Twin Sister Doctors Push Boundaries in Gory Reimagining of Cronenberg Classic

Dead Ringers, a reboot of David Cronenberg's 1988 psychological thriller, recasts the Mantle twins as ambitious New York obstetricians and works spectacularly on Amazon Prime Video.
The showrunner Alice Birch recasts the Mantle twins as women, played by Rachel Weisz, which submerges the story in the bloody realities of women's bodies, appetites, and ambitions.
The show caused some walk-outs due to its detailed depictions of childbirth and medical procedures but was applauded at Canneseries.
The show follows the story of two damaged doctors chasing wholeness in a field that treats pregnancy like a disease and babies like fetishized commodities.
The show is grounded in the real, physical as well as subconscious, messiness at the intersection of science and motherhood and sisterhood and technology and money and morality.
