Doctor Doctor Review
Doctor Doctor isn’t the best series I’ve ever watched, but it is far from the worst. In fact, I’ve enjoyed each episode. The series is definitely cliché and very cheesy. Nevertheless, it does have a certain charm about it. It is one of the better doctor shows I’ve watched, if you can call it a doctor show. The series is humorous and lighthearted, but there is a little emotion thrown in here and there.
I enjoyed the opener. It did a good job of establishing a storyline for the rest of the second series. It scores a 7.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Doctor Doctor now!
