Coroner

Just finished episode 1 of the third season and I have to admire their determination to keep going regardless of Covid. Season 2 got a bit crazy with just about everyone losing their minds. And sometimes it verges on New Amsterdam schmaltz, but usually veers off before it goes too far.

They manage to keep it fresh, and I love the two leads. Her son is an idiot and acts 12 despite supposedly being 19, so he's a bit irritating. But I'm still enjoying it. I really don't understand the low ratings as it's perfectly entertaining and the characters are engaging. Plus the crime plots manage to stay fresh and inventive.

I like it! It's not exceptional but it's well acted and constructed and deserves to stay on air. I'm looking forward to the rest of season 3.

5 episodes in and all I can say is I can't wait to see more. The people who don't like it, clearly don't like this sort of thing. For those that do.... WATCH IT! If I have a minor gripe, it'd be I feel as it's a serialized TV programme, they have to sometimes squeeze too much in to a short space of time. I felt one or two episodes could have benefitted from being a little longer. But for this, I'd give it a 9 or 10

I really liked the show when crimes were being solved, and mysterious cases explored. Sort of like "Quincy, ME" (showing my age lol). But lately it seems the majority of each episode is about the personal lives of the characters. I find Jenny's "son" and "father" to both be extremely irritating for some reason.

First episodes are never a good way to judge the success of a new series. I found some of the writing felt rushed to introduce characters but overall I enjoyed it. The acting was great so this show deserves some time to show if Coroner will be a hit or a miss. Nice to see a series filmed in Toronto and not pretending to be an American city.

For those who thought the show was unrealistic because she was able to finish med school with a young child, episode 7 addresses that. I was disappointed, but not surprised by reviewers who somehow thought that because the lead character has mental health issues she is weak and incapable of doing her job. Mental health issues are not caused by weakness. This is why so many people who are struggling hide their issues which leads to more negative outcomes. This is also why we need more shows like these that show people living their lives, while also dealing with mental health issues. I am an avid fan of mysteries and police procedurals and this did not disappoint, while also displaying characters i found likeable and could identify with
