St. Denis Medical

An eclectic group of underfunded yet dedicated doctors and nurses navigates caring for patients — and each other — while keeping it all together at an Oregon hospital.

St. Denis Medical (2024-present) is a American mockumentary workplace sitcom created by Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin for NBC. The series follows an eclectic group of underfunded yet dedicated doctors and nurses at an Oregon hospital, with Joyce Henderson (Wendi McLendon-Covey) anchoring the staff, alongside Alex Mazurkian (Allison Tolman), Bruce Schweitz (Josh Lawson), and Serena Jung (Kahyun Kim). The engine is simple and funny: a short-staffed ward must keep patients alive while its colleagues squabble, scheme, and cover for one another through supply shortages, bureaucratic obstacles, and the constant pressure of a busy shift. Each 22-minute episode is a self-contained case-of-the-week outing built around the staff's daily crises, and the show has run for two seasons with 44 episodes so far. Its tone is breezy and irreverent, with a deadpan, documentary-style camera catching awkward confessions and absurd emergencies alongside moments of genuine warmth. Fans of Scrubs, The Office and Parks and Recreation will find resonance in its blend of hospital chaos, mockumentary intimacy, and affectionate ensemble loyalty.

Audiences rate St. Denis Medical positively, with the first season considered its stronger run.
