Dr. Death (2021–2023)
7/10
Season 2
22 December 2023
First - IMDB please allow people to do different ratings for different seasons- especially for anthology type shows like this!

Second- I think I liked season 1 more but pretty close ratings wise.

S1 I had not listened to podcasts or anything just some general chit chat so I didn't know much. S2- I'd seen the Netflix special before.

After watching both S1 and S2 I did watch the actual Dr Death documentaries so this review is written with those contexts.

There were a few dramatized things in s2 I wasn't a fan of (namely her sneaking into the Barcelona house after the overly dramatic this propert doesn't exist and having her friend go to the door to allow her time to sneak out, which we know didn't really happy. We see from the actual videos in the car there were 3 friends and they drive near and just saw the kids). I don't think that added anything to fake that.

As much as I love MM, and I love seeing her in something and she is gorgeous- this wasn't it for her. Had I not seen the real person I would have thought she was great (so nothing on her at all) just bad casting.

Main character was pretty good casting but they never gave him that bad hair cut I saw in reality.

I did like the liberal take on the dude characters- the American - loved him in marvelous Mrs maisel, English girl was great as Ashley in revenge (I've disconcerted why she hadn't been in more since!). We know on these the there are more liberties taken with accuracy of side characters.

Overall it's obviously an attention grabbing story.

And scary. All those CVs that don't add up. Nobody ever checked?!? Hmmmm.

Overall. Very good. Some incongruities for me as far as story telling and how they cut episodes but an entertaining watch.
