Movie # 3057 ........................."Doc Martin - Season 9 "(Netflix DVD)

 Movie #3057 "Doc Martin - Season 9" (Netflix DVD)  - Well, since Netflix is going to do away with the DVD circulation part of their service, I culled about 30 DVD's from my cue of 500 (yep, it was kind of a big list) that I would like to see delivered to me in the next couple of months, mostly because they are really hard to get without paying a lot of money --- and this is one of them --- I know, I can get an Acorn subscription, but it would probably be just for this show, so season 9 was available through netflix, so we watched them.  After watching 8 seasons already, you would think there is nothing new in Port Wenn , but you are wrong --- this series has Martin's job on the line because of that blood thing with him (that is, he throws up whenever he sees blood, so being a doctor causes problems in that area) -- also, Martin and Louisa are discovering that their child James is looking a lot like Martin when he was young, being antisocial and all, so they decide he should have a sister --- that always adds humor to the show.  Of course, there are tons of medical issues in this small town -- on a daily basis!!!! -- which are hard to believe, but I feel I learn about a lot of diseases and medical problems that I don't want to ever have! (so  If you are a hypochondriac you may not want to watch this show!!!!) I love these characters, and there's one more season, and I will sadly have to say goodbye to this show, too!  Yikes!  Can you suffer grief from your t.v. watching?  is that a malady Doc Martin can fix?  I'd give this a 5 out of 5, too!
