Anyone ever watch the series 'Doc Martin' with Martin Clunes?

Did you enjoy it? I loved it! One of my all time favorites.
Now they are trying to remake it as an American version. 'Best Medicine'. Good Lord. What a dumpster fire. They should have left well enough alone. Anyone else agree?

Are there any remakes that were worth the effort? My impression is that most US remakes of UK television series remove a lot of what makes them funny in the UK for fear of offending people in the US.

But I watch so few such things that I only have second or third hand reports of it.

Generally I'm of the opinion that trying to replicate a success is usually a doomed effort and that the money, etc., should be spent on creating one's own success.
