Why Watch This

Best Medicine’s second season has a built-in treat for Doc Martin viewers: Martin Clunes is returning as Robert, bringing the original series’ distinctive presence back into the FOX adaptation. His scenes with Josh Charles’ Dr. Martin Best also give the show a fresh way to explore its central father-son tension, while the amusing prospect of two Martins anchors the series’ crossover appeal without losing sight of its new lead.

Best Medicine is bringing a little more Doc Martin into Season 2. The hit FOX series is based on the beloved British comedy that ran for 10 seasons, and original star Martin Clunes is coming back after appearing in the first season.

Clunes returns as Robert, whose son is the doctor at the center of Best Medicine. Josh Charles leads the series as Dr. Martin Best, with the complicated relationship between the two characters getting even more attention this fall.

Two Doc Martins in one show? Sounds like the perfect prescription.

Best Medicine returns September 22 on FOX.
