Josh Charles is the perfect lead for this brilliantly character-driven comedic procedural. Best Medicine is a world we&#8217;ll all want to be part of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The series centers on Martin Best, 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&#8217;s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he&#8217;s all they&#8217;ve got. Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he&#8217;s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged right smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds, and fantasies. What the locals don&#8217;t know is that Martin&#8217;s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.<\/p>\n<h4>ABOUT JOSH CHARLES<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/josh-charles-bio.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-99914\" src=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/josh-charles-bio.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/josh-charles-bio.webp 600w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/josh-charles-bio-200x300.webp 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a>Josh Charles is best known to television audiences as Dan Rydell in <em>Sports Night<\/em> and as Will Gardner on <em>The Good Wife<\/em>, which earned him two Primetime Emmy Award\u00ae nominations.
