Season 1

Dr. Death (2021), Season 1 is a true-crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes drawn from a real Dallas medical scandal. At its center stands Christopher Duntsch, a charismatic neurosurgeon whose patients kept leaving the operating room maimed, paralysed or dead.

The season runs two threads toward a collision. One follows Duntsch himself, played by Joshua Jackson — a rising surgical star who becomes something far darker under the lights. The other tracks vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Édgar Ramírez) and neurosurgeon Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin), who fight to pull his license while a medical system keeps shielding one of its own. Prosecutor Michelle Shughart joins them to build a case with almost no precedent in American medicine. The question isn't whether he gets caught — it's why it took so long to stop him.

Adapted from the Wondery podcast about the actual Duntsch case, these eight episodes trade serial-killer suspense for a colder anger at institutions that look away. Jackson and Ramírez carry the heaviest scenes without flinching. Stream Dr. Death Season 1 online on iFILM.
