9 stars for exposing this story.

This is a story about a man who is a sociopath, a highly skilled con man, who is also a surgeon. He has delusion of grandeur and his arrogance is off the scale. To summarize this all - he is mentally deviated.

Now, the main question is how his fellow surgeons and assistants and nurses and other staff had remained oblivious of the true nature of his surgeries. Not a word is said about stem cell collection and its subsequent application to the plastic tracheas. Stem cells collection is not a simple process. So was it done or not? Documentary is silent about it. That is why it is unclear how the entire team of medical professionals at Karolinska (and in Russia) went along with assisting the implantation of plastic tubes, as if they were operating on dummies, not living and breathing human beings. I refuse to believe they didn't know what was happening.

As for the women, nothing is new here.

Okay, it is 2023 and the series were made 20 years ago. A LOT has changed since 2005 and I miss the time when smartphones didn't exist yet and flip-phones were used for a ACTUAL phones calls. Person to person communication was normal. People were reading books, newpapers were delivered to your door step and kids at schools weren't zombified by smartphone screens. Gay people weren't pushing their orientation into your face, black people weren't behaving as if they were forever victims, people were buried instead of cremated, ... I realize life was not perfect back then, yet it was normal. AND I MISS THAT! Why else I keep watching these series? There is nothing else on Netflix that is not violence, crime, murder, end of the world, broken relationships, and never ending wars..

A friend of mine had recommended these series. She said it is a must watch. I tried to like it, but wasn't impressed at all. Poor acting. Jumping camera as if it was hand held. Parents behave really weird. The pregnant neighbor character is quite odd and adds nothing to the story. If not for the "bad boy" character there is nothing to watch (but others like neither his character nor the acting). Well there is at lease some of his character development. Too many F words flying around. Why? In other words everything sort of feels fake, unnatural, under the circumstances, including behaviour and emotions.
