Matt Roush says...
The usually docile town of Port Wenn, Maine, is in an uproar in the Season 1 finale of the quirky dramedy based on the British series Doc Martin. Excepting shady businessman Glendon Roth (Patch Darragh), the townspeople are outraged to learn that the representatives of a Norwegian “sister city” have hoodwinked them and plan to set up a disruptive offshore salmon farm. “There’s no (taking) sides in medicine,” insists Dr. Martin Best (Josh Charles), who’s no fan of the interlopers but does his duty when one of the Norwegians goes into labor, raising concerns after an unusual delivery. Martin has plenty on his mind, fending off the attentions of an ex, fertility specialist Eden Montgomery (Eliza Coupe), while risking exposure of his blood phobia if he tries to foil the Norwegians’ plot. A climactic and very sweet surprise party reminds us why a return to Port Wenn can’t come too soon.
