If you're after a fresh show to give you nightmares, look no further than Dr. Death. It may not technically fall into the horror genre, but the fact that it's based on true events makes it absolutely terrifying.

The debut season of Dr. Death stars Joshua Jackson as Christopher Duntsch, an arrogant doctor who doesn't pay particular regard to the Hippocratic Oath. Charismatic yet sinister, Duntsch is seen as a rising star in the Dallas medical community until several patients who go in for procedures unexpectedly end up dead or seriously injured. As it becomes apparent that the doctor is a sociopath, it's up to 2 fellow surgeons and a prosecutor to stop him.

The series boasts unsettling performances. Even if you know how the story ends, getting there is worth the time investment. Just don't binge it if you have any doctor's appointments coming up.
