Can you tell us any more about this show?  Where is it airing/streaming?  Who's in it?  IMDB and theTVdb are not very helpful.  I see it's in dramas.  Apparently it's a remake or reboot of something (based on the topics here) but all I can see with a similar name is a comedy from the early 2000's.

Doc is a Medical Drama TV Series airing on January 7, 2025 on FOX at 9pm. Doc is based on an ongoing Italian TV Series, currently in it's 3rd Season, "Doc — Nelle tue mani (Doc – In your hands)", which was inspired by a true story where a Chief of ER forgot the last 12 years of his life after being in a car accident.

The hard-charging, brilliant Dr. Amy Larsen, Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After being in a car crash, the resulting brain injury erases the last eight years of her life. Amy must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of the patients she's treated, colleagues she's crossed, the soulmate she divorced, the man she now loves or the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away. Amy can rely only on her estranged 17-year-old daughter, whom she remembers as a 9-year-old child, and a handful of devoted friends, as she struggles to continue practicing medicine, despite having lost nearly a decade of valuable knowledge and experience. Amy must start her medical career over as an intern and somehow rebuild her life from the fractured pieces which remain. 

Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen, the hard-charging and brilliant Chief of Internal and Family Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who receives a traumatic brain injury that erased her memories from the last eight years of her life. She must resume her medical career as a 1st-year  resident. 

Omar Metwally as Dr. Michael Hamda, the new Westside Hospital Chief Medical Officer (CMO), who possesses a natural authority and obvious intelligence. Michael works hard to bring humanity back to the business of medicine. He trained as an MD, but realized early on that he could do more good behind the scenes, so he got an MBA and followed the administrative path. While driven in his career, Michael has always put his family first. And even though his marriage to Dr. Amy Larsen fell apart, he's still an excellent Dad and does his best to manage the complicated relationship he has with his ex-wife, despite the fact that they now work together.

Amirah Vann as Dr. Gina Walker, a neuropsychiatrist and Amy's best friend for two decades, Gina is witty, warm and dedicated. Post-accident, she's also Amy's doctor. It's not easy for her to balance the two competing and colliding roles she plays in Amy's life – being both her doctor and her friend – but she walks that fine line with grace, good humor and a lot of love. Where she sometimes has more trouble is with navigating her own personal life.

Jon Ecker as Dr. Jake Heller, the dedicated and charming Chief Resident, who loves Amy, professionally and personally. And though, painfully, she now has no recollection that she was in love with him, Jake continues to defend and champion Amy's work in the hospital. While Jake is warm and fun to be around, he keeps a lot close to the vest – including his troubled upbringing and his strained relationship with his ex-wife, Rachel. They share custody of their 5-year-old daughter, Mia, who is the most important thing in the world to Jake. 

Anya Banerjee as Dr. Sonya Maitra, a 3rd year resident, she's self-deprecating and funny – or snarky, depending who she's talking to. She hates the way Amy has treated her and others at the hospital. But it's complicated, because Jake, who adores Amy, is Sonya's closest friend. Sonya comes from a close-knit family: her parents have been married 30 years, and she is the "last single sibling". Sonya acutely feels the pressure to hurry up and tie the knot, since her biological clock is ticking. But sadly, Mr. Right has been elusive. Tasked with taking care of Amy after her accident, she starts to see another side to the boss she detests.

Scott Wolf as Dr. Richard Miller, an attending physician, Richard is uptight, ambitious, and afraid to admit mistakes. However, he's extremely kind to his subordinates and completely devoted to his family. He adores his lawyer wife, Victoria, and their kids. Unfortunately, recent family drama has caused upheaval at home and is distracting him at work. Richard and Amy were once friends, until she "stole" the coveted position of Chief of Internal and Family Medicine from him. Which is currently his position, after Amy had her accident. Richard is enjoying the top position, where he is sure he belongs, at least for now... 

Patrick Walker as Theodore "TJ" Coleman, a 1st-year resident, TJ is wickedly smart, kind, and strong. TJ is charismatic with an infectious smile, a veteran who is the son of two cops. TJ and Amy go back a long way – in fact, she was his inspiration to become a physician. TJ keeps this a secret, not wanting it to appear that he received any preferential treatment from the Chief of Internal Medicine. When Amy returns to work after her accident, TJ, now basically her equal, will have her back and prove fiercely dedicated to helping his role model navigate the challenges of her new reality.
