From presents an ensemble of men under extreme collective stress, who choose care over self-interest, name grief to each other, build community, and are emotionally complex. Boyd and Ellis, in particular, have exchanges across all three seasons that feature mutual emotional disclosure. Ellis’s care for Fatima throughout her difficult pregnancy — rushing her to the doctor, sitting with her, reassuring her — is consistent and attentive, while Kenny cares for his elderly father Mr. Liu (who has dementia). Jim’s deepest relationship is with Tabitha, built on genuine partnership and mutual consultation throughout.
