Just saw an ad for this. Can’t find a thread so here’s goes

Right up my street - based on true life events - I have high hopes for this like steel murders

again another good cast !! JJ , Christian and Alex !!

It started June 20th so e3 is on Monday 11pm

not sure how missed it the other week

You may binge 1&2 as I will be to catch up 😂

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. You may know Jackson from The Affair, Fringe, Little Fires Everywhere, or, most recently, the Paramount Plus (https://www.whattowatch.com/watching-guides/paramount-plus-price-cost-deals-and-discounts-for-the-streaming-service)Fatal Attraction (https://www.whattowatch.com/watching-guides/fatal-attraction-on-paramount-plus-release-date-cast-plot-and-all-about-the-tv-series) serie
s.

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).

Dr. Death

We’re at our most vulnerable when we go to our doctors. We trust the person at the other end of that scalpel. We trust the hospital. We trust the system.

GingerRuby · 01/07/2023 23:14

I absolutely loved this, Joshua Jackson is properly chilling! I was also surprised it was on so late then moved from Tuesday to Monday as it is so good.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/07/2023 15:12

I'm struggling with this

It looks good

Mr blondes has given up

I've seen e1

Now on 2

XelaM · 02/07/2023 15:23

I think Joshua Jackson is brilliant but I absolutely HATE the way that shows/films love to muddle up the timeline and go back and forth to various events in the past/future. Why not just film scenes in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER?!? I have no clue what the timeline was and when any of the patients/investigations/complaints took place or in what order any of it happened. It's very irritating.

Blanketsburg · 02/07/2023 15:38

Ooh, watched this on Prime last year. Fascinating and scary that this is a true story.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/07/2023 19:28

@XelaM I have got confused with the timelines

Is it still on Prime!???! It's one I'd love to binge. Hate waiting for the weekly drop! Must check!

I'm watching this, loved the podcast

You know, I think it was actually on Starz , that you pay for within Amazon, now I think about it, I had it for a while so I could watch Party Down and watched this as well before I cancelled.

lazymum99 · 03/07/2023 08:51

I watched the first two back to back. Really good. Awful to think what he was allowed to do. Got really frustrated looking for somewhere free to watch the rest. Will have to wait til it’s dropped weekly

Ah dr death won't allow you to binge @lazymum99 😂😂

It's still on Prime, but I would recommend watching the documentary about him (also on Prime): Dr Death Undoctored . It makes much more sense (because they don't constantly mess with the timeline and is much more chilling because it has interviews with the real doctors and patients involved).
