- Description: The chilling reality of unchecked power, wielded not by a king or dictator, but a surgeon, forms the terrifying core of Peacock’s “Dr. Death.” This isn’t just a medical thriller; it’s a stark exploration of systemic failures and the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition. Joshua Jackson delivers a masterclass in unsettling charisma as Christopher Duntsch, a neurosurgeon whose arrogance masks a profound incompetence. The series expertly balances suspense with a chillingly realistic portrayal of the medical world, forcing viewers to confront uncomfortable questions about trust, accountability, and the human cost of negligence. While the procedural elements are gripping, the true power lies in the character arcs, particularly those of the tenacious lawyers fighting to expose Duntsch's crimes. "Dr. Death" isn't for the faint of heart, but its unflinching gaze on a horrific true story makes it essential viewing for anyone fascinated by true crime and the fragility of the human condition.
