Doctor Odyssey Has Better Stories To Tell Than Be Stuck In An Unnecessary Love Drama

The Love Triangle Makes Doctor Odyssey Feel Like A Bad Soap Opera

With only 10 episodes under its swath , Doctor Odysseyhas introduced romancesfor every main fiber and laid the foundation to explore even more . However , just becauseDoctor Odysseycan have a new duad every episode does n’t meanDoctor Odysseyshould . The aesculapian adjective ’s greatest charm is its camp component , with the lightheaded themes and fun guest stars adding a stratum of levity to the pinch . Even ifDoctor Odysseydoesn’t need to lean into an upbeat tone , the gamey - octane deliverance and action - packed dangerous undertaking would benefit from not being weighed down by unnecessarily complex romanticism .

Just becauseDoctor Odysseycan have a Modern couple every installment does n’t meanDoctor Odysseyshould .

IfDoctor Odysseyis renewed for season 2 , the aesculapian drama needs to take a retentive , concentrated smell at the tenuous identity it has formed for itself in the first 10 episodes alone . All eccentric have flaws , butDoctor Odysseyshould have characters that do n’t forever controvert themselves . All procedurals have fight , butDoctor Odysseyshould give up its melodramatic plot line . All medical dramas have surgery , butDoctor Odysseyshould decide whether it ’s a grit - and - gore series or a patient - first programme . Doctor Odysseycan definitely still come through , but cutting its love triangle loose would be the best place to start .
