One only episode in this two year series hit its mark: Perfectly Formed in the second year stuck to solving a mystery complicated by every suspects having a seemingly solid alibi but all lying to the detectives. That complicated plotting alone took 47 minutes but used the time todeliver a satisfying twist ending. Overall the show's main characters are engaging and one looks forward to the innerplay between the detective mother and rambunctious teenage daughter. The problem is that the dramatic arcs of the main characters occupies too large a fraction of each episode, hogging the time needed to develop a richmystery. It's sad because there were a lot of positive elements in The Coroner. It simply tries to do too much, leaving the resolution of each episode rushed and thin.
