Off the Map is a medical drama series created by Jenna Bans that premiered on ABC in 2011. The show was produced by Shonda Rhimes' production company, Shondaland, which is famous for shows like Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder. Off the Map follows a group of doctors who have left behind their lives in the United States to work at a remote clinic in a fictional South American village called La Ciudad de las Estrellas (The City of Stars). The clinic is run by a non-profit organization called the Clinic for International Medicine and Outreach (CIMO), which sends doctors to underserved areas around the world.

The main character of the show is Dr. Ben Keeton, played by Martin Henderson. Keeton is a seasoned doctor with a troubled past who is trying to find redemption by working at the clinic. He is joined by a group of young doctors who are all grappling with their own personal and professional demons.

Dr. Lily Brenner (played by Caroline Dhavernas) is a rebellious young doctor who has come to the clinic after a personal tragedy. Dr. Mina Minard (played by Mamie Gummer) is a brilliant doctor who has left behind a prestigious career in neurosurgery to work at the clinic. Dr. Tommy Fuller (played by Zach Gilford) is a young doctor who is trying to escape his wealthy family's expectations. And finally, there's Dr. Zita Alvarez (played by Valerie Cruz), a local doctor who works at the clinic and helps the other doctors navigate the challenges of working in a foreign country.

The show explores the challenges that the doctors face as they try to provide medical care in a resource-limited setting. They often have to improvise and make do with limited supplies, and they're forced to confront illnesses and injuries that they wouldn't typically encounter in the United States.

The doctors also have to navigate cultural barriers as they work with patients who have different beliefs and practices than they do. For example, in one episode, the doctors have to figure out how to treat a patient who insists on traditional healing practices rather than Western medicine.

Aside from the medical challenges, the show also delves into the personal lives of the main characters. Each doctor has their own backstory and struggles, which are gradually revealed over the course of the show. The romantic relationships between the doctors are also a major aspect of the show.

Off the Map was generally well-received by critics, who praised the show's cast and the unique setting. However, the show struggled to find an audience and was cancelled after just one season. Many fans of the show were disappointed by the cancellation, as they felt that the show had a lot of potential.

Overall, Off the Map is a compelling medical drama that offers a fresh take on the genre. Its unique setting and diverse cast make it stand out from other medical shows, and its focus on cultural barriers and limited resources adds an extra layer of complexity to the medical cases. While it may not have been given the chance to fully develop its potential, Off the Map remains a favorite among fans of medical dramas.

Off the Map is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (15 episodes). The series first aired on January 12, 2011.
