Harry Potter & Don Draper: Together!
“A Young Doctor’s Notebook,” whose second season debuted last night on Ovation, is a show that risks being overwhelmed by its own premise. Harry Potter and Don Draper! Playing the same person! Loosely based on Mikhail Bulgakov source material, the high-profile casting — Dan Radcliffe and Jon Hamm — and source material, however, belie the series’ stakes (small) and its scope (smaller). Such modesty may make “A Young Doctor‘s Notebook” a disappointment to some, but when taken on its own terms, the show is an engaging black-hearted character study that’s only improved in its second four-episode run.
