An extended tale (tail?) of a New York doctor “banished” to Alaska (although it was mainly filmed in Washington State I believe) to repay his college debts. He suffers massive culture shock (no bagels) as he comes across a room ange of bizarre, and often endearing characters, as well as a life he never imagined in his worst nightmares - from the ex astronaut magnate through the local DJ by way of a hermit cordon bleu chef. His coming to terms with his new life fascinating. Well written and pretty consistent until (imho) the last series, it is well worth watching.
It has aged well. I rented the first disk as my collection of DVDs is missing it!
