TV SHOW - DOOGIE KAMEALOHA, M.D.

Family-Friendly Entertainment (2 Season Series)

I recently upon a series that won me over instantly: "Doogie Kameāloha, M.D.”

The series, set in Hawaii and filmed in Waimānalo (locals will immediately recognize the beach!), follows the life of Lahela "Doogie" Kameāloha, a 16-year-old child prodigy and full-time doctor juggling work, family dynamics, and love.

What sets "Doogie Kameāloha, M.D." apart is its earnest and heartwarming storytelling. Conceived as a contemporary take on the 1989-1993 series "Doogie Howser, M.D.," the show is the brainchild of Hawaii-born Kourtney Kang, its creator, writer, and producer. The series was imagined as a fresh, modern spin on the classic 1989-1993 series "Doogie Howser, M.D.” and is very much a love letter to Hawaii. Each episode incoporates local slang, beloved foods, and well-known locations. The series consistently showcases compassion, courage, and teamwork and skillfully weaves tales of growing up, familial bonds, and professional ambitions with a heartfelt exploration of life's joys, balancing humor with poignant moments.

The ensemble cast features a number of stars, including Kathleen Rose Perkins (Episodes, Scrubs), Jason Scott Lee (Mulan, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story), and Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, Crazy Rich Asians), further enhances the show's appeal. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable, lending an extra layer of charm and authenticity to each episode. The vibrant personalities of each character, combined with the lush Hawaiian backdrop, make for an engaging and visually appealing experience.

For those seeking a series that blends humor, life lessons, family ties, and the spirit of Aloha into each episode, "Doogie Kameāloha, M.D." is a top pick. Prepare to be whisked away by this captivating, lighthearted show - it's a viewing experience that won't disappoint!
