A gentle, sunlit medical drama that balances small crises with community warmth, offering comfort and mild emotional stakes.

Overview: The story of British-Asian junior doctor Ruby Walker who arrives at the run-down Good Karma Hospital to join a dedicated team of over-worked medics. Run by a gloriously eccentric Englishwoman, Lydia Fonseca, this under-funded but creatively resourceful cottage hospital is the beating heart of the local community. It’s much more than just a medical outpost - it’s a home.

About: Healing, found family, identity, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
