Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
21st-century update of the US comedy about a very junior doctor
Year: 2021-2023
Certificate: pg
Inspired by the classic 1990s US sitcom Doogie Howser, M.D. (also on Disney+), this modern update follows a different junior doctor through the trials and tribulations of being a teenage medical genius. Peyton Elizabeth Lee plays Lahela 'Doogie' Kamealoha, the 16-year-old medic trying to earn the respect of her co-workers and patients at the Oahu Health Medical Center in Hawaii.
It's bright, brash cheery stuff aimed at an audience roughly the same age as its lead character, but with enough wry wit to appeal to older viewers too. In the second series, Doogie is pining for her surfer dude boyfriend, but is their relationship really going to be the same when he returns from a tour of Australia? Especially if her attention's been distracted by a local bad boy... (Two series)
