If you’re a fan of medical dramas like Call the Midwife, Grey’s Anatomy, Chicago Med, or The Good Doctor, you’ll find that PBS offers its own unique take on this genre. PBS’s medical dramas often dive into diverse settings and time periods, blending the technical challenges of medicine with rich historical, cultural, and emotional narratives. 

Whether set in a small-town clinic like Doc Martin or a mid-century maternity ward like Call the Midwife, these series provide a fresh perspective on the medical field. 

The Good Karma Hospital is back with Season 3. Check listings below.

 

The Good Karma Hospital 

THE GOOD KARMA HOSPITAL tells the story of junior doctor, Ruby Walker, who arrives in India looking for a job and a distraction from her heartbreak. She anticipates the sunshine, the palm trees and picture-perfect beaches. What she doesn't expect are the realities of work, life and even love at an under-resourced and over-worked cottage hospital.

You can binge-watch all three seasons now on SCETV Passport or catch the episodes on:

  • Saturday at 9:00 pm on ETVHD
  • Thursday at 5:00 pm on ETVHD
  • Friday at 8:00 pm on SC Channel

Doc Martin

Martin Clunes (Manhunt) stars as the abrasive and tactless Dr. Martin Ellingham, a successful London surgeon who begins working as a General Practitioner in the seaside Cornish village of Portwenn after developing a problematic phobia of blood. Doc Martin soon finds he needs all the allies he can get as he tries to negotiate his way around village life with hilarious consequences.

You can binge-watch seasons 6-10 on SCETV Passport.

Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS)

Based on remarkable real-life stories, this gripping drama series follows the modern-day heroes of the Royal Flying Doctor Service as they navigate private lives as turbulent and profound as the heart-stopping emergencies they attend to across some of the most beautiful and inhospitable places in the Australian outback.

Mercy Street

Mercy Street is a six-part PBS original series from Executive Producer Ridley Scott. Based on real events, Mercy Street takes viewers beyond the battlefield and into the lives of Americans on the Civil War home front as they face the unprecedented challenges of one of the most turbulent times in our nation’s history.
