Excellent documentary, but I want more information.

This documentary is so well-done and seeing the in-depth coverage of the damage he did to people and families, and the efforts to stop Duntsch and hold him accountable for what he had done, kept me interested from start to finish. We binge-watched all four episodes.

However, I kept hoping they would get to Duntsch's years in college and Fellowship. How was this guy sent out into the world from an acclaimed medical school and Fellowship program, as the newest rising star in Neurosurgery, some kind of prodigal son, if he didn't know the first thing about the most simple of neurosurgeries?

I would love to see another documentary covering his education to find out how this happened. Or at least some explanation. It seems like someone in the Fellowship program at the very least, would have cottoned on to this guy's complete inability to understand the most basic duties of his career choice.

And he must've done very well in class, scoring high in testing or whatever they call it in med school, in order to get into such a prestigious Fellowship. How the hell did he test so high? Was someone filling in for him? Selling him the answers? Did he have a doppelgänger who was a medical savant? What?!

I would really like to hear about that and I kept hoping they'd cover more of his education. They did confirm that he was there in Tennessee when the one doctor called to make sure he even was Duntsch, because this guy was so flabbergasted that he could've made it thru medical school after seeing just one of the surgeries this guy botched.

I'm not complaining about this documentary at all. It was very good. And they covered a lot of ground. I would also like to see more about the years before he actually came to Texas and began maiming and killing patients, who were just looking for some relief from their chronic pain. Get the whole story, so-to-speak.
