Synopsis
The 1990s comic drama Northern Exposure became a cult hit while it was airing, and has since retained a devoted following. Beloved for its strong writing, acting, and quirky characters, the program views the remote Alaskan town of Cicely through the eyes of young New York Jewish doctor Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow). Joel is forced into setting up practice in the town after failing to read the fine print on a med school grant, but discovers that the unusual townspeople are not as backwards and intolerable as he surmised.

Devotees of Northern Exposure will treasure this collection as being, without doubt, the best of the best. For those new to this cult American series about a New York doctor's enforced employment in small-town Alaska, this collection of 23 episodes (which includes six that were nominated for or won Emmys) will provide an introduction that will ensure the purchase of the earlier series. All the characters are finely drawn and well developed, the interactions between them are borne of a familiarity that can only be achieved when cast, crew and writers have worked together for a number of years. The comedy is warm and witty, the observation of life astute and the homespun philosophy which underpins each story thought-provoking. Watch an episode before you go to work, and spend all day with a smile on your face!

The beauty of Northern Exposure is it hasn't dated a bit. Considering this is over ten years old, it feels so fresh. There's been nothing as good as it on our screens since.
I used to watch this programme every week and it is truly wonderful to have it back in my life. The subject matter tackled and the way each episode makes you happy to be alive is rare indeed. Some of the episodes are a bit surreal but never too weird to alienate you from the characters. The programme makes you connect with the weirdness in your own life situations which is why it works so well. The landscapes and music are a sublime mix that makes each brilliant episode (there are no duds) pass by all too quickly.
Northern Exposure is the best programme to come from the States and is maybe the best TV show ever. Five stars out of five without a doubt.
