Rebuilding Bonds
One of the main backstories of the show is the relationship between Frasier and Martin which turned into the show’s “sweetest, most hopeful long-term arc.” Martin is first introduced as a disgruntled old man who has lost everything in his life and has to move into his son’s apartment. Having been distant for so long, the three men slowly rebuild themselves into a united family and Frasier comes to realize, as Grammer stated in an interview with Vanity Fair, “wow, my dad’s a better man than I ever knew.”
