‘Doctor Odyssey' Is a Dream Boat Doctor fantasy
'Doctor Odyssey' finishes its first season on Thursday at 9 p.m., on ABC, and as of press time it still hasn't been renewed (nor has it been officially canceled). My candles are lit; my fingers are crossed. I love this stupid — so stupid, oh God, stupid, stupid — show. The season thus far is available on Hulu. Joshua Jackson stars as Dr. Max Bankman, the doctor for the luxury cruise ship the Odyssey. He works closely — extremely closely — with Avery (Phillipa Soo), a nurse practitioner who wants to go to medical school, and Tristan (Sean Teale), a nurse. 'Love triangle' is too quaint a term, but 'throuple' is too resolved. Both men are in love with Avery, though neither holds her full attention. In the sixth episode, prompted by a nourishing goal-setting exercise, they have a steamy, adoring and mutually enjoyable threesome. In fandom parlance, 'shippers' are viewers who want the characters to get into a romantic relationship. And oh, 'Doctor Odyssey' has plenty of ship. I'm old enough to remember when a time when a devil's threesome on network television would have been on the news. But here on the high seas, everyone is so sexually liberated that the show loops back around to being wholesome. Sexy, sure. Dirty, no. 'Odyssey' operates like 'The Love Boat' in that each episode features new guests to both the ship and the show. Each cruise has some kind of theme, which inevitably leads to a series of medical crises, at which point our heroes take a brief break from all the sexual bliss and hobnobbing to save some lives. All the medical instruments and machinery are in a brushed gold instead of stainless steel because intravenous poles deserve glam, too. The show was created by Jon Robin Baitz, Joe Baken and Ryan Murphy, and 'Odyssey' feels like a lot of other Ryan Murphy shows, most especially 'Nip/Tuck,' the lush, bonkers plastic surgery drama that ran from 2003-2010. But where that show was framed by the recurring prompt 'Tell me what you don't like about yourself,' 'Odyssey' is a bacchanalia of self love, of acceptance, of validation. It can feel as if 'Nip' got a gentle-parenting glow-up, its luridness revised for the more empowered, enlightened standards of today. 'Odyssey' is in some ways the inside-out version of 'The Pitt' (streaming on Max), TV's buzziest doctor show. Jackson's Max and Noah Wyle's Dr. Robby are both brilliant and ethical leaders with high standards. They are both haunted by their experiences at the beginning of the pandemic, Robby by his mentor's death and Max by the fact that he was among Covid's earliest patients — he was hospitalized and in a coma, near death. Both Max and Robby cope admirably with a partner's reproductive choices. Both shows indulge in a bit of medical gore, and both use a sense of 'Oh no, we don't have the resources we need' to intensify the drama. In 'The Pitt,' it's for budgetary reasons; in 'Odyssey,' it's because they're at sea. But 'Odyssey' is only sort of a doctor show. It is better understood as a fantasy, and not just because of fan theories that the whole show is Max's Covid hallucination, or that the characters are all in purgatory or some such. This is a show where a straight(ish) man's No. 1 fantasy is monogamous marriage and child rearing, and not only is he a doctor and former Peace Corps volunteer, he is also always wearing an all-white naval uniform. He loves reality television and sees depth and significance in it, not just mindless fun. He loves teamwork. He once broke his penis — on account of its being so big and the lovemaking so vigorous — but 'the body is a miraculous healing machine,' he says, and the experience even made him a better doctor. He entices patients to shed their hypocrisies and walk in the light. He emerged from the pandemic as more caring, more joyful, more attuned to the world, more open. Even BookTok romances don't go this hard. And he's not the only, er, dream boat. The ship's captain (Don Johnson) tells Max that the Odyssey is 'heaven' for its passengers. That's true beyond the snazzy vacation of it all because the themed cruises also mean the characters are among their people, the like-minded folks who share their obsession with, say, little rubber duckies, wellness nonsense or May-December romances. The various liars and grifters always admit defeat, and on the rare occasions that someone dies, you always get ample warning through corny slow songs and gentle, predictable character beats. Much of the fun in 'Doctor Odyssey' comes from its guest stars, who this season have included Kate Berlant, Bob the Drag Queen, Margaret Cho, Gina Gershon, Cheyenne Jackson, Margo Martindale, Fred Melamed, Amy Sedaris, John Stamos and Shania Twain (who recurs), among many many others. Everything is done in good fun and usually in gay rococo fun. The only true ailment here is shame, and Max and Co. have so many ways to treat and alleviate it. All the sex here is free of danger, coercion or violence, and all forms of love are studied and treasured. I have no idea what's coming in the finale, and while some fans are anticipating a twist, I think 'twist' requires a kind of torsion the show is not capable of because it isn't anchored to being any one thing. It's already dopey and dreamy and diffuse, whatever plane of existence it's on. It's the beauty of being at sea: You can head off in any direction.

Why Joshua Jackson Is Comparing His ‘Dawson's Creek' Audition to ‘The Hunger Games'
Joshua Jackson's audition for Dawson's Creek was a competition, to say the least. During a recent appearance on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's on Me podcast, the Doctor Odyssey actor recalled auditioning for the hit drama series, comparing it to The Hunger Games.

Fires 'I think I had, like, nine auditions,' he said. 'I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey,' before ultimately landing the role of teen heartthrob Pacey Witter. James Van Der Beek ended up playing Dawson. However, it was the final audition when Jackson said things got a bit odd. 'They take you to the Warner Brothers Ranch. I don't even know if this place exists anymore,' Jackson recalled. 'And the WB had this Quonset hut basically off on the side. And when you walk in, there's a giant gong and a woman at the desk whose job it is to say, 'W, W, WB,' every time she answers the phone,' imitating the network's famed jingle. 'I shit you not,' The Affair actor continued. 'And in that room are 35 potential kids who are now put into this Hunger Games moment. And you spend literally the entire day getting called in groups.' He recalled groups of two and four going into the back to audition, 'and then, you come out and four people are just gone. And then two people are gone.' Jackson remembered being there for 'an entire day, until the sun goes down.' But once the final cut of auditions rolled around, he said he was in washroom at the time and heard the gong go off. 'I come out of the toilet, and now every executive from the WB has come from every office everywhere and is just standing there staring at me and James and Katie [Holmes] and Michelle [Williams] as we're like, 'Oh, this is where they eat us, I guess,'' he quipped. But they actually told the four young actors, 'Congratulations. You just got the job.' Jackson said he didn't even know 'which role it was' that he landed initially, adding that it was 'uncomfortable' just standing in the room. 'That's how they used to do their castings,' he explained. 'If you hit the gong, everybody has to scurry out of the office to get whatever the news is, and I would like to think that at some point, somebody there was like, 'This is not great. This is weird.'' Dawson's Creek, which ran for six seasons from 1998-2003, followed a group of friends navigating their teen years and early adulthood in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts. Jackson added that once he was cast in the show, 'I was astonishingly appreciative of the paycheck and the change that that made in my life. You know, I always enjoyed acting and performing and so I was also astonished that I was like, 'Hey, I can do this. I'm being allowed to do this every day.''

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith Face New Showdown Over Their Daughter in Divorce Battle
Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have hit another roadblock in their ongoing divorce proceedings. The exes, who were married from 2019 to 2023, are reportedly facing a new court showdown amid their divorce battle, as they seemingly can't agree on where to send their 5-year-old daughter to school. According to docs obtained by TMZ, the pair are on the same page when it comes to most of their terms, but Jackson, 46, won't budge on their daughter's elementary school. As a result, Turner-Smith, 38, reportedly wants the judge to force Jackson into adhering to a court order that gives her the power to pick their child's place of education. In docs reportedly filed by her attorney, Laura Wasser, the actress said she wants their daughter to move to a new school next year, but Jackson isn't onboard. She claimed she researched the new school, conferred with him about it and made sure it was close enough to his home — but he's still reportedly refusing to agree to a switch-up. Us Weekly has reached out to both parties for comment. Jodie Turner-Smith Accuses Joshua Jackson of Demanding Sole Legal Custody of Their Daughter According to the legal docs, Jackson and Turner-Smith used a mediator to come up with a temporary schedule to govern the 50-50 custody of their daughter. He will allegedly pay $2,787 a month in child support with no monthly spousal support, as they settled on a lump sum. She is also asking Jackson to pay $75,000 for her attorney fees related to the school battle. Jackson recently spoke about his 'important' role as a father in an April 22 interview with Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his 'Dinner's on Me' podcast. "If I ever did anything to estrange my daughter from myself, I would be in duress," Jackson said. "I actually can't conceive of it because I don't even wanna think of the pain that that would be." The Doctor Odyssey star continued: "Regardless of how messy the divorce is, beautiful the divorce is, easy [or] hard the co-parenting is ... I think this generation of dads is understanding, like, 'I need to be here. It's gonna be hard, but this is important, and I've got to do this.' It's my job — shared with my ex-wife — to do everything that we can to nurture you, cultivate you and give you all the tools that you need in life." Jodie Turner-Smith Claims Estranged Husband Joshua Jackson Hasn't Paid Child Support Amid Divorce Turner-Smith also recently praised her daughter ahead of her kindergarten year. "She's just blossoming into such an intelligent, young, bossy, little one," she told E! News in March. "I mean, she's been reading since she was 3, so she already hit that milestone. I mean, she's about to go to kindergarten. I mean, that's a big milestone." The Queen & Slim actress added that although it's exciting to see her daughter grow up, it's also a bittersweet feeling. "I kind of want to cry," she said, "but I'm also very excited for her growing up, because I just need to get to hang out together more."
