Daily Wire teams up with noted psychologist Jordan B. Peterson in this 5-part series that explores just what it takes to be a good parent.
Come aboard the Odyssey, our top-of-the-line cruise ship! For the next week, relax, enjoy yourself and eat all you’d like! Your wish is our command.
Oh, but what if you eat a little too much shrimp and give yourself iodine poisoning? Well, not to worry, you’ll just take a quick trip down to our medical bay, and our lovely staff down there will do everything in their power to make sure your vacation on our little slice of tropical heaven doesn’t have to end prematurely.
Be sure to say a friendly “hello” to nurses Avery and Tristan, who’ve been sailing with us for years! Led by the newly hired (and probably overqualified) Dr. Max Bankman, there’s no injury, disease or predicament you could bring through their doors that they can’t fix!
I do have to warn you, however, that if you stay too long in Max’s vicinity, and you might just gain an injury: a broken heart.
Hulu’s newest medical drama, Doctor Odyssey, stars a small cast aboard a luxury cruise ship. But if you were sailing these seas, you might be better off picking a different cruise line.
Sure, Max, Avery and Tristan will tend to your injury, however serious it may be. After all, they’re tasked with making sure whatever pain you’re experiencing won’t detract from your overall experience. But they may also bicker amongst themselves while operating on you.
That’s because this medical drama comes with a hefty emphasis on drama, especially when romantic tensions rise between the main characters. The cruise may sail through the Bermuda Triangle, but this show is far more focused on its love triangle, as Max and Tristan both harbor affection for Avery. And if the first episode is anything to go on, those affections are quick to cause frequent sexual remarks (and sometimes, actions) among all three.
Doctor Odyssey may not be the worst medical drama put to screen, but this cruise liner spends way too much time fixating on all things related to sex to stay afloat.

Dr. Max Bankman joins the medical team aboard the Odyssey, but his smooth moves make Tristan concerned that he may woo Avery.
The medical team has to operate on a man’s genitals after having rough sex. Max describes how the incident likely happened, and we see a brief scene depicting the sex act (though nothing is shown). Max likewise states that the same thing happened to him, and he brags about the size of his genitals in front of two women. Later, Avery asks about Max’s anatomy. Avery also provides a therapist who can help the couple find “pleasure centers” in order to continue their sexual relationship while the man is healing.
Max and Avery passionately kiss while on top of each other. Another man and woman kiss, too. We hear a reference to Viagra and a sex toy. One man removes his clothes down to his underwear and prepares to have public sex with a woman. People wear swimsuits, and a few men are seen shirtless.
The medical team pop a man’s broken clavicle back in place. They also perform surgery on his windpipe, cutting an incision into his throat and opening the wound onscreen to operate. A man falls off the cruise ship and nearly drowns.
A couple gets high on ecstasy. People drink wine and margaritas. Tristan and Max take shots of liquor.
Capt. Robert describes his cruise ship as heaven and his medical staff as guardian angels. Max talks about praying when he learned he was patient zero for COVID-19 in the United States. Tristan calls someone “Judas” when he realizes he’s been betrayed.
A man vomits. Capt. Robert claims passengers should have “zero guilt on a pleasure cruise.”
God’s name is used in vain three times. “H—” is used five times, and “crap” is used once. Max calls Tristan a “tool.”
Kennedy Unthank studied journalism at the University of Missouri. He knew he wanted to write for a living when he won a contest for “best fantasy story” while in the 4th grade. What he didn’t know at the time, however, was that he was the only person to submit a story. Regardless, the seed was planted. Kennedy collects and plays board games in his free time, and he loves to talk about biblical apologetics. He thinks the ending of Lost “wasn’t that bad.”
