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?

@JimboSaturn That's too bad. I thought the infux would have died down since the show is no longer taping anymore.

@JimboSaturn I've seen vacations being advertised for there. Also some BBC/Britbox advertisements to vacation and vist locations for Midsummer Murders, Vera and others.

@VeronicaJane No way! Those shows do make we want to go there lol. Shetland would be interesting too.

@JimboSaturn I get the impression that pretty much all of Cornwall or at least the coast is pretty regularly inundated with tourists and traffic and high costs because everyone, even Britons, would prefer to live there rather than the other English counties (and many rich Britons do seem to have a ton of second homes there) ... I think people loved Cornwall before Doc Martin was even a thing

Makes the French equivalent of Brittany potentially more appealing (curiously, both have a St Michael's Mount, so to speak)

There's also at least one pleasant movie, Fisherman's Friends, also filmed in Port Isaac

@ThirstenHowl Yes it was a vacation spot since Victorian times I'm sure.
