The TVI Take

Prime Video's adaptation of Patricia Cornwell's forensic novels gives Nicole Kidman the chief medical examiner and Jamie Lee Curtis her estranged sister, splitting the story across two timelines. The performances carry more weight than the case does, which leans on accumulated red herrings rather than a clean line of forensic reasoning.

The result is a competently mounted procedural that its cast elevates above the familiarity of its construction.
