Positive: Extra star for repeated scenes sticking a metal thermometer tube probe though a corpse's ear into brain to measure temperature & therefore approximate time of death.
Negatives: The use of prosthetics was the main drama event, and they were so cheaply made it bordered on laughable, e.g. neck slash prosthetic looked fake & obviously placed over neck. The other three hooks were our pathologist's supposed joking behavior at murder scenes; his not very believable pulling crime scene details out of nowhere, and his imaginary talking to the dead which came across as bizarre. Very predictable plot of least expected (usually seen early on) is the guilty one. Quick, cheap confessional denouement at the end. Oh, and his egocentric driven desire to talk about & show off his body.
