We’re getting the first look at Emmy nominee Josh Charles in Best Medicine, Fox’s upcoming comedy drama, a US remake of the hugely popular British series Doc Martin.
The series centers on Dr. Martin Best (Charles) a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child with his Aunt Sarah (Annie Potts). There, he will meet the eclectic townspeople, including the charming schoolteacher Louisa Gavin (Abigail Spencer), lovable Sheriff Mark Mylow (Josh Segarra) and Martin’s inept but endearing assistant, Elaine Denton (Cree).
In the teaser trailer, the townspeople flock to him, greeting him as “Doc Martin.” “Dr. Best, actually,” he replies. Sheriff Mark Mylow (Segarra), then welcomes “Dr. Best, actually” to town. Spencer’s Louisa confronts the slightly ornery Best, saying “Part of being a doctor here is getting to know you’re patients.” But he says he doesn’t “care about silly little festivals or gossip like everyone else in this town. I’m here to work.”
Per the logline: “Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he’s all they’ve got. Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he’s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged right smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds and fantasies. What the locals don’t know is that Martin’s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in this small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.”
The series comes from executive producers Ben Silverman (The Office, US), Rodney Ferrell (stick), Howard T. Owens (Stick)Liz Tuccillo (Sex and the City)Mark Crowdy (Doc Martin) and Philippa Braithwaite (Doc Martin). Doc Martin was brought to the US by Propagate Content, alongside All3Media International,
