- Synopsis
- TV Series (1990-1995). 6 Seasons. 110 Episodes. Northern Exposure is a series about a young Jewish doctor (Rob Morrow) from New York City who is obligated to practice in Alaska. Dr. Joel Fleischman was promised a comfortable position in a large hospital in the state's largest city, but he was too trusting. When Joel arrives in Alaska, he learns that he has been assigned to run a one-doctor clinic in Cicely, a tiny logging village filled with odd inhabitants and even stranger happenings.

"[Season 1 Review]: Some spots are noticeably rough and unfinished, with several lapses into clicheland, and occasional bumps where the need to set the series' premise knocks against the wish to do good, episodic storytelling."
-
"[Season 1 Review]: The show's quirkiness is neatly mixed with a familiar fish-out-of-water theme, and its sensibilities are nicely in touch with soft humanity. It's delightful."
-
"[Season 1 Review]: My fear is that the show may be too Alaska. TV is not ready yet for Nanook of the North, even if he has a New York accent."
-
"It's a simple setup (...) But the series is stocked with good actors playing vivid characters in a realistic environment (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
