In addition, after its first full day on Hulu Doctor Odyssey hit No. 1 on the Hulu Top 15 Today list and has remained on the list since then, along with creator Ryan Murphy’s other long-running hit series 9-1-1.
Doctor Odyssey is a procedural medical drama that puts an extra dollop of soap into its sex, scandals and secrets onboard a luxury cruise ship, where we are told the staff works hard, and plays harder.
The series stars Jackson (Fringe, Dr. Death) as Doctor Max, a capable new on-board doctor who commands a small but mighty medical team. Together they navigate unique medical crises — and each other — miles from shore.
Also starring are Phillipa Soo and Sean Teale.
Doctor Odyssey continues Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
