DOC MARTIN: SERIES 7

I am utterly broken hearted. What happened guys? Even my hubby (who usually did other things about the house as I watched loyally) noticed the lack of energy in one of the main characters, Louisa.He said, "Why is Louisa (character) being so mean? Nobody wants to watch that. She isn't making any sense. Blows hot and cold. And MOSTLY COLD, especially as of late.She NOW only seems to be interested in Martin because he was popular on the radio"???????My hubby never really cared much for her callous ways before, but now, she is completely distant...And I see it very clearly too... She is very uncaring...To Martin and, seemingly, even to being on the show itself. We realize she doesn't write the show, but even her facial expressions were empty.I don't know... Maybe that's the way they wrote those first few episodes of season 7,... Maybe the are building up to her leaving or something... but something isn't right. She even looks different. Honestly, she looks angry all the time. We wondered if she was ill (in real life) or maybe she is just tired?????Anyway, I have to agree totally with him. She looks incredibly miserable... Like she doesn't want to be there. I WOULD GLADLY TAKE HER PLACE!!!! No... REALLY!!! LoLBut something has happened. Something is very different now and we, the viewer, feel like we had possibly missed an entire season or some major event on the program.BUT WE HAVEN'T!!! So, what gives?Anyway gang, IT ISN'T TOO LATE TO SAVE THE SHOW, ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE SOME REDEEMING TO DO!!!And PLEASE DO...I LOVE MY BBC!!! I LOVE MY DOC MARTIN!!!Bert Large (character) said once that they would keep going as long as we, the viewer, would let them.Well... We are loyal fans and adore this wonderful British Comedy. So, please, ...get your groove back and realize how truly blessed you are by GOD above to have such an incredible opportunity, in doing this fabulous thing.I was an extra for years at Wilmington, NC's Screen Gems (across the pond) and I know it is truly terribly hard work, and super long hours,... but you only go around once.And if you are burnt out, as least "go out" leaving them wanting more. Please don't trash all these years of tv magic.This show is far from out-of-story ideas... Especially in that gorgeous little village, with so much surrounding it.So, I would just suggest that your writer's hit or get off the plot... But please... Don't run it into the dirt.Just a note: This show has given me a new bucket list dream: TO VISIT CORNWALL!!!!!But sadly, with the current invasion of Europe erasing any sign of BRITISH CITIZENS, coupled with the fear of a flying issue, well... both just terrify me now...But I would just love to visit (or live) in my ancestral home. AND... I'd give my left arm to be an extra on the show <3I don't like criticizing my favorite show, but I am just so sad that it feels as if you are throwing in the towel, right when you were on top of your game!!!!!! Don't cha feel THE LOVE ANYMORE???????If need be, get a replacement love interest for Martin.But don't turn it into a horrible show about him always hurting or cowering to a mean, unloving woman who can't make up her mind what she wants... (or only loves Doc if he is continually impressing her)!!! If you ask me, Doc Martin is the normal one in that relationship! There's no satisfying her. Ok, I've said my peace. Please... DON'T 86 THIS AMAZING SHOW!!!

I liked that the DVD was exactly as stated in great condition. Not one problem. Thank you.

Terrific 8 episodes! SUPERB! I certainly don't understand the negative reviews ... though I do understand that we all have specific tastes. Nevertheless, we were wary as we began to watch the episodes but were quickly relieved to realize that this season's episodes are stellar. Louisa does return early on in the season and she and Doc tiptoe around each other trying to get along. They do go to counseling, which is a real hoot with some surprising twists ... if you look deep enough at what goes on. The other characters are there and not too over the top: Aunt Ruth (still lovable), Bert Large (still annoying but lovable), Al Large (nice guy), Morwenna (lots of lines), and PC Penhale (a bit pathetic as usual). Sally Tishell has a lot to say, but things there take a refreshing twist as well! The episodes (except for maybe one) are totally believable, though the Doc does have some rotten timing sometimes. Louisa is NOT a raving lunatic at all, like some say, and the Doc reacts (IMHO) exceptionally normal to some of the situations that arise between he and Louisa. What a GREAT season. And they've definitely set it up for a last season, Season 8, which has been announced for production in 2017. Sigh. I can't wait. Don't miss this season of Doc Martin and the lovable characters from beautiful Portwenn.

I was a little disappointed with Season 7 of Doc Martin after waiting forever on pins and needles to see what the outcome would be where it left off in seson 6. I am a HUGE Doc Martin fan and can and have watched every episode from season 1 to 6 atleast five times! I thought I would die from excitement in anticipation for series 7, but I think I expected more than what I got...I feel like the characters are no better off than the last couple of series ago. I was wanting to see more development between Doc Martin and Louisa, a little more connection and feeling. I think that all the distractions, disruptions and drama is just a little much. I mean, I know the writers don't want to make things too predictable or fairy tale, but my goodness.I still love the beautiful scenery and all the townsfolk, but I have a feeling that we're drawing close to the end of this wonderful series, because how long can the Doc and Louisa keep having all these issues?There's a lot of different ways the writers can go, because like I said it's a great show, with talented writers/producers/actors, so we'll see (fingers crossed)!

Series 7 premiered in the US on PBS in early 2016. Doc Martin is one of those British programs that many Americans have fallen in love with. The Doctor is an uptight London surgeon who develops a fear of blood. He changes his specialty to GP and takes a position in rural seaside village in Cornwall (filmed in Port Isaac). Doc still has his surly moments dealing with the local populace. Even though he is rude to his patients he has an endearing quality that makes you like his character. The scenery is stunning and really another character in the story. The will they or wouldn't they of Doc's relationship with Louisa, a local school teacher, continues as they enter couples therapy. This show falls under a combination of drama/comedy. There are serious and comedic parts to each episode. The issue of whether or not Bert Large and his son Al will ever catch a break and be successful at whatever they undertake continues with Bert on the wrong side of the law. PC Penhale provides a comedic element without even trying. Aunt Ruth is still the stable force in Doc's life. This series is filmed every two years and it has been said two more are on slate to be filmed in the future.

Comedia fina !

Marvelous viewing. DW

Martin Clunes is brilliant as Doc Martin. He is an excellent doctor with no sense of humour at all which makes him so funny. Another great series and a must have for Doc Martin fans.

A brilliant series.I bought this for my friends in Germany. They love it

Sehr gut
