Season 4 missed the mark.

love listening to this

I enjoyed season 4, but I won’t recommend this podcast until more seasons become available to me. I think that only bonus/auxiliary episodes should require a paid subscription. I generally don’t mind ads.

Great storytelling!
Carrie-May via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/24/24
I actually really enjoyed season 4. What a fascinating story and deeply troubling for ethics that so many people completely ignored the major red flags. Also the fact that he was an actual magician was darkly funny. My issue is that Wondery seems to not realize the deep irony of putting ads for...Read full review »

Thanks for this enlightening podcast. Sounds like another Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos copy cat. 😩 The same old but wise adage: “If it sounds to good to be true, then it’s not true.” Then, asking the next question, “Can AI really help in medicine?”

Seasons 1-3 are great, season 4 however is terrible. It’s not really even about a doctor, it’s a financial scam that could have been covered in one 25 minute episode. Season 4 was boring, confusing and a waste of time.

I enjoyed the 1st 3 seasons bit season 4 was painfully boring. This one was a miss.

This podcast has progressively gone down hill with each season. The two seasons was an in-depth medical malpractice story. The third season was romance con with a touch of surface medical malpractice subplot. The fourth is all about a conman with a guest appearance my medical malpractice. I...Read full review »

Loved the first 3 seasons but this one was uninteresting and confusing with too many characters and tangents. Won’t recommend it to my fellow listeners.

Compared to the first 3 Dr Deaths, this 4th season was beyond disappointing. Hardly a “Dr” and a truly boring story that should have been one episode.
jisatx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/24
Really enjoyed all 4 seasons. Laura you’re a great podcaster!
MariTheMonster96 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/24
Season one - brilliant. Season two - also very good. Season three - don’t know, have to pay for it and I don’t want to. Season four - pretty good but way too many ads. Not even a selection of ads - just the same ones every episode. Dull, repetitive and annoying. Totally spoil what is a good and...Read full review »

Stretched out with a bunch of ads. Could have been an email. No thanks

I was looking forward to this, because I loved the first 3 seasons. This one just kinda missed the mark. It seems like it has the potential to be a great story, but by the end I was confused & it was anticlimactic. I thought maybe it was just my ADHD & short term memory issues (since I...Read full review »

Nope. Horrible, really missed the mark
Teon77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/24
Excellent reporting, and very interesting podcast series. Can’t wait until the next one! And, of course, love Laura!
Kmf724 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/24
I’ve followed Dr. Death from season 1 before all the buzz, Netflix documentaries, Amazon Prime dramatizations and have to say that the first 4 seasons were very good. I’m was excited to listen to this season, but with only 30min per episode (with ads) for 5 episodes I really feel they didn’t do...Read full review »
TEA1989PHDMD via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/17/24
I’m finding this season particularly confusing. There are a lot of people/names involved and a lot of jumping around back and forth between different cities and victims. A new episode with start in a new city and a new victim and I don’t know what happened to the last guy in the last episode? Not...Read full review »

Great podcast! Looking forward to listening to the next season!
Tangle70 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
Season one and two were incredibly well done. Season 4 missed the mark in so many ways. I didn’t know how to rate it because the first two seasons were perfection. Season 4 may not deserve 2 stars.
ghrifhebs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
Intersting and well researched. 1/3 of each episode is adds and sponsored though that ruins the ‘atmosphere’!
Itsallabout via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/12/24
I’ve enjoyed all seasons of this podcast. Laura has a great voice and easy to listen to. The Drs investigated are horrible people and I’m glad they’re talked about.
crime cara via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
I love the dr death series and the first three ones were amazing and I was waiting for this one so bad!!!! I get lost in this story, I find it hard to follow and disorganized. Half of the time I don’t understand how everything is related. Jumps from one thing to another. Nothing like the other...Read full review »

Eh
Season 1 was amazing but everything else that followed has been rapidly diminishing in quality
bukkazi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/24
Actually, I don't think I'll stick around to find out. The first two seasons were fantastic, third season not bad, but this one is a HUGE disappointment. First off, the "doctor" is not actually even a doctor. He's a con man whose closest thing to being a Dr. Death is that he...Read full review »

The first 3 seasons were awesome. I couldn’t get past episode 2 of this new 4th season. When it’s about people being victimized because they refused to pay attention to the HUGE red flags…they are responsible for their own victimization and glaring lack of due diligence.
Lorraine Genco via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/24
No thanks!!!
TfromtheSAV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/24
Really wanted to like this season but the episodes were short and full of ads. At one point almost 3 minutes of ads had played before the show started up again. Episode one was the most interesting, the rest were EH.
aab8709 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
I loved seasons 1 and 2. My rating has to do with Season 3. I cannot tell you how much I DO NOT care about the woman in the third season. She’s upset about missing a wedding, meanwhile this surgeon killed people. The imbalanced focus on her story is actually offensive to the victims of this...Read full review »
Nunya4584 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
This story could have been told in one 1.5-2 hour podcast. Instead, they’re drawing it out to make it seem more interesting than it is. With commercials, each episode is about 15 mins long and completely disjointed from previous episodes. I have no interest in hearing more about the main...Read full review »

I love the first couple of seasons and was excited for this one, but really struggled to get into it and found it wasn’t able to capture me as well as the first ones. Perhaps the next season will be better!
christineh216 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
Interesting story, but hard to keep up with so many threads in such short time.
losteningqueen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
Season 4 is an Interesting crime series, that does not involve a true physician. It is misleading. At best it is a story about greed, about human nature and how we respond to desperation. However, the Serhat was never a doctor.
kdhebxhes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/24
I do love this podcast & have listened to all of the seasons however S4 was way too short!
littlemisshorrornerd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
My favorite of Wondery’s hosts. Very informative and delivered the information in a well written timeline. The story itself is fascinating and tragic. I hate waiting for the episodes to be released but the story is gripping!
crewsn811 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
It’s a very good podcast but the ads just sometimes come on the best parts and I don’t want to pay for the ad free
👏🏼💐 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/31/24
I understand the podcast industry has taken a hit and you should be paid for your work. But paywalling most of a season is extremely annoying. The new season seems to be available to us plebs but the episodes are short and 50% ads. Wondry must be making a mint off these shows, I can’t imagine...Read full review »

Nonetheless, best Podcast in the Podcast Universe. I wish the reporter would have gone deeper into the science this evil man was selling, and the crazy remedies he concocted.
Cosette1231 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/24
All wondery podcasts require subscriptions. If that’s the case just make the first episode subscription only. Bye wondery.
dalililylama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/24
But this one, so far, seems extra biased. This Dr. seems very interesting actually. Unconventional, and the magic habits and “New Age” beliefs aren’t weird to me. Nor do they detract from his medical accomplishments.
Pikostar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/24
Too much laughing in season 4
Mae Har via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/24
You lost me at drag, then the whole HIV thing made sense… better luck next season.
DylanOnTheMoon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/24
The first 3 seasons were captivating, but I have to wonder about the investigative journalism, when I realized season 4 didn’t uncover the real “Dr. Death” of the AIDS crisis, Anthony Fauci. Start digging into that. Here’s a hint: you won’t find it on Google, it’s been scrubbed.
Wackyjendy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/26/24
First and second season were amazing 3rd just felt more like it was about the other journalist rather than the doctor
Deoo1997 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/24
I like it but you have to pay. Free for me though because my mom payed for it. Lol

Jessica Rabbit wannabe makes my head hurt. I’ll wait for the television documentary.
