I think that Martin Clune does a good job of showing emotions the way someone like the Doc is able to show them. I am not left doubting the depth of his emotions, his love or his concern for people. Martin sees the world differently than other people, and he does not recognize the clues that would allow him to understand what people around him are feeling, unless he can imagine feeling something similar in response to their situation. When he "puts himself in his patient's shoes" he doesn't get very far because he sees the world differently. He wants to be good, so he carries out his professional duties to the "T". He sticks with protocol, is available to help in the way that he can. The Doc fails to notice the emotional landscape of his patients, and knowing that he can't read non verbal clues very well, he sticks to what they say, instead of what they mean. This leads to a lot of the comedy and mishaps in the show, but it does not happen because he is uncaring. He is caring but in the way that his perspective allows him to be.I love how the writers and Martin Clune get the "word/idea dump" that happens when Martins love for Louisa overwhelms him. When the rest of us would indulge in the luxury of caresses his brain misfires and he lands in the web of "reasons and explanations". When most would be enveloped in the wonder of another's smell he starts dissecting the significance of the smell, and destroys the whole moment.   See 1 other reply

I liked Kingdom for a few episodes, but it''s not really that much like this one.... maybe it's only my opinion, but the characters in Doc Martin have much stronger personalities. In Kingdom, they seem washed out and I got a little tired of watching him stare wistfully out at the raging sea :)   See 2 other replies

Add me to the list of those wanting the fourth season.And yes, I understand that it's available from Netflix, per-episode via Amazon and you may be able to piece it together on YouTube, but I'd rather watch in on Hulu.   See 21 other replies
