About the series
A true-crime anthology based on real stories about doctors whose professional decisions had devastating consequences for their patients. The first season follows neurosurgeon Christopher Duntsch, who builds a reputation as a talented doctor. After a series of failed surgeries, however, his colleagues begin to suspect that something more serious is behind his patients’ injuries. As the number of victims grows, two doctors try to stop Duntsch and push for an investigation into his actions. The second season tells the separate story of cardiac surgeon Paolo Macchiarini, who becomes famous for experimental procedures involving artificial tracheas. His approach is hailed as a medical breakthrough, but questions gradually emerge about his patients’ outcomes, the credibility of his scientific claims, and how far he is willing to go to pursue his ambitions.
