“I feel like in the state of the world, we want a warm hug,” Abigail Spencer says on a fall day in upstate New York. TV Insider is on the set of the new Fox comedy, Best Medicine, and it’s easy to see why it will give us just that.

The series starring Josh Charles follows his character, Dr. Martin Best, a brilliant surgeon who suddenly 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 with his Aunt Sarah (Annie Potts). The townspeople include Spencer’s charming schoolteacher Louisa, Josh Segarra‘s lovable sheriff Mark, and Cree as Martin’s inept but endearing assistant Elaine. It’s an adaptation of the British series Doc Martin. (Martin Clunes will be guest starring as Martin’s father.)
