Ryan Murphy's 'Doctor Odyssey' Divides Critics with Its Unconventional Approach

The new Disney+ series blends medical drama with cruise ship antics, leaving viewers questioning its intent.

Starring Joshua Jackson as Dr. Max Bankman, 'Doctor Odyssey' takes place on a luxury cruise ship, blending elements of medical drama and comedy.
Critics are puzzled by the show's seemingly intentional silliness, with some questioning whether it is a parody or simply a misfire.
The series features a cast including Don Johnson as the ship's captain and Phillipa Soo and Sean Teale as nurses, with bizarre medical emergencies adding to the chaos.
Despite its campy nature, the show has moments of charm, largely credited to Jackson's committed performance.
While some find the series to be a fun, guilty pleasure, others criticize its lack of depth and coherence, likening it to an extended in-flight safety video.
