Compelling cheesyness
I came across this TV series accidentally one day while I was absentmindedly channel-hopping.
I'm not usually one for cheesy, family drama's, which, in a way this is, but became hoocked after one episode.
It centres around a broken man who leaves his job as a high flying surgeon in New York to a remote town with his teenage son and young daughter, to deal with, or escape his wife's death.
The doctor sets up a small-town practise where he treats the town's residents for no charge.
The main chemistry and storyline is provided by the difficult father-son relationship. Inevitably his son is very resentful of him for dragging him away from his home and for previously devoting himself to his work instead of his family.
The show deals with emotions in an embarrasingly honest way. For example our doctor deals with his wife's death by having imaginary conversations with her.
There are so many good characters that draw you into their lives in a very personal way making this compelling viewing. There are plenty of rivalries, resentments, unrequited crushes and lurking secrets to keep you going.
This is an excellent series which is well worth watching. -

Lovely and heartwarming. You get drawn in from the very start!!
All I can say is each episode draws you in makes you laugh and quite often cry, but in a GOOD way, as you become involved in all the different charactors lives. I've been waiting for the 3rd series to come (originally saw it on sky) for far too long as they are much further ahead in america!!
But I assure you it's well worth giving it a try and you will soon be hooked.
Treat Williams is great as Dr Andy Brown and you really get into his charactor as a brilliant New York Neuro Surgeon, who goes to a small town to honour his deceased wife because she one day confessed she had always dreamed of one day living the Perfect life there because as a child she had passed through the idyllic town of Everwood. She had made him promise if she died he would take their children there to live. He never realised he would have to keep the promise.
But in keeping the promise he actually gets emotionally involved with the patients he treats and with a real community and all that that entails, it makes for very compelling viewing!!
Even my husband was hooked!!
Enjoy you won't regret it. -
