"Its subject’s crimes are so enormous, and so strange, that they render him unknowable, and leave a vacuum at this series’ center."

—

Variety

"Fabulously addictive..."

—

Collider

"The show never truly answers the why of Duntsch's story. But the what and the how are harrowing enough."

"Extraordinary..."

"Dr. Death gets lost salivating over the salacious details..."

—

Slant Magazine

"Dr. Death never feels sensational or exploitative, expressing the empathy for Duntsch’s victims he so clearly lacked."

—

RogerEbert.com

"Highly bingeable stuff."

—

Sydney Morning Herald

"More unnerving than any horror movie."

—

Paste

"Fully engaging for a few hours, carried the rest of the way by a strong cast."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"This adaptation manages to improve on its source material, perhaps because the story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch is so monstrous, it must be seen to be believed."
