A blunt yet brilliant surgeon becomes the general practitioner in a quaint fishing village.
Matt Roush says...
It’s going to take a while for Doc Martin — that would be Dr. Martin Best (Josh Charles) — to warm up to the residents of quaint Port Wenn, Maine. And vice versa, especially after he discovers a contagion that prompts him to cancel the town’s popular baked-bean supper, a monthly communal event that they all take very seriously. “Still a sourpuss,” mutters the local businessman (Patch Darragh) who used to bully Martin as a kid and still calls him “Eeyore.” But there’s a reason for Martin’s dour nature, and sympathetic schoolteacher Louisa (Abigail Spencer) is determined to crack his shell.
