Anyone watching Best Medicine? [View all]

Best Medicine is the American version of the British program Doc Martin. I've watched the first five episodes and I'm not very impressed with it. For full disclosure, I'm a big fan of Doc Martin and I'm currently re-watching season 1. The first episode of Best Medicine is almost identical to the first episode of Doc Martin. The main characters have the same first names as in Doc Martin as well as the town of Portween.

I find the character of Martin Best to be boring even though his character is supposed to evoke comedic situations with being a bit aloof but he just doesn't pull it off.

Abigail Spenser does a good job as Louisa Gavin, In Doc Martin, Louisa and Martin gradually fall in love but in Best Medicine it seems she's falling in love with Martin faster than he is with her.

One redeeming character is Annie Potts who plays Martin's aunt Sarah. Her character kind of reminds me of her playing Meemaw in Young Sheldon. She's great in making her character seem more real than the other characters.

I'll watch a couple more episodes and if it doesn't get better I'll stick with the original Doc Martin.
