This is less a show of like 'Cops' where things are recorded in real time, but more like 'Forensic Files' where the events happened in the past but are reenacted. Actors play the deceased with make-up applied to show the wounds. The actors also reenact the days and minutes leading up to the time of death. The autopsy shows nothing. Everything is so blurred out that she could be holding a sandwich instead of an extracted heart. Dr. G describes what she sees, or saw. You never see her cut into the patient, she imitates cracking open the ribs but the ribs are never shown, the skull is supposedly sawed open but you don't see it. The only real thing is blood being put into lab tubes and microscope slides. This is possibly the least graphic show about autopsies out there.
But that's OK.
Dr. G is an good teacher and curious personality. The way she and her team figure out each case is interesting. The computer graphics and photos are very helpful in understanding things like blood clots, cardiac tamponade, strokes, and unusual diseases and conditions. If you were a medical student she'd be a good teacher. Her conclusions sometimes are helpful toward those who are still living.
It would be educational and interesting if there was a show with real autopsies in order to learn more about anatomy and physiology.
