Doc Martin with attitude?
2 October 2017 | by chrischapman-47545See all my reviews

ITV rarely produces a good sitcom but, with Bad Move, here is a formula that works. It reminds me of Doc Martin in terms of a grumpy main character with a supporting cast all with their own quirks. Good timing and tight scripts - it's one of those shows that will probably get better as it beds in and character story lines develop.
