Based on the Jenny Cooper mystery novels by M.R. Hall. In the books, Jenny becomes coroner as a recently-divorced lawyer instead of a widowed ER doctor.
Serinda Swan is only thirteen years older than Ehren Kassam, who plays her son.
Nicholas Campbell (Gordon Cooper) played a coroner in DaVinci's Inquest.
The series didn't premiere in the United States until several months after it premiered on British television.
The phones the police use are Blackberry Key series. Bar phone with full QWERTY keyboard. The phone was a complete breakaway from the traditional Blackberry 8300 series with a trackball and 256MB of memory. Many improvements including 128GB, dumped trackball and switch from original OS to Android 8.1. The phone wasn't received well and was introduced in June 2018 and discontinued at the end of the month. Being a Canadian company, it made sense to show the phones off in a Canadian TV series.
