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?

I mainly enjoyed it, particularly for the Cornish scenery, I like Clunes and have also watched some of his documentaries. Sometimes I thought Doc Martin could get a little hokey at times, or two of the characters (Bert Large, Sally Tishell) would just get on my nerves and I would have liked for them to have perhaps created less annoying characters

Plus short length of UK series (typically less than 10 episodes per season) and then sometimes more than one year passing between seasons was annoying compared to a US prime time network series with 20-22 episodes per season ... I assume this abbreviated UK series cadence is what Netflix has chosen to copy for its own series
