《死亡醫師》是一部改編自真實(shí)事件的驚悚電視劇。故事講述了神經(jīng)外科醫生ChristopherDuntsch殺害和殘害33名病人的罪行，以及他最終被抓獲和定罪的過(guò)程。劇中由杰米·多南、亞歷克·鮑德溫和克里斯蒂安·斯萊特主演。劇集探索了Duntsch的心理和醫療體系中的漏洞，揭示了一個(gè)本應保護病人的體系竟然容忍了這樣的行為。劇集由PatrickMacmanus編劇。

這篇劇評可能有劇透

記得看完《大白鯊》之后很久都對海灘有恐懼感。這部《死亡醫生》也有類(lèi)似的觀(guān)感，一直在尋思以后不要看醫生了，退一步又想干脆還是不要生病了——盡管理性告訴自己這樣的醫生并不多見(jiàn)（貶義）。

《死亡醫生》不是恐怖片，沒(méi)有諸如尖叫或陰森的音樂(lè )等傳統恐怖元素，主角甚至多數時(shí)候都是笑容可掬，但是觀(guān)看過(guò)程卻一直覺(jué)得后背發(fā)涼；主創(chuàng )也無(wú)意將它做成懸疑劇，事情明擺在那里了，主要講述兩個(gè)好醫生，亨德森和科比，還有一個(gè)年輕的檢察官在扳倒壞醫生鄧奇的路上所遇到的種種阻礙，揭露惡魔的同時(shí)抨擊僵化的體制；謝天謝地它不是心理探索劇，后面Ebert的劇評里也講到了這一點(diǎn)，用不著(zhù)找原因替惡魔開(kāi)脫。

本劇將死于醫生的患者數據通過(guò)具體的人表現出來(lái)，因為可能發(fā)生在每個(gè)人身上，所以更容易引起共鳴。

第四集臨結尾兩個(gè)好醫生找到檢察官，舒加特女士有過(guò)好幾次特寫(xiě)鏡頭，就猜到下半場(chǎng)大概率以她為主導，從醫學(xué)調查轉入訴訟，刑事調查不是重點(diǎn)，關(guān)鍵是如何有效立案，給死亡醫生最重的處罰。

舒加特女士所問(wèn)的，也是在看劇過(guò)程中我一直想問(wèn)的，一個(gè)做事如此不周密的人是如何一步一步成為主刀醫生的——《實(shí)習醫生格蕾》等劇中的小大夫想得到手術(shù)機會(huì )都要明爭暗搶機關(guān)算盡，而鄧奇輕而易舉就拿到了刀。手術(shù)室政治讓巡回護士、X線(xiàn)技師等面對他的屠夫行為敢怒不敢言；類(lèi)似貝勒等醫療機構的逐利之心蒙蔽了監管層的雙眼；冗長(cháng)的司法過(guò)程讓受害者退卻，劇中提到過(guò)即使贏(yíng)了也只有25萬(wàn)的賠償，律師不可以分這種錢(qián)，意味著(zhù)沒(méi)人愿意接類(lèi)似官司。

當舒加特女士初見(jiàn)兩位好醫生時(shí)，他們因為她的年輕而受到了冒犯，覺(jué)得地區檢察官不夠重視。舒加特女士自己也說(shuō)：”對你們來(lái)說(shuō)我可能是too young too woman“。

我想鄧奇能夠很容易得到別人的信任，他白人男性的身份幫助不小。換個(gè)膚色換個(gè)性別可能就行不通了。

第五集手術(shù)之后，同臺的醫生直面鄧奇，譴責他不是醫生是屠夫。鄧奇居然笑了出來(lái)。

豆瓣簡(jiǎn)介里說(shuō)男主“聰明有魅力”，說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)我沒(méi)發(fā)現鄧奇此人有任何優(yōu)點(diǎn)。嗑藥酗酒謊話(huà)連篇，連基本的生活能力都沒(méi)有，鑰匙經(jīng)常性忘記在門(mén)上；從年輕時(shí)打橄欖球開(kāi)始就分不清楚左和右，這個(gè)問(wèn)題一直到手術(shù)時(shí)還存在；第五集他沒(méi)有辦法安裝好嬰兒床，而他的解決辦法是指責一旁打下手的溫迪，最后一跑了之。之前某集科比醫生形容他的手術(shù)，”就像安裝宜家的東西，安完后發(fā)現還有一袋螺絲（沒(méi)用上）“，是嬰兒床一幕的伏筆吧。

鄧奇對待他的每個(gè)病人，就像渣男對待每個(gè)女人，開(kāi)始時(shí)甜言蜜語(yǔ)、殷勤備至，得手后立刻換一副嘴臉。只不過(guò)鄧特的得手，是奪走別人正常生活的能力甚至生命。他對自己孩子的母親溫迪和好友杰瑞也是一樣，用后即棄。在拋棄過(guò)程中他表現出來(lái)的厭惡和嫌棄真是太讓人心寒以及惡心了。

只有Kim Morgan很快發(fā)現了鄧奇的真面目，然后果斷離開(kāi)。確實(shí)是聰明的女人，面試時(shí)就指出鄧奇診所的種種問(wèn)題。演員Grace Gummer，以前看過(guò)她的《醫緣》，是很有潛力的演員，這次《死亡醫生》比《醫緣》表現更好。不得不提一句（Grace本人可能不喜歡這樣介紹啦），她的母親是赫赫有名的梅麗爾-斯特里普，仔細看眉眼還挺像呢?！靖貉荨夺t緣》（Emily Owens M.D.）的，不是Grace，而是斯特里普的另一個(gè)女兒麥米-古默，Mamie還在《基本演繹法》S3E6演過(guò)兇手。姐妹倆長(cháng)得很像。Grace的代表作是《美國恐怖故事》等】

鄧奇給Kim的這封電子郵件會(huì )起關(guān)鍵作用吧？這么明確地表示自己就是個(gè)冷血殺手和反社會(huì )。這部劇目前還沒(méi)看到浪費的鏡頭或臺詞，鄧特辦公室里有一個(gè)壞了的燈曾經(jīng)有人問(wèn)起過(guò)，鄧特以自己舞技不好支支吾吾，幾集之后劇里交待了壞的原因。

第六集打電話(huà)騙老爸的錢(qián)，電話(huà)亭旁邊有骷髏的涂鴉。很有心的鏡頭。

Roger Ebert關(guān)于《死亡醫生》的評論

原作者是Ebert團隊的Brian Tallerico，國外的專(zhuān)業(yè)影評人是看到全部八集以后寫(xiě)的評論，給了3/4的評分?！尽?jì)仁俏业南敕?，不是翻譯。

Peacock’s intelligent and gripping “Dr. Death,” based on the podcast of the same name, avoids the pitfalls of many true crime narratives, smartly realizing that a monster like Christopher Duntsch can’t be explained in an eight-episode mini-series. I have a strong aversion to projects about sociopaths that attempt to explain them away via abusive pasts or other supposed “reasons” for their actions. Those ideas proliferate because of a human need to try and compartmentalize evil, but men like Chris Duntsch can’t be so easily explained, and this series about his rise and fall understands that. With excellent performances and a procedural tone that interrogates an entire system instead of just one man, “Dr. Death” is a solid drama about a man who thought he could play God but never realized he wasn’t talented or smart enough to do so.

【intelligent，gripping，smartly，excellent performance，solid drama，極盡贊美之詞。明確表示自己不喜歡心理探索，給惡魔人性化的描寫(xiě)，或者給他一個(gè)被虐待的童年什么的，完全用不著(zhù)。這段也承認八集是寫(xiě)不明白男主這樣的惡魔的，他就是一個(gè)想扮演上帝的人，卻不夠聰明，也不夠有才華——如果先天不聰明，也可能通過(guò)后天的努力獲得才華，但鄧奇只想走捷徑?！?/p>

A rising star in the Dallas medical community, Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson) promised life-changing procedures to his patients, most of whom came to him at the lowest points in their lives. He claimed to be a pioneer in stem cell research that would forever change those afflicted with spinal issues, and his neurosurgery practice seemed like it was on the rise when patients suddenly started coming out of his procedures maimed or worse. A neurosurgeon named Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) who was called in to clean up one of Duntsch’s botched surgeries realized the borderline insane situation with which he was dealing and aligned with a colleague named Randall Kirby (Christian Slater) to try and get Duntsch’s license taken away. As they investigated Duntsch’s many failures, they realized the depth of his depravity, and the whole thing turned into a legal case, led by a young Dallas prosecutor named Michelle Shugart (AnnaSophia Robb), who eventually prosecuted Duntsch in a precedent-setting trial.

【基本劇情介紹】

Created by Patrick Macmanus (“Homecoming”), “Dr. Death” jumps back and forth between the developing case—first focusing on Henderson/Kirby’s medical investigation and then the legal one with Shugart—and flashbacks to Duntsch’s procedures and personal life. The show opens with disclaimers about some names and facts changed for fiction’s sake, but the version of Duntsch here is a vile user, someone who discarded not just patients but everyone who helped him along the way, including his son’s mother (Molly Griggs). Even Duntsch's best friend Jerry (Dominic Burgess) ended up one of his victims after a spinal surgery paralyzed him. The portrait of Duntsch here is someone who impresses at first, especially those on hospital boards who might make money off a hotshot neurosurgeon, but whose fa?ade eventually crumbles, taking anyone around into the rubble. It certainly does for a confident physician’s assistant (an effective Grace Gummer), who sees firsthand the corners that Duntsch is willing to cut.

【這個(gè)版本的鄧特就是惡毒的利用者】

The flashbacks present a man who somehow thought he could push through any adversity. That’s one thing when you’re repeatedly getting a play wrong in a football practice, and quite another when you’re incapable of performing the spinal surgeries that you’ve promised your patients. And yet “Dr. Death” smartly never resorts to humanizing Duntsch, who sees his mistakes as mere common malpractice all the way up to the end. What’s so disturbing about this case is the idea, raised a few times here, that Duntsch must have known what he was doing in a few instances. Is it possible he was a literal sociopath and maimed his patients on purpose? Dr. Henderson sure seems to think so as he explains how the violence from Duntsch’s surgeries would be hard to call accidental. It sounds like even someone who had never performed a surgery would know that they were doing something very wrong. Did Duntsch? Did he just not care? We'll never know, and "Dr. Death" wisely only hints at these darker themes instead of turning into melodrama. It makes them all the more terrifying.

【閃回中的橄欖球訓練，就像以后一次次的手術(shù)，鄧特以為他能推開(kāi)各種阻礙。然而一次一次犯錯，球賽中和手術(shù)臺上所造成的后果完全不一樣。這段又用wisely形容這部劇?！?/p>

The generally underrated Joshua Jackson carries “Dr. Death” with a fascinating blend of idiotic confidence and nonchalant sociopathology. He nails the ego that often hides incompetence, embodying a person who thinks he can merely work around inadequacy. We’ve all met men like Chris Duntsch—people that think if they tell themselves that they can change the world that it will somehow be true. What separates this story is that most of those people get shot down before they can do real harm, but Duntsch was enabled again and again. There’s a fascinating undercurrent to “Dr. Death” that reminded me of “Spotlight,” another story of vile predators who were moved around a broken system instead of brought to justice. Duntsch was allowed to perform dozens of life-changing bad surgeries and even killed a couple people before upstanding fellow surgeons took him down.

【Joshua Jackson這個(gè)演員確實(shí)不錯。這部劇讓劇評作者聯(lián)想到《聚焦》，都是在潰爛的體制中橫行的惡魔?！?/p>

The whole cast matches Jackson’s nuance, especially Slater and Baldwin. It’s particularly rewarding to see the latter get a subtle, complex role for the first time in what feels like a long time—there’s a quiet fury and professional disgust to his performance that’s admirable. And Slater balances him nicely with a more brash, outgoing performance so the two don’t feel like the same character. Robb is definitely good, but I’ll admit to liking the first half of the season more when Baldwin/Slater were driving the investigation instead of the legal hotshot. The transition leads to a bit of a drag in the middle of the season and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the fat suit prosthetics that Jackson is forced to act through in the last couple episodes, which are a drastic misfire. Each episode opens with the disclaimer that some of the truth has been bent, and I get that the fat suit is meant to further represent Duntsch’s decline, but it’s just distracting.

【其他演員也相當優(yōu)秀?？吹降诹胖肋@里的“fat suit”是什么意思，鄧特開(kāi)始發(fā)胖了，所以演員穿了fat suit，象征著(zhù)鄧特“光輝歲月”的終結，但劇評作者不太喜歡這個(gè)安排，讓他出戲，我覺(jué)得還好啦。另外說(shuō)明一點(diǎn)的是，戒酒的人血糖會(huì )低，所以他們都會(huì )大量吃糖或巧克力等補充糖分。第六集鄧特在爸爸家里喝咖啡瘋狂放糖?！?/p>

Finally, it’s important to note that “Dr. Death” never feels sensational or exploitative, expressing the empathy for Duntsch’s victims he so clearly lacked. It’s ultimately a castigation of a system that values profits over professionalism, and tells young upstarts like Duntsch that they'll be the faces of a medical revolution before asking if the person with the scalpel is at all capable of leading the way.

【還是，動(dòng)手術(shù)前想想拿刀的人是誰(shuí)?！?/p>

寫(xiě)完了，最后兩集還沒(méi)更新，繼續等~~

第七集，手術(shù)服褲子上的洞原來(lái)是這么來(lái)的~~

科比和亨德森兩個(gè)醫生性格互補，一個(gè)沉穩，一個(gè)外向略暴躁?？票仍谏钌喜痪行」?，之前某集把腳丫蹺到亨德森的辦公桌上；這集又瞎說(shuō)俄語(yǔ)，“達斯維達尼亞”是再見(jiàn)的意思，他用來(lái)打招呼。哈哈哈哈，太可愛(ài)了。

兩個(gè)好醫生都襯托了鄧奇的惡。亨德森說(shuō)過(guò)，失去過(guò)一個(gè)患者，一直讓他耿耿于懷，庭審時(shí)也說(shuō)他哪怕有過(guò)鄧奇33例手術(shù)中的一例結果，也不會(huì )再進(jìn)手術(shù)室?？票入m然生活中大大咧咧，但專(zhuān)業(yè)上極認真。正是有這樣的好醫生，我們才能放心地去海灘，哦不是，去醫院看病，信任醫生。

其他配角也都映襯了男主，聽(tīng)完鄧奇說(shuō)話(huà)之后覺(jué)得每個(gè)人說(shuō)話(huà)都非常讓人舒服。甚至他的律師，思維和談吐都遠遠好過(guò)鄧奇本人，能想到把責任推到大學(xué)和各級培訓醫院，也是相當敬業(yè)的律師。而舒加特這一方贏(yíng)得坦蕩蕩，沒(méi)有使詐。特別喜歡法庭戲上他們用排比句。亨德森背誦希波克拉底誓言一段太熱血了。

Kim拿槍逼退鄧奇的樣子簡(jiǎn)直太帥了。廣大年輕女孩應該以此為榜樣，正確面對感情中的失敗，遇上人渣不是你們的錯，果斷離開(kāi)是正確選擇。生命太短，容不得猶豫和反復。提高生命效率啊朋友們！

杰瑞-薩默斯就執迷不悟，是Kim的對比。

人物包括每個(gè)患者及家屬都各有特色，雖然角色也不少，但看完以后都歷歷在目的感覺(jué)。Beyer夫人出場(chǎng)時(shí)我還記得她第一次說(shuō)自己名字的發(fā)音，“象那種動(dòng)物”。去世的Brennan夫人，受傷僅僅是裝飾圣誕樹(shù)時(shí)腳下的一個(gè)不穩。每個(gè)角色都塑造得很成功。

保護患者，健全體制。

任重而道遠。
