So glad I did not pay for early access; subpar to previous seasons

“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 the case justice.
We could have heard much more about how the physician was actually faking his data, a bit more about his background (besides learning magic tricks in Turkey) and the patients at his clinic who suffered (children with cancer, patients with HIV, etc). There was no deep drive or commentary from other physicians in terms of his clinical methods to obtain his “results” - and how this was non-evidence based/problematic.
It would have also been valuable to hear the voices of the victims (I understand that Jeffrey did not want to participate in the podcast), but this man harmed multiple people over the course of years and I’m sure the producers could have found others willing to speak out.
Lastly, a final episode on actual AIDS research and commentary by clinician-scientists who treat patients and do research within this area would have been valuable.
I feel as though listeners were shortchanged on details and depth of investigation - likely to reduce the cost of the podcast and because a documentary of some sort will follow (which is usually inferior to the podcast given time constraints and filming)
It makes me sad because I’ve loved the Dr. Death podcast. I’ll continue to listen but for myself as an MD it’s so so so incomplete compared to previous seasons. So glad did not pay for early access”
