**New York, NY** – Fox’s new medical drama, *Doc*, starring Molly Parker, has received a scathing review, criticized not for poor writing or acting, but for its pervasive unpleasantness and awkwardness. Based on the Italian series *Nelle tue Mani*, the show follows Dr. Amy Larsen, a brilliant but callous doctor who loses eight years of her memory after a car accident.
The review highlights the show’s reliance on tired stereotypes, portraying Amy as an unfeeling medical genius who clashes with colleagues and her ex-husband. While the amnesia storyline offers potential, the execution is deemed simplistic and binary: “Amnesia Amy is good, present-day Amy is bad,” the review states. The plot further suffers from an uneven balance between Amy’s personal struggles and the weekly medical cases, resulting in poor pacing and an overall frustrating viewing experience.
Despite Parker’s strong performance, the show fails to cohere, leaving the audience burdened by dramatic irony and uncomfortable situations rather than entertained. The reviewer concludes that *Doc* is ultimately an unenjoyable and actively depressing watch, urging viewers to seek alternative programming.
