Watch Doctor Odyssey: Synopsis
If there's a thematic throughline that has characterized some of the best TV over the last few years, it's horrible things happening to rich people. One look at the promotional poster for Doctor Odyssey – a grinning Joshua Jackson wearing a stethoscope and staring knowingly from a superyacht – and it's clear that ABC is about to add another to the pile. Keep reading to discover how to watch Doctor Odyssey online and wherever you are.
A new offering from small screen doyen Ryan Murphy is always worthy of celebration. It doesn't take a lot of thought to reel off the hit shows that he's kept us entertained with over the last couple of decades: Nip/Tuck, Glee, American Horror Story, 9-1-1, Pose, Ratched. His is a creative mind that seems never to sleep and simply refuses to be pigeon-holed.
This time Murphy's applying his winning brand of humor to the fertile ground of the medical procedural – and setting it all on a really expensive luxury cruise ship. Jackson plays Dr Max Bankman, who is the new on-board doctor, and you can bet your bottom million dollars that he'll have plenty of weird and wonderful medical emergencies to keep him and the crew occupied over the 13-episode run.
Murphy has eschewed his regular stars for this one, with Phillipa Soo (Hamilton), Sean Teale (Incorporated) and the familiar face of Miami Vice's Don Johnson making up the regular cast. But the beauty of Doctor Odyssey's 'case-of-the-week' format allows for a revolving door of guest stars. The likes of Shania Twain, John Stamos, Gina Gershon and Kelsea Ballerini have all been confirmed to appear.
