HBO Original Series
Dr. Clara Webb, 31, is the finest neurosurgeon at her institution — and the most interpersonally catastrophic colleague anyone has ever worked with. Not cruel — simply unable to modulate social interaction in ways that don't include complete honesty, which in a hospital environment is equally devastating. Two seasons track Clara across a case that tests every limit of her technical capability (Season 1) and a personal crisis that requires her to access emotional resources she has never developed (Season 2). The romance with Dr. James Okafor — an anaesthesiologist whose patience is architectural and whose sense of humor is the only thing that makes Clara's honesty survivable — develops with the specific rhythm of two people whose professional compatibility runs six months ahead of their personal one.
