As a hard-charging London surgeon, Martin Ellingham didn't need a bedside manner. His patients were unconscious, so he could be as rude and arrogant as he pleased. All that changes when he develops a crippling fear of blood and is forced to give up surgery. Now a GP in a sleepy, picturesque Cornish fishing village, Doc Martin offends everyone in town, including the one person he wants to impress, beautiful teacher Louisa Glasson. Getting her attention proves even more difficult when Louisa's old flame returns to the village and becomes his new rival.
DVD ; 16:9 widescreen ; Dolby digital stereo.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very Good! submitted by strawberryhead on April 30, 2016, 9:07am 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 This is a fun show that manages to have some touching moments.

Series 1 and 2 were the best. Then it lost steam, but it is still far better than the soap operas like Downton Abbey submitted by Tassos on February 19, 2019, 8:04am Just Watched all 9 episodes of Series 2 on DVD.

This is about a competent doctor and a charming village on the Cornwall coast, whose residents are, without exception, a bunch of insufferable fools, perverts, and crazies. When the main characters play, the show is fun to watch, but the damned supporting cast has to get a part too, to get paid, so the writers pathetically insert lame sub-plots with these inferior actors, with pitiful script, which is best watched on MUTE and Fast Forward.

The writers of this show frequently have to resort to the medical dictionary. This is an easy way out for them to fill time, instead of coming up with an interesting plot. So they make the residents of this charming village drop sick like FLIES, of all kinds of ludicrous or not ailments, including some one has never heard of.

If they fire the writers and restrict the subplots and focus on the main talent, with more gifted writers, the show could improve considerably.
