(this is mainly a review of Season 2 with mentions of Season 1)

The first season, though not without its faults, was solid through and through;
The second season regarding a different doctor not so much

Season 1 had a great main cast, Season 2 the lead actress just isn't great but the Norwegian/American doctors were perfect

I have no idea how Mandy Moore got this hiring, it was a terrible miscast;
even this seasons Dr Death wasn't that great where both felt straight out if Lifetime

whereas Season 1 actually made me like Alex Baldwin

Though if you can slog through the first 3 episodes it does get better and seasons 2 Episode 5 was genuinely a brilliant episode.

Season 1 - 7/10
Season 2 - 4/10 for the first half, almost 7/10 for the last half.

Will probably check out a third season

_Dr. Death_ is an okay show, watchable. I expected more.

* Whoever decided on the constant jumping back and forth in the timeline in each episode should look for another profession. This is interesting and enjoyable when done right, but with this it was distracting, erratic, unnecessary, and makes the story lose its depth or suspense of the real life story.

* _Dr. Death_ did not need to be eight episodes. The show suffers from the curse of Netflix - the need to stretching a single story into more episodes. The show tries to pad about 130 minutes worth of story out over eight episodes. Easily, this could have been a 3 or 4 episode mini series.

* For spending so much time on Christopher Duntsch, I don't feel like I gained any insight I couldn't have gained from his Wikipedia page. While watching, I kept trying to figure out if Duntsch is pretending to be a surgeon, a super bad surgeon with good intentions, or he is going out of his way to cause pain simply because he just enjoys it and is a psychopath. The show is dedicated to him, so I expected more answers. Another example is the whole part with Kelsey Grammer's character. That story never really developed, yet it seems like a significant plot point in the show and in Duntsch's life.

@cutecruel This is so true "The show suffers from the curse of Netflix"<br /> <br /> That's what driven me away from Netflix years ago.
