Doc Martin: Don't Let Go (2011)
Season 5, Episode 6
8/10
Startling Episode
6 March 2018
There are a trio of things going on here. The first, and most tiresome for me, is the case of Joe Penhale and his ex-wife. He is wearing thin as a character. Maggie has been cleared to leave, her amnesia being eliminated (probably). Her memory is coming back, including thinks about her marriage to Joe. The whole thing between them is rather frightening and very sad. He is so weak and pathetic. Secondly, we have the whole thing that is going on at the elementary school. A janitor, who comes back from a holiday, begins to act in the most bizarre way. Soon children are becoming ill and, indeed, acting in a rather undisciplined way. The third is the relationship between Martin and Louisa. As awful as he is, Martin is what he is. Louisa thinks she can change him. He is one of those people that has always been on his own, with his own ideas being the "only" ideas. The baby is a heavy weight on Louisa's day to day existence. The two characters and their occupations seem to be non-negotiable. I know this is a television show, but my advice is for them split completely.
