Dr. G strives to explain the world of medical examiners and how they play a critical role in solving cases. The investigations conducted in each episode can focus on a broad range of deaths, including those deemed natural causes, suicide, homicide, accidental deaths, and medical malpractice.

It is one of the few shows that reveals the intricacies and challenges faced by medical examiners as they seek to uncover the truth behind the death of a person. The show features real-life cases that are often graphic in nature; therefore, viewer discretion is advised.

Dr. G: Medical Examiner is an enriching and captivating show that is both intellectually stimulating and a must-watch for anyone interested in forensic science. The show achieved great popularity during its run, and its legacy remains prevalent among fans of true crime till date.
