Before to Doctor Odyssey: the seven best shows to stream this week
Billy Crystal is a child psychologist in a creepy thriller indebted to The Sixth Sense, plus Joshua Jackson plays a doctor on a luxury cruise ship in Ryan Murphy’s daft medical drama
Billy Crystal plays (reasonably convincingly) against type in this thriller, as child psychologist Eli, a man reeling from the suicide of his wife Lynn. When a mysterious, mute child appears on his doorstep with bloodied hands and an unblinking stare, Eli assumes he has dreamed him. But Noah (a creepy turn from Jacobi Jupe) is very real: he is equally drawn to Eli but is unable to explain the roots of his obvious trauma, which manifests in incredibly detailed drawings and episodes of jarring violence. The dialogue is clunky and feels indebted to horror totems The Exorcist and The Sixth Sense. But the intriguing central premise keeps it watchable.
