Type: dramatic

The long-awaited return of Luca Argentero-Andrea Fanti is not betraying expectations. The third season of one of the flagship series of public service in recent years has been airing for a few weeks.
Doc is a medical drama which, as you will remember, it was based on a classic narrative device, the protagonist’s loss of memorya lack from which various stories and narrative lines have unfolded.
The fiction is inspired by the true story of Pierdante Piccioni, doctor and former head of the Lodi and Codogno hospitals (the same one from which the Covid-19 drama started) who lost his memory following an accident and found himself forced to retrace the entire process of studies and practices to become a doctor again. In the happiest tradition of generalist fiction, Doc starting from this element, he grafts a series of work, intimate and sentimental entanglements.

The strength of the series, which in the second season had introjected the pandemic into the narrative as a tribute to the sacrifices of healthcare workers, lies in its ability to explore Dr. Fanti’s personalityhis intuitions, but also his human frailties.
For fans of a now “cult” series on the Italian scene, capable of adapting to every season.
