What the program’s four directors create—let’s call it a minor miracle—is something that does justice to their subjects. The astonishments in the four-part production are manifold—the surgeries, of course, but the stories, too. ... Fittingly, the series exhibits the kind of confidence you want in a doctor. There’s no sales pitch happening. In fact, the viewer feels privileged to be given such an intimate visit with such remarkable people.

The Surgeon’s Cut tries to humanize the surgeons who have pioneered amazing procedures, and for the most part, it succeeds in its mission. Could it be a little less laudatory? Absolutely. But the laudatory nature doesn’t take away from the medical miracles they perform.
