After a surprisingly good first season, Dr. Death: Season Two comes across as a series that Peacock felt forced to make simply because they’ve had few wins and need more content. The first half of the season is so focused on the relationship between Dr. Macchiarini (Édgar Ramírez) and Benita (Mandy Moore) that you kind of forget the series is supposed to be about someone called “The Cutthroat Conman.” It’s more like a Lifetime movie about a lying husband. It eventually gets to the medical malpractice story in the final few episodes, which is admittedly interesting, but it’s a little too late at that point.
