TV preview: The Good Karma Hospital
Both warming and life-affirming, it’s set to throw shade over dreary evenings, by escorting viewers to a vibrant coastal town in tropical south India.
Brimming with character, colour and charisma, the show tells the story of junior doctor Ruby Walker (Amrita Acharia), who arrives in India looking for a job and a distraction from heartbreak.

Run by a gloriously eccentric Englishwoman – Doctor Lydia Fonseca (Amanda Redman) – The Good Karma Hospital is the beating heart of the local community, held together by a hard-working, hand-picked team of British and Indian medics.
But as Walker adjusts to her new life in India, she realises that the hospital is more than just a rundown medical outpost – it’s a home.
