I think this is a top notch, clearly Canadian TV show. It is refreshing to watch a television show which focuses on life in rural Northern Ontario. The series presents a variety of medical issues, not often explored on the prime time, mainstream, American medical series. I really enjoy the diversity of the characters...mainly the med students & their certified doctor instructors. It also introduces the viewer to the plights & struggles (mental, emotional, spiritual & even physical) of the mature & young students, whom may or may not have a strong cash flow. The relationships which develop between the characters are credible and believable. I find this show to be an engaging, realistic, & well directed glimpse of life in northern rural communities. I highly recommend this series! Cannot wait for season 2 to begin!
