Some might say Best Medicine is a medical procedural, but others, me, would say it is a lunatic event of the week show.
So what crazy thing are they doing tonight at 8p in Fox? The townspeople are celebrating the Horror novel Blood Factory, which takes place in their small town, by turning the pages into a live play. Think Steven King and the Stanley Hotel, but in this case, the author worked at an ice cream shop there 40 years ago for a summer.
Anyways, every year, they turn Port Wenn into a blood factory and recreate scenes from the book. As we know, but the residents don’t know, Dr. Best (Josh Charles) faints at the sight of blood. So, how is he going to handle the fact that there is going to be blood everywhere for the week as they prepare for the big day?
Things get even worse for him when Louisa (Abigail Spencer) comes down with a mystery illness that involves a cough and a rash, and she is not the only one. And in Port Wenn, when someone gets something, others do too. Therefore, her ex, Sheriff Mark (Josh Segarra), and some of her students also develop the same symptoms.
So, it is up to Dr. Best to figure out what is going on with them. Before he does, he will try to shut down the annual event to stop the spread because that is what he does.
How far will Louisa go to make sure he doesn’t do that? And will they make out as Liam (Josh Hoon Lee) says in the promo above?
I am not going to tell you that. But I will tell you, by not watching, you are missing a show that makes me wish I lived in their small town because each week the lovable neighbors do something fun, and their doctor is kind of cute! Granted, they get sick all the time, but he also makes them better. So there is that.
