Based on a True Story
Christopher Duntsch was (past tense) a.practising neurosurgeon in Dallas, Texas, and he was sentenced on February 20, 2017, to life in prison for gross malpractice resulting in the maiming of several patients' spines and killing two of them while working at hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
I don't know how the producers acquired so many A-Lister stars to agree to star in the TV series but my guess is they have all been (in)directly affected by a past surgery that once went wrong, or know someone close to them that have been maimed/died on the operating table.
For any IMDB reviewers who criticize the series for not being accurate just remember that each episode is only approximately 42 minutes long, and unfortunately Dr. Duntsch's actual surgeries were prolonged and very painful for his victims. Not everyone skydives successfully and sometimes surgeons were not meant to be surgeons either.
I look forward to watching future episodes to see how some of the hospital administrative bureaucrats try and cover up their own part in allowing Christopher Duntsch to continue surgeries at their respective hospitals, I give the series a highly rated 9 out of 10 IMDB rating.
