Set against the stunning Scottish landscape in and around Dundee, this six-part thriller takes viewers into the world of forensic science. The story follows 23-year-old Emma Hedges, who takes up a new position as a lab assistant at the Scottish Institute of Forensic Science. While attending an online forensics course, she discovers that the fictitious case study has a strikingly similar and shocking link to her past. As Emma starts to dig deeper into the unsolved murder case, she soon realizes she should not trust anyone. With a help of two female professors, Sarah Gordon and Kathy Torrence, she works on bringing a killer to justice.

Gabi J @RT55423370 05/19/2024 Great characters, perfect acting. Some inconsistencies in the writing were slightly annoying though. The rather abrupt disappearance of Daniel and Emma who were the main protagonists in the first season, the sudden appearance of the spouses/families of Neil and Sarah that hadn’t even been mentioned in Season 1 where those two had already been flirting heavily, the shift of perspective from the “victim” perspective (Emma) in the narrative to the perspective of the crime unit. The first case was picked up again in an interesting twist (catching a suspect isn’t the end of it) but not consequently followed through and resolved. Maybe to be picked up in Season 3? See more Dave C @RT09838700 05/05/2024 Again with the slow, seemingly predictable and nonsensical first half of the story… The relationship between Compston and Windsor is a lazy, baffling part of this See more whoknows w @RT92094318 02/22/2022 This season is more clearly focused than the first and the target is the lab, the science. Same (almost) great cast as the first season and top performances from the actors. Would like to see more seasons of this and more development of the characters but keeping the forensics in the main loop and not as a side distraction as it felt in the first season. This one got it just right. Now I finished it and I think it can go on for another season, and see where it goes from there.. It's got potential. See more Read all reviews
