode sort of regained the feeling of the early seasons, but perhaps they kept the series going a little longer than was necessary, although it looks like it was a windfall for cast and crew.

My thoughts about some of the cast and their characters (Cast likeability 1-5); (Character arc over time in show: 1-5) 5 is best rating.

Rodger Corser (5) Hugh Knight (5 - 4) Nicole da Silva (5) Charlie (5 - 3) Ryan Johnson (5) Matt Knight (5 - 4) Tina Bursill (4) Meryl Knight (3 - 1) Hayley McElhinney (5) Penny (5 - 3) Chloe Bayliss (3) Hayley (3 - 2) Matt Castley (2) Ajax (2 - 1) Belinda Bromilow (5) Betty (5 - 4) Charles Wu (5) Ken (5 - 4) Patrick Wilson (4) Rod Eagle (3 - 3) Winta McGrath (4) Floyd (4 - 3) Steve Bisley (5) Jim Knight (5 - 3) Brittany Clark (5) Mia (5 - 4) Miranda Tapsell (4) April (4 - 3) Uli Latukefu (5) Darren (4 - 3) Shalom Brune-Franklin (5) Aoife (5 - 5) Kate Jenkinson (4) Tara - (3 - 3) Dustin Clare (5) Jarrod (5 - 5) Chantelle Jamieson (5) Sharna (4 - 4) Annabel Wolfe (3) Ivy (2 - 1) Vince Colosimo (3) Carlito (2 - 2) Angus McLaren (5) Toke (5 -5) John Waters (3) Michael (3 - 2) Lincoln Younes (4) Tom (4 - 3)

I have been watching this as the Heart Guy in the US. I was delighted at first but am finding the characters becoming a bit tiresome. How many times does Hugh have to self- destruct or can't Charlie ever think before she whines? These characters started out great but are becoming stereotypes as in a soap opera. Hugh appears to have grown a bit, Meryl is superb and the others Knights are forever immature. I hope the writers can evolve. The "cut to bonking" is sophomoric, physically uncomfortable and unnecessary for what could be a family show.

... show was cute-fun for a couple seasons... then had nowhere to go... season-finale showing all of its glaring weaknesses... was well time calling-it-quits.

OK premise, wild child drunk surgeon, struck off, but sent to work as doc in small rural area, short on Doctors. and of course, it's where he is from and not speaking with father. and his brother is married to the girl he jilted (not a spoiler0 you find this out right away. set up

At 1st mildly entertaining; but it wears thin rather quickly. and by episode 5, I gave up. Couldn't sit thru it anymore.

I only gave it 2 stars- bec it's was entertaining for a few episodes, and a change from all the murder mysteries which seem to be the main plots, foreign included. I'd rather re- watch Fargo, or Veep or Better Call Saul.

I'm enjoying this so far. I like the laconic dialogue and depiction of small town lifestyle.

However, I'm waiting for the usual Aussie malaise, the gradual descent into cliché driven soap. I'm hoping this time, Charlie doesn't allow herself to be seduced by Hugh, Matt doesn't die to make way for Hugh, Hugh doesn't have sex 'to make a baby' with Charley - he's a surgeon, let him supply his sperm the clinical way for a change.

How about a stable if quirky family situation that doesn't deteriorate into the usual melodramatic BS... There's plenty of material in the outback lifestyle to keep the series going for years if they do it right.

I stumbled across this show one night when I had nothing to watch. I've always been a big fan of Rodger Corser but this just made me love him more!! The cast is awesome and they all play their roles perfectly. The only thing I would say is that the show probably downplays the impact of drugs... for example Hugh will do drugs but then will come into work. Season 1 of the show is gold! You can't get better Aussie tv then season 1 of this show! I highly recommend Season 2 was good (not as good as 1 but still really enjoyable I still loved it). Season 3 there was a significant drop but it was still watchable, unfortunately season 4 wasn't good. I've rewatched the early seasons 4 times they were so good! Sadly the show has started to drop in quality Season 5 is on the way I hope that it picks up again cause I was disappointed with the last season. Still a huge fan of Rodger's though :)

I have recently found Acorn TV, and so far I love everything I have watched. But, I don't understand why this show is called "The Heart Guy" on Acorn, but called "Doctor Doctor" here? Still a great show. I'm beginning to think I should have been born in Australia!!

The show starts off as a bit of fun but at Season 3 now it seems to be losing steam. It seems now they can't quite work out whether they want to be soap opera or parody.

Parody would be my vote, stick to that and just have fun with it.

This was a surprising find for me. I just finished all 5 seasons and enjoyed every minute of it. It's sad they had to end it. I will miss seeing the characters, their stories and the beautiful scenery. Well done!

I love this TV series! The cast is good and the story is interesting. I'm soo happy that its still is very Australian and not so Americanised I hate how Americanised Australia is getting and the old TV programs Australia just doesn't seem to let go. Keep going on its a nice change.

Note: After a lot of searching for this series which was purported to be on my streaming services, I discovered the title is listed as "The Heart Guy" in the USA on Acorn & Prime Video streaming. NOWHERE could I find reference to that fact.

I keep watching because I can't help myself. I am so frustrated by Hugh, who seems to sabotage his own life and happiness at every turn, but of course, that is why people keep watching and it's now into 5 seasons.

It is hard to know what else to say without getting into spoilers, except that I do enjoy the entire cast. The writers have done a great job of creating complex characters and fun to watch the interactions.

This show started out to be enjoyable. With each passing episode, it got worse and worse. It got to be so bad, I hated to finish it but my curiosity got the better of me. It never did get better, it just kept getting worse. I really loved Rodger in "Glitch"-such a pleasure to watch but this was too painful. Terrible. terrible show!!!!
