COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very Good! submitted by strawberryhead on April 30, 2016, 9:05am This is a very good series. Falls into Comedy Drama. The TV series is safe for the whole family to watch BUT the two movies prior to the tv series have some sexual situations in them. The movies have a different storyline then the show and the show is 10 times better.

For interested parents:
-No sexual situations other than a child born out of wedlock, the couple is monogamous and they eventually marry.
-There is one gay couple storyline in one of the shows however it is not central to the series.
-No American English swearing other than maybe the D word, there may be a couple English "bullocks" here or there.
-No overtly anti-religious themes however one small recurring character is slightly mocked by Doc Martin for being a Born Again Christian-Bible Thumper-Jesus Freak, however Doc Martin is openly hostile to all people equally so the characterization is dismissed by other people in the stories. Most characters in the show go to church, many church scenes and there is a wedding church scene and school children singing about the Lords gifts.

No western (American) child indoctrinations detected. So nice to see a show without an "agenda" other than to be entertaining!

Overall the characters are delightful and many are somewhat odd, Doc Martin is curt and grumpy and lacks "bedside" manner.

Fun submitted by zmclaugh on August 2, 2018, 5:14pm A fun British show set in a small town.

The garbage you get to see on most TV Channels is only equaled by the garbage you eat in packaged foods and restaurants. submitted by Tassos on February 11, 2019, 11:22am The garbage you get to see on most TV Channels is only equaled by the garbage you, the average shopper, eats on a daily basis, if my decades of observation of what the shoppers in front of me every Saturday afternoon waste their hard-earned $ on, is any indication.

This series is a very refreshing change from all that garbage.

I had seen before one or two episodes on PBS, but yesterday I borrowed the series DVDs and saw the first 6 episodes, in their right order, and it was so much better. It all made pefect sense.

This is an OUTSTANDING series, especially compared to the GARBAGE, the UTTER GARBAGE, our TV programs are FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH every day. Worthless reality shows, contemptible soap operas, BOTH on Networks AND on PBS (Downton Abbey, anyone?) Disgusting news-free Local and network news, moronic movies. You name it.

I saw one existing review where some pedantic schoolmarm applied political correctness criteria to evaluate if this show is ok for children

Everybody Pay attention: This is a show for GROWN UPS, it was not targeted for Children. There is a whole section in the library with Children's DVDs.

And not only is a show for GROWN UPS, the more grown up your BRAIN is, the more you will LOVE it and appreciate every little (but VERY THOUGHTFUL) nuance in the EXCELLENT script and acting.

This show is an OASIS. Too bad in a few weeks I will have finished the 8 seasons (are there more?), and it will be time to turn off the STUPID TV and the idiotic movies and read more GOOD (not your bestseller crap) books instead.
