I know I am WAY behind all of you on this series..... I would love to visit Portwynn one day. The town looks very quaint.
I'm only on season 3 though.
What did you like about this series.
I think it is funny how everyone still calls him Martin... even when he insists they call him Doctor.
Has anyone else had the thought that he should become a bloodless surgeon? LOL....

You are warmly invited to meet with us to observe the anniversary of Jesus’ death. Find a meeting location near you.
“You Will Be With Me in Paradise”
How will this promise be fulfilled?
In the hours before he died, Jesus assured his faithful apostles that they would be with him in his heavenly Kingdom. (Luke 22:28-30) He later promised a condemned criminal: “You will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43) How will those words come true?
The fulfillment of both promises is possible because Jesus surrendered his life for mankind, even for sinners like that criminal. Jesus’ sacrifice was so vital that he commanded his followers to commemorate it.—Luke 22:19, 20.
This year, the anniversary of Jesus’ death falls on Wednesday, March 23, 2016. Jehovah’s Witnesses invite you to meet with them on that date to observe the Memorial that Jesus instituted. You will hear an explanation of how his death can benefit you and your family.
