The Good Karma Hospital

I stumbled upon this series and recognized Dr Fonseca from the series New Tricks which we really liked. This is a great series with interesting characters and very good story lines. We couldn't believe how fast we watched all the episodes. We'd love more!

I've seen two episodes and I want more. This a great show with tons of possibilities. I watched it on Acorn TV and was pleased to see here that there is more to come. It is intelligent, well written, with drama but no violence and hatred. There should be more shows like this that give us a smile or a tear but do not make us hate humans or fear for our futures. Don't know how else to say it. Amanda Redman is very good in a new character, not typecast, so are the other actors. The setting is nice and realistic at the same time.

Loved Amanda in the old show New Tricks so was attracted to this new program because she was cast in it. Absolutely love the show !!! The characters and story line not to mention the setting have won me hands down. Was so disappointed when the series ended tonight so checked the web to discover to my delight a second series is about to be produced. Look forward to seeing it next year.

I am still reeling from the episode I saw last night, with the wedding. So much beauty. Everything was so gorgeous. The colours, the costumes, the jewellery, the landscape - everything! The story lines are a bit weepy (for happy and sad!). All the actors are very beautiful. That house boat where the dying Dr Virginia (Sue Johnston) lived was the most beautiful thing ever!!!!

Give this show a break. I don't see why some critics are so harsh. "...does not have an original bone in its body...." It's a medical drama. How different could it be from the 83,243 medical dramas that preceded it? It has decent writing, good acting, generally relatable likable characters, good production values, beautiful scenery, humor, a little suspense, a little romance, a basically optimistic outlook... you get the drift. This is entertainment. Relax a little and enjoy it for what t's worth.

Addendum: The way I rate shows... I don't usually review anything less than a 7 because 6 would be a failing grade and I won't waste my time watching it. I'm old; I don't know how much time I've got left. Since I probably turned it off before getting even halfway through, it wouldn't be fair to rate or review it.

7 is watchable but I may go a while between episodes since, though somewhat entertaining, there are other shows more interesting or compelling.

8 would be a regular in my lineup.

9 is a must see and probably bingeable.

10 is just the epitome of superbity and headed for my all-time favorites list.

I'm adding this to my reviews because it seems there are a lot of binary reactions to pretty much everything these days. I am not a like/unlike kind of guy. I see a lot of grays so if I give something a 10 it doesn't mean the only alternative is a 1.
