Mellekhatas Season 2 Episode 1: Release Date, Cast, Time & Streaming Guide

As patients, we place our lives in the hands of attending doctors with ardent hopes that they will save us from our ailments and treat our maladies well. However, when such a person commits a horrible mistake- a medical malpractice that can alter their patient’s treatment procedure, putting their lives at stake, what are the consequences for the doctor?

In Hungarian, the word ‘Mellekhatas’ means side-effect. In context to that definition, the drama series is named based on its story that follows the sequelae of dangerous medical malpractice performed by a rather skilled and experienced doctor Zoltan, who is both reputed and respected. Now faced with the consequences of his mistake and his guilty conscience, the consecutive actions of the doctor and the characters around him constitute the plot of the series.
