Fabulous Films have released Series 2 of Dr Death on DVD.
Season Two of Dr. Death, based on the hit Wondery podcast, follows the real-life story of Italian surgeon Paolo Macchiarini, a “Miracle Man” once seen as pioneering transplant surgeon, who performed experimental surgeries on his patients without their consent.
Macchiarini was the subject of Season 3 of the Dr Death podcast but is season two of the TV series. Both series have performed well on Rotten Tomatoes (averaging 93% and 80% Tomatometer ratings respectively).
