jenrising December 12, 2023 Share December 12, 2023 Quote In the past, doctors in Sweden and Belgium suspect that Dr. Macchiarini is not running animal trials and is instead experimenting on people. Benita realizes Paolo’s promises are lies and uncovers dark secrets from his past. Available 12/21 on Peacock. Link to comment
Snazzy Daisy December 23, 2023 Share December 23, 2023 Kim really does Benita a huge favor and saves her a lot of headaches by taking time to Google Pope’s official schedule online. She obviously can smell a dead rat implanted with an artificial trachea from miles away. It’s all smoke and mirrors. A chilling revelation re Paolo experimenting on people and the lack of due diligence from Karolinska. 2 Link to comment
shelley1234 December 23, 2023 Share December 23, 2023 Paolo was a master manipulator, in all aspects of his life. He sprinkles just enough truth on top of his pile of lies that he kept people in the dark. He also dangled what he knew people wanted. Benita wanted this perfect romance with a famous fancy doctor. The hospital wanted the prestige and the money that would follow. He kept everyone on the take. Watching the patient in so much pain while Paolo just couldn't give a damn was so hard to watch. I do find it interesting in the dramatized version that they are having Benita figure things out and get into investigator mode much earlier than she did IRL. Maybe that's a kindness in the retelling of the story. Link to comment

I watched this story on Dateline or 20/20, and the real life Benita was unlikeable IMO. I remember thinking she was kinda dumb for not investigating the ‘magic’ doctor more for her story on him. And even dumber not to do background check when she ended up in a relationship with him! I don’t care how charming the guy was, once I heard him say the POPE (!!) agreed to marry 2 divorced people (!!) in a Catholic Church (!!), I would have been calling bullshit. Then on top of that, telling me Elton John, the Obamas, Andrea Bocelli, and scores of other global celebrities would be in attendance??? Bye bye bye. 3 Link to comment
RunningMarket January 22 Share January 22 I know it was done for plot, but if I was investigating my fiancé, I would not have "Patrick, Private Investigator" pop up on my call display. 1 Link to comment
