Trace Evidence: The Case Files of Dr. Henry Lee

I came across this series on amazon prime video and reluctantly watched it thinking that it is not something I can usually watch and stay with.

Boy, was I wrong about that. I couldn't stop watching. This is straight story-telling with lots of twists - many surprises. There are not photographs of bloodied bodies or gruesome crime scenes. If there are actual photographs, the camera does not linger on them. After the crime victim(s), the most important thing here is Dr. Charles Lee, the forensics expert.

He is very quiet. calm, and straight-forward when he explains what he does and what he sees. As one person says, Dr. Lee has a 'quiet authority.'

As I was watching this man and hearing the stories, I thought that he has spent many years in this area of science. He has made tremendous contributions, not on a political or academic level so much as a personal level. He personally told people the story of what happened to their loved ones when no one else could. It is a wonderful thing because prior to this, they have little idea of the truth.

It's a great series, even if only one season. I'm glad I found it. Dr. Lee is a treasure.

Much like any professional, doctor Lee's methods have been questioned from time to time and some claim that hes not nearly as good as his show would lead you to believe. However, the show still makes for interesting television if you are into true crime. My biggest question is how does a man that works for the Connecticut state police seem to consistently be working for every other department in the entire United States? This might make sense if he were with the FBI or some other national bureau, but since he works for a state institution I don't understand how he is constantly being flown around the country to solve other crimes.

Dr. Henry Lee is an absolute Legend! I loved the show! I read a commenter said they were saddened it was only one season, it actually was two seasons so I'm guessing a total of 20 + episodes. I watch it on Amazon Prime all the time, these episodes are excellent ! One of the best shows ever, my only wish was he had more seasons. I understand back then, he was so busy that he didn't have time, he had about 800 cases at that time, that he was working on, this was in the late 90s. Excellent show they talk to the actual victims and victims families and it's just a really great show! Doctor Henry Lee is a man with morals to where you love and respect him more and you are thankful he had the heinous crimes solved! Some of the most seasoned detectives in medical examiner's call him when they can't figure things out ,when they can't analyze certain evidence, this is where he comes in. He'll stop a meeting or leave vacation to answer a cop's call just to help out with evidence again.excellent Show excellent man. It is addicting you will find yourself watching these shows over and over and it's not gruesome or anything like that is not a lot of Gore or anyting, mostly reenactments that he does himself with people he works with, again a show to the enjoy.
