Doctor Odyssey surprises viewers with a traditional soap-opera twist by introducing Max's twin brother, played by Joshua Jackson. This playful narrative device allows the show to embrace its absurdity, enhancing both character depth and entertainment value. In an episode called "Crew Week", Max visits his home where his identical twin, Merrill, a suburban dad, is introduced. The show showcases its special effects in a scene where the twins engage in a nostalgic game of catch, emphasizing the magic of television and the show's ability to entertain despite its wackiness.
It's a delight to see it deployed on a contemporary big-budget primetime series, allowing it to get more playful than most other programs.
Jackson seems like he's having a blast playing the schlubby suburban-dad version of Max; the real highlight is when the twins toss the ol' pigskin.
