Ultimately, The Mortician keeps getting drawn back to Sconce, whose cold-blooded certainty is treated as if it’s more interesting than the victims’ grief. .... Rofé ends with a Jinx-style stinger: Sconce apparently, or at least plausibly, confessing to three murders. .... But, considering there’s no suggestion whom that mystery victim may have been, it’s a wan note to end the series on, more of a damp squib than a bombshell.

It’s true that not every true crime project indeed gets a remorseful subject, but the interviews that serve as the backbone for this one are particularly frustrating, and it feels like Rofé keeps hoping for a breakthrough moment a la “The Jinx” that never really comes.
