TF1 broadcasts Wednesday evening from 9:05 pm the first two episodes of the first season of the series "Doc".

Yet another medical series which is nevertheless a small revolution for the chain.

This transalpine success story is the very first Italian series broadcast in prime time in the history of the front page.

TF1 begins 2021 with a brand new series.

Her name is

Doc

 and the channel believes in it a lot.

It broadcasts Wednesday evening at 9:05 pm the first two episodes of this Italian series.

In his country,

Doc 

gathered up to 8.5 million viewers.

It is quite simply the biggest success of the year among our neighbors.

But this programming remains a real bet for TF1.

Until now, the channel had never ventured outside of American series and its own French creations.

For the TF1 group's program director, Xavier Gandon, this risk-taking is also explained by the evolution of the fiction offer on our continent.

"European fiction, like French fiction, progresses and innovates," he observes.

"With 

Doc

, we have Italian creators who have managed to make a series that we find better than many American series. It succeeds in reinventing the medical genre."

Arrogant doctor turned hospital patient

And the channel's crush was immediate.

"In the TF1 teams, we all devoured the episodes. So we said to ourselves 'When it's as good as that, we buy and we offer to viewers'. We hope they will be as enthusiastic and upset as us ", wishes Xavier Gardon.

Doc

, tells the story of a brilliant and arrogant doctor who is shot by a patient's father.

When he wakes up, he has forgotten the last 12 years of his life: he no longer remembers that he was divorced and that one of his two sons died, he must relearn how to practice his profession.

We will know Thursday morning, with the audiences of the first two episodes broadcast Wednesday evening, if the bet of TF1 is successful.
