The eight-part drama stars Joshua Jackson (https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/sep/05/joshua-jackson-interview-dr-death-dawsons-creek) as the Dallas spinal surgeon who was more butcher than doctor, and whose appalling lack of skill l
eft a trail of patients permanently disabled, and two of them dead. He was imprisoned for life in 2017.
This limited series is inspired by the Wondery podcast of the same name (https://wondery.com/shows/dr-death/) and tackles the story of disgraced Dr. Christoph Duntsch, a real surgeon who was sentenced to life in prison in 2017 (https://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?awinmid=11005&awinaffid=103504&clickref=whattowatch-gb-1092178216230364300&p=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.sky.com%2Fstory%2Fchristian-slater-dr-death-star-on-the-real-life-horror-story-of-former-neurosurgeon-christopher-duntsch-12396806) after a series of botched surgeries.
The series follows Duntsch, who is described as a 'young, charismatic and ostensibly brilliant' surgeon. However, as patients who enter his operating theater begin leaving either maimed or dead, two fellow physicians (along with a Dallas-based prosecutor) team up to stop him from harming any more people.
Canadian actor Joshua Jackson leads the Dr. Death cast as Dr. Christopher Duntsch.

The series also stars Christian Slater Dr. Randall Kirby and Alex Baldwin as Dr. Robert Henderson, the two physicians who catch on to Duntsch's scheme and set out to stop him, aided by Dallas-based prosecutor, Michelle Shughart (AnnaStophia Robb).
