Show: Doc Martin Season/Volume: 3 Genre: Comedy Starring: Martin Clunes, Caroline Catz Studio: Acorn Media Runtime: 323 minutes Release Date: February 2, 2010 Format: DVD Discs: 2 Rating: ( )Grade: B+ Not to be confused by the shoe brand of the same name, Doc Martin is a British comedy starring Martin Clunes as the hilarious and rather blunt Dr. Martin Ellingham. The show takes place in the United Kingdom and features medical mysteries that only the Doc can solve. Series 3 is much of the same old situations where villagers present the doctor with their problems in hopes of getting a quick resolution. Of course, he's not well known for his bedside manner and can be rather blunt when it comes to diagnosing a patient and offering advice. Still, he's the only doctor in town so for now, the village is stuck with him. Clunes himself is where most of the humor from the show comes from. He's like a miniature version of House although he isn't quite up to that skill level just yet. He often mocks his patients and doesn't show any remorse for putting them in the spotlight or embarrassing them. He's blunt as can be when it comes to questions and isn't afraid of saying what's on his mind. With that in mind, you know there are going to be some great scenarios. The dialogue can be dry at times but it never fails to produce a laugh at least a few times per episode. Doc Martin might not be amazing or funny as some other shows currently out there but if you happen to find yourself looking for something to watch, I'd suggest it. |
