Ryan Murphy has had a hand in creating a string of very successful shows over the years. His new Doctor Odyssey show has been sandwiched between two very popular ABC shows, 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy. Is Doctor Odyssey sure to be a hit, or could it still flop? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A medical drama series, the Doctor Odyssey TV show was created by Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken. The series stars Joshua Jackson, Don Johnson, Phillipa Soo, and Sean Teale. In the story, Dr. Max Bankman (Jackson) is the new on-board doctor for a luxury cruise ship. On board, Captain Robert Massey (Johnson) and his staff work hard and play even harder. It’s all-hands-on-deck as Max and his small but mighty medical team — Nurse Avery Morgan (Soo) and Nurse Tristan Silva (Teale) — navigate unique medical crises and each other, miles from shore. Guests in the first season include Shania Twain, John Stamos, Gina Gershon, Kelsea Ballerini, Chord Overstreet, Cheyenne Jackson, Laura Harrier, and Justin Jedlica.
Nielsen Ratings
The Nielsen ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart is updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Doctor Odyssey TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Please renew Doctor Odyssey. I love the show, but I feel there needs to be more medical content and other crisis. The entire thing with Max, Avery and Tristan’s drama was too much. Also, Shania Twain in NO actress and I can’t focus on the show when she is in the cast due to her ill fitting teeth and poor acting. I would like to see how another season works out. Also, the thing with Max’s twin brother wasn’t very entertaining.
I have enjoyed every episode of this show. This is entertaining every time and has a great way of incorporating all the many emotions.I would be very disappointed and frustrated not to have this to look forward to on Thursday nights . Please please renew this great show.
I enjoy this show, I love that it’s a medical show on a ship. I am a fan of Grey’s Anatomy and Saving hope, so it’s not just the regular hospital setting, which I really like. It’s different. So I really hope they keep it around.
I love this show! Takes me back to The Love Boat, but more modern storylines. I watch on my DVR when I can. Never usually the same day, but at some point during the weekend.
I love the show! Great way to escape with really different story lines! Love love the main characters!!!
I just started watching Dr Odyssey and I’m hooked! I have binged watched in 2 days. Please renew!!
The show good why have a baby he going raise it on the ship thars nuts
I think some new writers would help. Some of the episodes were good, but some we’re just silly, and lost interest in some. But I wouldn’t cry, however it just needs to be a little more serious than some of the other episodes. The Quacker was really stupid!
I agree, the Quacker ep was almost unwatchable. So far my favorite ep was the Halloween one when they rescued a woman stuck in a sea cave. The last 2 episodes were much more serious. I think that is the future of this drama. No more silliness.
I made it thru episode 3 and quit. Absolutely awful
We’ve watched every episode, thought it was a bit cheesy but I’m sending some greater and overarching story that is going to blow peoples minds. I don’t want to give anything away (there is plenty of buzz on the internet if you look for it) but knowing that “this” might be what’s happening, completely changes the show. Give it a shot and I truly think you will be surprised with this will end up…
I have always been a fan of Don Johnson (Miami Vice and Nash Bridges) and frankly that is why I even watched this show in the first place. It started out pretty good but in good ole’ ABC/Disney fashion of writers, they have to throw in the “agenda” type of story lines and it’s completely turned us off to the show so as a result we won’t be watching anymore. The three-some episode, the gay cruise, etc is just not needed if you can actually write a good show. Sad for Don Johnson and I’m actually surprised that he went… Read more »
Please renewed season 2 big fan Don Johnson drama Miami Vice, Nash Bridges both my favorite drama. So different others please renewed 2 .
It is a shame. Ya got the good actors and the story is more shock value every show. Come on you can do better of a story then the 3 some. Shock value equals canceled. The Old Love Boat was so better.
Horrible tripe!
