Dr. Jonathan Fraser

Jonathan Fraser is a pediatric oncologist in Manhattan, married to therapist Grace and father to their son Henry. He is warm, quick-witted, and adored — the kind of husband who charms every room he enters. He treats dying children for a living and seems, at home, like the picture of a good man.

Hugh Grant plays against his own romantic-comedy warmth, using every ounce of that natural charm as a kind of camouflage. The performance keeps daring you to like him even as the show quietly asks whether likability was ever the same thing as trustworthiness. It's a masterclass in smiling and giving nothing away.
