The premise

Elliot and Beverly Mantle are twins who share everything: drugs, lovers, and an unapologetic desire to do whatever it takes — including pushing the boundaries on medical ethics — in an effort to challenge antiquated practices and bring women’s healthcare to the forefront.

Horror Vault's take

A reimagining of the cult Cronenberg film, this prestige horror series follows twin gynecologists Beverly and Elliot Mantle — both played by Rachel Weisz — as their shared lives, vices, and professional ambitions spiral into something deeply, disturbingly unhinged. The sisters are united by an obsessive drive to revolutionize women's healthcare, but the cost of that vision grows increasingly dark. Equal parts medical thriller and psychological character study, the show weaponizes the sterile world of modern medicine to explore how far ambition and codependency can corrode the self.
