This episode kept everything working smoothly with trickery and counter-trickery. However, I'd vote to finally resolve Mike's deal — the constant changes are getting a bit tiresome, and the ending had a tad too much sentimentality for my taste.

I had a great time. Once again, Doc Martin got plenty of opportunities to shine, not just as a doctor but also as a romantic. While he embodies professionalism in his medical role (minus his aversion to blood), he's a total amateur when it comes to romance. I can't help but picture a bull in a china shop every time he tries to play the romantic hero.

Much like the previous episode, this one was very well written. Despite a few reservations, I still gave it five stars. The storyline about saving a death row inmate could have been more compelling if it didn't so blatantly tug at the heartstrings.

Sure, the constant pretense that every lawyer has a moral code compelling them to forget about money and fully empathize with their clients is a bit much, but there were far fewer of those sappy moments this time around. Overall, I had a blast.

Another episode I really enjoyed. Thankfully. The first four episodes almost made me stop watching, but I'm glad I stuck with it because the story finally picked up. Plus, Louis and Donna had me laughing like crazy.

For the first time this season, I actually enjoyed an episode. The lawyers finally got down to some real lawyering, and thankfully, Louis went off the deep end again, giving me a good laugh. Why ask someone on a date when you can just buy a house for a few hundred thousand dollars, right?

Well, my feelings about season six haven't really changed. Actually, there was one small difference – I did enjoy Louis's sudden crush on the architect. But otherwise, it's the same old story: the plot's still heavy-handed, and the melodrama continues unabated. Three stars, mostly for Louis.

I’m not sure if I’m just not in the right mindset for season six yet, or if it’s simply falling flat. After the first three episodes, this season feels incredibly heavy-handed. There’s barely anything to laugh at, and I’ve had my fill of emotional outbursts and moral lessons. It’s all a bit too much.

The second episode felt just like the first, and I’m still not impressed. Mike's time in prison is a bad joke, and I can't help but wonder if the screenwriter had a lobotomy to come up with this. Once again, the creators laid on the melodrama too thick, so my enthusiasm is seriously waning.

Unfortunately, this episode left me disappointed. Mike acted like a complete idiot in prison, despite claiming to love The Shawshank Redemption — clearly, he didn't grasp the movie's message. The entire episode lacked energy and was way too focused on playing the emotional card, which just didn't work for me.
