What is Doctor Foster about?
Doctor Foster is a story of betrayal and revenge, where GP Dr Gemma Foster begins to suspect that her husband of fourteen years, with whom she has a son, has been cheating on her. She discovers tiny clues, and is eventually driven to extreme action. Whilst her personal life falls apart, she struggles to maintain a professional bedside manner in her GP surgery.
