On this special holiday edition of Conversations, creators and showrunners of the Peacock series, Season Two of Dr. Death, Ashley Michel Hoban & Patrick Macmanus.
Season 2 dramatizes the story of Swiss-Italian surgeon and medical researcher Paolo Macchiarini convicted after experimenting on his patients.
Based on the podcast of the same name, “Dr. Death” follows the real-life stories of medical “professionals” who took advantage of their situations and allowed their egos to harm – or even kill – patients. While each season covers the personal lives and atrocities committed by the doctors, they also tell the stories of the courageous people who brought them to justice. More importantly, they also expose the educational and medical institutional failures that allowed these people to practice medicine in the first place.
The pair sit down with TheFilmGordon to discuss the new season and their new responsibilities for the show.
