Lahela (don't even think about calling her "Doogie") Kamealoha is a 16-year-old doctor living and working in Hawaii in this reboot of the 1990s classic series Doogie Howser, M.D. Her mom Clara (Kathleen Rose Perkins, Episodes) is also a doctor at the hospital where Lahela works, and her relaxed dad Benny (Jason Scott Lee, Mulan) runs a shave ice truck when he's not surfing. Even though Lahela gets along well enough with her mom to make TikToks together, there's a lot of tension between them, as Clara is the boss both at work and at home. Add in teen stuff like a first dance, pushing curfews, a nosy dad, and getting her driver's license, and Lahela has a lot going on. Luckily, her best friend Steph, her romantic interest Walter, and her hospital colleagues are there to support her as she navigates how to follow the Aloha Spirit and the Hippocratic Oath.
