The Hollywood Reporter: “The actor, who leads the cruise ship-set medical drama, says he was looking for a project that, despite the medical emergencies, was lighter than his recent work and "ended up in a positive place.”
The Guardian: “This bonkers show about on-board doctors who have to fix penile fractures and outbreaks of venereal disease is hilariously bad – and yet somehow, Joshua Jackson pulls it off. What a miracle worker.”
Deadline: “Ryan Murphy‘s latest procedural set sail on ABC last week and, so far, the premiere episode has tallied 13.6M cross-platform viewers in its first week, Disney says. That’s an impressive 230% increase over the episode’s live + same-day audience of 4.13M.”
The Daily Beast: “Millennials nostalgic for their teen crushes are thriving. First Josh Hartnett starred in “Trap.” Then Adam Brody made us all swoon in “Nobody Wants This.” Now it’s Jackson’s turn.”
Rotten Tomatoes: “‘Doctor Odyssey’ is a 63% on Rotten Tomatoes”
Deadline: “Ryan Murphy‘s new ABC medical drama Doctor Odyssey starring Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson is headed for the record books with its trailer logging 77.8 million views within its first 48 hours of release. The total makes this the most-watched trailer for a new broadcast TV show ever. The prior record was held by This Is Us, which amassed a similar total over its first 11 days. The NBC series went on to have a very successful six-season run.”

Role: Actor (Lead)
A wildly experimental and inventive new play that does not behave. Playwright Alice Birch has put together a grouping of vignettes that ask how to revolutionize language, relationships, work, and life in general while bursting at the seams of conformity.

Talking Broadway: “Passionately performed, directed and written, InnerMission's first show of the 2018-2019 season is nothing short of bold. Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again. defies the rules of conventional theatre.”
