The Penitent - Part 2

Apart from the introduction of Velvy Schur and Dr. Gabriel Folukoya as new and potentially interesting members of the team, this story was let down by a weak plot, largely both preposterous and curiously uninvolving, poor dialogue and some hammy overacting by guests and regulars both. The premise of this show has always stretched credulity in terms of the free reign offered to the pathology team, but usually manages to keep things interesting enough for the viewer to make allowances. As always, the best bits relate to actual forensic pathology and the insights it provides. Not enough this time to overcome the downsides, sadly. A disappointment.
