The Chemistry of Death (2023)
YgraineDance 3 points 1 year ago. (Contains Spoilers)

This series had its moments, for sure. It’s quite slow-going in many ways, with a seemingly endless number of flashbacks to establish the main character’s sense of running in place emotionally. Yeah, we get it - he’s brilliant in forensics but he’s got issues. His issues are made worse by the nature of the crime(s) as well as by the feelings of claustrophobia we’re getting, not only from the terrible storm but also from the isolated location itself (Hebrides). The countryside has a stark beauty that the camera loves, even though all around us is the storm.
Some of the townspeople are interesting, if more than a little insular and mistrustful. Most of them view the doctor with some degree of scepticism, and you’ll see this played out as the story progresses. I’ve seen all six episodes, and every now and then something happens that mixes things up and puts a twist on the story that you might not have seen coming. Very dark tale, all things considered. Be sure to stay during the end credits of episode six (last).
