Coroner - Fachgebiet Mord

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.

It's more of a quiet show. Not much action, more insightful to peoples' lives and deaths. A bit mysterious, sometimes. But not depressing or sad. Some melancholia. I think we need such shows apart from the big fates and adventorous marvels. It is just wonderful. Season 2 was overdramtized, so many things happened, it was a bit too nail biting (but also bold). Season three is more calm, and some could call it boring, especially since there are covid-masks everywhere, which I appreciate. We shouldn't deny what we live. There is a fine line between calmness and boredom, well balanced through season 1, strongly avoided in Season 2. I still hold Coroner very dear and I am thankful that it got three seasons. Hopefully, someone makes the right decision and gives it a fourth one. The chemistry between Seinda Swan (Jenny) and Roger Cross (Donovan) is very good.

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.

I started watching this from the beginning after it was into it's 4th season. I liked it in the beginning, but it has gotten to the point that every single character has to deal with severe mental issues. I understand hitting on mental health, but this is a bit extreme. Some plots are so over the top! It would sure seem that if a coroner had this extreme mental issues, they would not be allowed to work and all cases would be under scrutiny.

Then when the son makes stupid choices (going to a party, taking drugs and drinking) and gets into trouble, of course the show has to make it racial. Dude needs to figure out how to make better choices for himself.

NOW end of season 4, if you watched it this far, OH MY GOSH, there is no shut off valve for this family! PLEASE the show needs to get back to solving crimes, not personal issues. HINT: it is supposed to be entertaining.

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.
