An engrossing 3-part documentary series about a Doctor Death type surgeon who claims he can replace windpipes in humans with plastic. However, he is shown to be a fake and a fraud. But not before many people die horrible deaths due to his lunacy.
A female reporter is charmed by Doctor Death and apparently fooled into making a favorable film about him. Later she realizes she was duped.
This reporter is guilty herself of being romantically involved with Dr Death when she hid her conflict of interest when she was meant to be making an independent film about him.
And I find her outrage concerned more with being duped at the altar rather than her pity for the victims.
Also, guilty other surgeons-who now are meant to be hero's for exposing the crazy- but who ought to have known well before they did that Dr Death was toting junk science.
Shame on them too and the series never addressed or explained their failure to act sooner, so I reduce 2 marks for that:
6/10.
