Based on Robyn Carr novels. Set in Northern California (though filmed in Vancouver).
"This is Doc Hollywood" I thought immediately. (In recognition of this, the doc actually refers to her as 'Nurse Hollywood' at one point.) With flashbacks showing us why she's there, and giving us other back stories. It's untaxing telly, most welcome, actually, not the best acted thing, but inoffensive. I kept thinking of small rural communities in Empire Falls and Nobody's Fool, and Cookie's Fortune.
With Alexandra Breckenridge (should have known her - she's the recurring character Sophie from This Is Us), Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson (from Animal House), Annette O'Toole, Colin Lawrence, Lauren Hammersley, Jenny Cooper, Ben Hollingsworth.
Reel World for Netflix.
