Summary
Michaela Quinn, a Boston physician trained by her doctor father and left without patients after his death, answers a newspaper advertisement for a town doctor and arrives in Colorado Springs in 1867 to discover that everyone assumed Dr. Mike would be a man. When the local midwife Charlotte Cooper dies, Michaela inherits her three children, Matthew, Colleen and Brian, and builds a practice against the resistance of the reverend, the mercantile owner Loren Bray and townspeople unused to a woman with a medical bag. Her work also brings her among the nearby Cheyenne and their medicine man Cloud Dancing, and into a slow courtship with the frontier scout Byron Sully. A CBS family Western drama starring Jane Seymour that ran six seasons.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 31.
