Cheating Death was a gripping thriller series that aired from 2004 to 2005. Produced by Lionsgate, the show followed J.V. Martin, an accomplished physician and inventor of cutting-edge medical technology, as he worked to save lives and uncover the truth behind unusual medical cases.

Throughout the series, J.V. Martin used his vast medical knowledge and innovative technology to solve some of the most challenging medical mysteries of our time. From rare illnesses to strange contagions, he tackled a wide range of puzzling medical cases that traditional medicine had failed to diagnose.

With each episode, Martin's task was to uncover the root of the illness or condition so that he could create a treatment plan that would save the patient's life. But this often proved easier said than done, as the illnesses and conditions he encountered were often bizarre and unexplained.

As J.V. Martin raced against the clock to save his patients, he often encountered resistance from hospital administrators and other doctors who disagreed with his unconventional methods. But Martin was determined to save lives, no matter the cost.

In addition to the medical cases themselves, Cheating Death also delved into the personal lives of J.V. Martin and his team. Martin's relationship with his wife and young daughter was a recurring focus throughout the show, as was his ongoing rivalry with Dr. Vincent Stephens, a traditional physician who disagreed with Martin's approach to medicine.

The show's cast was led by J.V. Martin, played by Nathan Fillion, who brought a charming yet serious demeanor to the role. His supporting cast included Kelli Williams as Martin's wife, Rebecca, and Thomas Gibson as Dr. Stephens.

Throughout its run, Cheating Death captivated audiences with its thrilling medical cases, high stakes drama, and nuanced exploration of the medical profession. It was a show that showcased the best and worst of the healthcare system, while shining a light on the innovation and creativity required to save lives in the face of adversity.

While the show only ran for two seasons, it left a lasting impact on audiences and earned critical acclaim for its unique premise and standout performances. Cheating Death remains a beloved gem in the television landscape, and one that will continue to be remembered and praised by its fans for years to come.

Cheating Death is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (10 episodes). The series first aired on November 20, 2004.
