Doogie Kamealoha, MD

Disney+, from Wednesday

Some viewers will grumble at this coming-of-age comedy drama, inspired by Doogie Howser, MD.

However, we quite like the thought of a recycled version of the hit series that made a star of Neil Patrick Harris. Hopefully it will do the same for Peyton Elizabeth Lee, who plays Lahela “Doogie” Kamealoha, a 16-year-old prodigy juggling a budding medical career with life as a teenager.

With the support of her caring and comical ohana (family), including father Benny, best friend Steph and surfer crush Walter, our heroine resolves to make the most of her younger years by forging her own path.
