I've watched the first episode twice. An outstanding story line and beautiful surroundings. Witty, charming and a real pick-me up show.
Ruby is a new Doctor from England who moves to India after her boyfriend breaks up with her. She finds herself in less that ideal circumstances as she ends up working in a hospital that is for the poorer people of the area. The three other doctors with totally different attitudes towards their profession they all welcome Ruby in different ways and make up a family style group for everyone to be entertained by.
Ruby with her own new attitude adds add her own personal style of caring for people and helping them realize what is important in their own lives. Her charming English attitude is helpful with the patients and the staff alike.

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!!!!
I am absolutely THRILLED to read that Series 3 has been confirmed. I will wile away another year watching reruns. But, at least this next year I have 12 episodes to watch rather than 6. I truly enjoy ALL the characters - their flows, streangths, etc, the various story lines, the setting. Can't wait for next year!
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.

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.
