Every bully has a back story. Or should have.

The lead character of the TV series "Doc Martin" is totally unsympathetic as the series unfolds.

Then, a few episodes in, you meet his parents.

Never seen it, worth a watch? I do like Martin Clunes

[DrScump]

Absolutely, but you MUST watch from the beginning, in sequence, as the characters are developed and backstories unfold. Clunes does a brilliant job of being a total jerk.

At first.

It's far more than your typical fish-out-of-water setup.
