Best Medicine has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in the US on Hulu and fuboTV, and in the UK on Sky Go and Now TV. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 23 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Josh Charles is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Hulu.

There is a reason Best Medicine keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Best Medicine land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Martin Best is a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin's blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he's all they’ve got. Between them, Josh Charles and Abigail Spencer carry the comedy without ever forcing it. 2 seasons from 2026 gave the story room most shows never get. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Best Medicine holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Best Medicine is a strong candidate. Dr. Death is the obvious comparison, but Best Medicine earns its own place alongside it. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Josh Charles is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
