Doctor Love
Two true crime enthusiasts explore an old asylum case, digging up recordings, medical notes, and news clippings to discuss a patient's mystery illness and her doctor's infatuation with her. Daphne and Preston, the co-hosts of a true crime podcast, unearth the case of Doctor Love - psychiatrist Doctor Burnett - who, in the 1950s, kidnapped her patient - the previously unnamed Hazel - so they could run away together. They start by exploring the beginning of Doctor Burnett and Hazel’s time together, and Doctor Burnett trying to diagnose Hazel’s mysterious illness. As they continue meeting, Hazel and Doctor Burnett grow closer, eventually pursuing a romantic relationship in secret, with Daphne and Preston failing to interrogate the power dynamics involved. As Doctor Burnett and Hazel’s romance intensifies, their relationship is threatened by outside forces, and Daphne and Preston are forced to justify the lines Doctor Burnett is crossing to keep Hazel all to herself. Doctor Love contains mature themes, such as explorations of mental health, abuse, misogyny, and homophobia. Audience discretion is advised.
