5.0 out of 5 stars Just simple, enjoyable and lovable, March 5, 2011

By

CM "CM" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Doc Martin (Amazon Instant Video)

This show is a must see. Doc Martin is little bit House, little bit ER, little bit Little House on the Prairie, and just overall just an enjoyable show that is about a simple life with some complicated situations. I just love the scenery and jealous of that small, harbor town life where its all about everyone getting along. No malls, No WalMarts, No Chili's, no commercialism what so ever. No gang bangers, CSI murders or over the top court cases. If there is an issue, you deal with it as adults. Love some of the characters... and oh by the way... no drop dead gorgeous actors either with Gucci purses and designer pumps while investigating a crime scene. I can relate to alot of these people day to day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doc Martin Series Review, January 9, 2011

By

Judith A. Ort - See all my reviews

This review is from: Doc Martin (Amazon Instant Video)

If you haven't seen Doc Martin you're missing a great show. I started watching it last year and loved each episode, especially the last one of the series. I won't say what happened because I don't want to give away the ending, but I was really anxious to see what happened next only to find out that it was not offered again but will be back in 2011 because of demand from the public both in Great Britain and the U.S.

Doc Martin is a doctor who says what he thinks and yells at patients who do not take care of themselves or follow his instructions. It is hilarious! He has come to Portman on the Cornish coast because he has a special problem that makes it impossible to continue as a surgeon in a London hospital. He has a phobia towards blood. It makes it hard to deal with patients because he gets sick whenever he sees blood and he is always trying to hide his problem. He meets Louisa, the town schoolteacher, and falls for her but they don't seem to get along most of the time until later when they get cozy and she becomes pregnant. He has a hard time showing his feelings to Louisa. She leaves town after their marriage plans gets cancelled. Then she returns and he has to watch her pregnancy without being involved in her life and it makes him crazy but he's too proud to tell her how he feels. The last episode is a stitch because the baby is coming and he is there but can't seem to be of any help. It's the best part of the whole series. I have watched all of the shows at least three times and can't wait until it starts again this year. Everyone who likes English sitcoms and romantic comedy will love this series.

This is an excellent, quirky, funny series. I was disappointed when I reached the end. I found myself missing the ol' Doc. I highly recommend this show!

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty and worth watching
It's amazing how a such socially inept person can be so likable. Love this show and its dry humor. It's laugh out loud funny and heartwarming all at the same time.
