The Death of Dr. John Parker

I would have given this five stars if there was just one season. Unfortunately, I had to downgrade it to three. The second season began with some hope as we are introduced into a new investigation of two people’s’ deaths. As the season continues, it gets confusing trying to understand Dr. John’s current state and the story that is being told about the past. Then I get to the season finale and based on what is said in the extra episode, it was supposed to be great. Without giving anything away, I will say that the finale was very disappointing. If you were thinking that there would be answers, there are none. And even more sad, we are told that there may never be another season. I hope that there is a Season 3 to tie together all the loose ends. Otherwise the series as a whole ended up being a complete disappointment!

The premise and the story itself is super interesting. But oof the acting was just so bad I couldn’t go through with it. With some real and talented actors, this could have been a fantastic piece of entertainment.

Additional work

Is the fact that every male character on the show is self-righteous chauvinistic garbage supposed to be part of the gag, or something? The main character/narrator violates his wife’s consent twice in the first five minutes and later badgers her into “cooperating” and calls it a win, and then he spends a ton of time being judgmental about another character’s cheating before frivolously and incorrectly accusing a random old lady of adultery. I tapped out when he suspiciously talked down to a housekeeper for no reason. Terrible dialogue and robotic voice acting I can handle; this is just cringe.
