There’s a scene in the middle of this episode featuring four people in a dark room on a phone call with someone half a world away, unable to do anything but listen, that hits home for each of them, and for the audience, as frenzy of uncertainty gives way to finality and leaves Dan Chase with only regret and revenge.

Doctor Odyssey - Singles Week

With it’s second episode Doctor Odyssey already seems to have found its formula. We get a themed cruised, this week being a singles cruise, with a story outside of the expected thrown in and still time to play with the romantic interests of Max (Joshua Jackson), Avery (Phillipa Soo), and Tristan (Sean Teale). While I’m already tired of the love triangle, the rest of the episode works fairly well with a gigolo’s (Chord Overstreet) Syphilis outbreak providing the humor and the rescue of a survivor on a life raft (Kassandra Cruz) providing the drama. The Captain (Don Johnson) also gets a bit more to do in his romance with one of the passengers and a health scare. Like with Avery’s experience with the rescued woman, the Captain’s story allows for an opportunity to flesh out his character a bit more as well.
