The Kitchen Table

New tv series starting tonight on Showcase

Dr Death.

"Based on a hit podcast and inspired by the terrifying true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch, a young and charismatic star in the Texas medical community. After building a flourishing neurosurgery practice, everything suddenly changes when patients entering Dr. Duntsch's operating room for complex but routine spinal surgeries start leaving permanently disabled or dead. As his victims pile up, two fellow physicians and Dallas prosecutor Michelle Shughart set out to stop him."

Joshua Jackson is the lead (who I love), also Christian Slater is in it. Unfortunately, so is Alex Baldwin. I can't stand the looks of him. He makes me want to shower, he's so slippery and slimy looking. He gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Ooh - I heard the teaser for that podcast, but didn't download it yet. So now it's a show too?

There are a number of shows now that started as podcasts. Homecoming is one I listened to first, then watched on Amazon Prime.

What is Showcase?

Melinda had those 'bug eyes' and was in outer space as Ramsey said. She deserved to leave. She couldn't cook angel hair pasta? C'mon, give me a break??!!! 5 flippin' minutes in boiling water and drain. How do these folks get picked. Robert is back. Okay, I like the guy. He is funny as hell. But he left for a heart condition and came back not only looking like he GAINED WEIGHT but with a real superiority attitude that was not deserved and will be shot through full of holes before the next episode. I have symathy for heavy people, but the dude is like 500 lbs and had a heart scare and if nothing else it looks like he has gained weight, not lost. Somewhere Richard Simmons is quivering in his shiney shorts@! I'm not just picking on her. Lovely (who the hell names their kid that?) is a loser and will go home soon. This character who wants to fight Ramsey is a psycho and must either have a hidden agenda or the whole thing is staged. I'm not sure what to believe anymore. It's all fun, but it is getting extra hilarious with the contestants. I guess that is what reality T.V. is all about. Duane

I agree...it'll never be the original Dallas...but it keeps my interest... Have they ever mentioned Pam on the new show? How did they write her off the original? I don't remember! I had Steve Kanaly on a flight several years ago...he was very nice...I knew his voice before I saw his face! I was on the floor setting up the beverage cart and he came back and asked me for something...i thought...mmm I know that voice...boy was I surprised when I turned around and saw him standing there!!

Well, I love faces and have always been interested in noses, haha. This was a pic I found last night -- maybe this is what you're seeing Fly (9/07)? It was doing this back in 2006 also, looking at his blog. Does have a bit of that ps-look from the right, though couldn't find any good pics. I hate to think he's messed with his face, too : ) Looks a big tired and poofy to me in new pics, with smaller eyes. Liked his less coifed look, too, myself. Not that it's important, lol. I liked his old show and creations, though not the gimmicks that they'd started doing when showing the final shots, which flashed by so fast and techno, and with sound effects or music, that I couldn't really see them.

anybody still watching??? i'm all caught up as of last night. when i first started watching, i wasn't really sure if i liked it. a little deep, violent, edge of my seat, straining to hear every word so as not miss anything, not all happily ever after type. tv for me is escapism for the most part. of course i like some moving shows but for the most part i like mindless shows, reality, home shows and sports. i don't watch much so its just a way to wind down at night, more or less. but this show sucked me in and held me. i think they cast it really well. the actress playing beth is amazing. the scenery is gorgeous, now i want to go Yellowstone!! what do u guys think so far, for those who are caught up?? like, love or stopped watching?? John - didn't like what i saw in the last episode, i'm nervous for him!! anyone know if its renewed for another season, or is this it???

Sounds like it will be a very short lived "series"...waaay to public a venue for a serial killer to work out of an operating room. I would file this under 'TUPID 'entertainment'. HARD PASS

Arcy, the show is actually based on a real doctor and real events.

Christopher Daniel Duntsch (born April 3, 1971) is a former American neurosurgeon who has been nicknamed Dr. D. and Dr. Death for gross malpractice resulting in the maiming of several patients' spines and killing two of them while working at hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Duntsch was accused of injuring 33 out of 38 patients in less than two years before his license was revoked by the Texas Medical Board. In 2017, he was convicted of maiming one of his patients and sentenced to life imprisonment.
