I really liked this series but it doesn't really seem to know what it is. Is it a black comedy? Is it a detective thriller? Is it a realistic look at pathologists showing human frailties and fractured relationships or an over the top theatrical ensemble cast blurring fact and fiction? It's just so much of everything that it ends up skating over all of it and this never really settling on anything.
Babou Ceesay is magnificent and is so charismatic, and the actor playing his daughter is also excellent. The rest of the cast are great but it's a bit hammy and 'knowing' at times.
Still, it was a lot of fun and really gross sometimes which was unexpected, and the episodes are short and taut. No flab on this.
