Season 1 Review:
The series is packed tighter with incidents than a Marx Brothers stateroom, including a pseudo-spiritual grief cult, 3D-printed human organs, a fallen space station, intra-office rivalry and crushes and, not to forget, murders. .... Cannavale is the series’ MVP, grounding Kidman in their scenes and Curtis in theirs, and seeming, more than most of these characters, like a person you might meet in this life we call real. As younger Kay, Rosy McEwen carries the past-set scenes, and could support a series of her own.

Season 1 Review:
The show cuts between the two tracks metronomically, giving them roughly equal time, and there is a lot of evidence to keep track of; cellphone checkers may find themselves lost pretty quickly. What you can’t miss, however, is how the contemporary story has been conceived as histrionic soap opera. .... The early timeline, by contrast, is rational and reasonably absorbing, a straightforward (if grisly) procedural mystery that is not insultingly silly by the standards of serial-killer drama.

Season 1 Review:
Kidman and Curtis have terrific chemistry, and they clearly have good fun as warring siblings whose childhood animosity has bubbled over into adult hostility. But, really, their scenes could have come from any half-decent drama, and they alone cannot save Scarpetta.

Season 1 Review:
The ensemble is so jam-packed that the characters overwhelm any semblance of narrative the show is trying to achieve. It’s unfortunate that most of them feel like caricatures rather than fully realized characters, as conversations between them often end in a cacophony of overwhelming yelling backed by crocodile tears. Thankfully, in the ’90s timeline, McEwen breathes some much-needed life into the series.
