Doctor Odyssey was canceled in June, weeks after its first season ended, and now the star of the series is speaking out about ABC canceling the medical drama.
Joshua Jackson, Don Johnson, Phillipa Soo, and Sean Teale star in the series, which follows the crew of a luxury cruise ship. Jackson played Dr. Max Bankman, and he spoke about the series’ end after one season with People Magazine. He said the following:
“I’m always bummed out when a show gets canceled, and I really, really enjoyed the experience.
That was a really good group of people, and it was a really fun show. But this is a crazy and difficult business, and whatever the reasons were for them not wanting to move forward with it, they don’t actually tell us those things.
I’m going to miss the gang for sure.
I hope [the fans] got the same thing that we got out of it, which was that it was a beautiful, over-the-top kind of experience that was like nothing else on television, I don’t think.
I’m sad that we don’t get to go back and do it again. But I really enjoyed the time that we did get to do it.
They may make that show with somebody else. I have no idea what their plans are. They haven’t let me know, but I am not holding my breath that it’s coming back.”
What do you think? Did you enjoy Doctor Odyssey? Were you hoping for a second season?
I loved the show!! I hated to see it go. They always want our comments but never bring the show back. I’m very sad that they cancelled it.
Loved the show!! There were good story lines!! Too bad they don’t give them.a 2nd season
WAS WAY TOO SLICK
I am disappointed that the show has been cancelled. I do agree however, that the threesome was unnecessary and never fit the characters. The young woman was just not the type to have agreed to it. But it was fun to watch and the ship and surroundings were a treat for the eyes. The stories were interesting and topics current and on point. Sorry to see it go.
I loved it and like many others that get cancelled I’ll never understand! They should have at least had 2 seasons to see where Max and his love story developed!! I hate it was cancelled!!!
Good riddance! Once they showed the threesome, that was went the show went downhill and I stopped watching. That show was totally disgusting!
Being it back it was a excellent show am piss it got cancelled
I enjoyed it very much and wss looking forward to another sewson. They seem to cancel the good shows and keep the graph oneson.
Loved the show and was so disappointed it was canceled. With the ever-growing popularity of cruising, I would have thought the show would have a huge audience. Hope it won’t be long before Joshua Jackson finds a new gig on network TV.
Absolutely loved the show and can’t believe it was canceled! However, if the news of sexual harassment on set by the assistant props master was true, I guess that would explain it. Sure hope Joshua Jackson finds a new gig soon!
I only watched it to the end because I always finish something I start. I think the show was ridiculous and offensive. The subject line was just way off base. The three-way sex just didn’t cut it. I used to love Joshua Jackson and everything he was ever in until this. This was so beneath his acting ability. I don’t know what his real personality is and that’s why he liked it, but I think it was really bad acting. I am actually glad they cut it, but it had an ending, but it looked like the show runner knew… Read more »
I lived this show and was praying for a second season
Well. He$$. I did so enjoy the escape this show afforded me after a long day. I am disappointed ☹️
