Like the podcast, the series seeks to answer the "why" behind Duntsch's crimes, while peeling back the layers of the broken healthcare system that enabled him to slip through the cracks.
At the Tribeca premiere of the series on Monday, Jackson said of his character, "He's just a phenomenally awful, fascinating human being, Dr.Slater, who recently starred in another true crime show, Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story, said that series such as these offer a chance at some introspection."I think the great thing about getting to tell this story over eight episodes is we get to delve so deeply into the minds of these types of people," he said.
Death features an all-female directing team that includes Maggie Kiley (Dirty John: The Betty Broderick Story, Riverdale), Jennifer Morrison (One of Us Is Lying, Euphoria) and So Yong Kim (Lovesong, Grand Army).
