As a former medical professional, I Absolutely love these series. I agree with other reviews about the sassy receptionist. It's a more annoying part than it is cute. Not to mention the group of young tarts that patrol the streets obsessed with insulting the intelligent Doc Martin. It's just too cheesy and annoying. The series would be better without it. I love Martin's character, and do not find him grumpy but a little fed up with the village idiots. The only time I dislike his character a little, is when he throws the dog out. Better to throw out the 3 receptionists who are totally annoying, unprofessional, and have a serious problem with their dress code.
Comments During interviews have favored Louisa over Martin as if he's to blame for all their problems. Louisa seems to always be fishing for a confrontation. She expects Martin to agree with all she says and does. Martin is simply an intelligent doctor who takes his profession very serious. Not only is Doc Martin the top n his profession, but he's strong and doesn't usually back down. When he does, it does not fit his character. Doc Martin's character is every Sensible woman's dream mate.
