    seductive
    a series. like many others. virtues of family, single father, brave doctor, seductive characters, problems of different ages, dramas, sickness, courage and high spirit of duty. almost nothing new. except the air of a small town, the humor, the tension and the memories about different other series. and, sure, the good performances, very useful for a holiday film. because this is its secret of seduction - it is a perfect holiday series, easy, soft, nice and full of adventures from the events of every day. ordinary people. and new and new challenges. so, right choice for refresh after a busy day. or for comfortable evening.
