Reviews
I am sure this show isn’t perfect, but I give it the maximum rating simply because through all of the seasons, it has never disappointed me and has remained consistent. There is a balancing act going on, for to be believable, Doc Martin must show some development and empathy, or else why would the community or indeed his main squeeze tolerate him for so very long? Sure, he is a great doctor, but he can’t be a jerk all the time. Although obviously Martin Clines dominates the show with his quirky personality, it is nevertheless an ensemble show, with great support from actors playing oddball characters. Aspects of the show are predictable: guest stars’ characters are apt to contract rare ailments, and Doc will need to make one or two emergency house calls per episode. I imagine when the show is done and so start at the beginning to re-watch the shows, I may notice weaknesses here and there, but in the moment, as I stated above, I have never been disappointed. The show delivers.
