Based on the two movies, the series main character is slightly different. It is typical British small-community comedy where everyone knows everyone else's business. Doc Martin is a special, consistent character. My family had fun watching it and we look forward to watching it again. We especially liked seeing the natural beauty of that part of England.

After watching Doc Martin for the first time on PBS this year...we were hooked. Everything about the series is addicting and makes you want to visit (live) in Portween and be a part of the quirkly community. The 8th season has just come out and we watched it and hoping for a season 9...since they only film every other year...it will be a long wait : ( .....

The show has a great story line of Dr. Martin who is a brilliant doctor who is plagued with very poor social skills. The acting is superb. One can see the internal conflict as he struggles with a great difficulty in forming friendships. Dr. Martin is a wounded child due to his parents who were cold and detached. Throughout the show, the wounded inner child is struggling to break through the defensive posturing. Other characters in the show are complex and quite interesting. The story line is full of surprises. This is terrific entertainment.

Doc. Martin is a great choice if you like British humor, engaging characters, and a story line that keeps growing. Doc Martin and the village of Port Wynn is worth the watch. Recommend you start with Season One then use sequential. Each season builds on the prior and allows you to predict the characters, outcomes and understand the subtle humor...truly British.

This British series of seven seasons following two 90 minute movies has consistency in the writing and actors. Although Doc Martin starts as an Ob Gyn in the movies , the writing allows him to transition into a vascular surgeon with blood phobia but no change in personality. Martin Clunes is consistent as the rude and Asperger's like middle aged single man in a small village who learns all his weaknesses and strengths. IT CARRIES WELL AS A STORY ACROSS THE SERIES WITH A FEW CHARACTER CHANGES BUT CONSISTENCY WITH THE VALUES OF THE COMMUNITY OF PORTWEN(PORT ISSAC) . THE HUMOR IS SOMETIMES SLAPSTICK AND SOMETIMES TRAGIC. bUT TRULY A UNIQUE VIEW OF VILLAGE LIFE IN THE 21 ST CENTURY WHERE SHEEP GRAZE AND THE DOCTOR DRIVES A LEXUS.
