Realistic? Maybe not, but Scott Wolf is awesome in it and the rest of the cast is great. A great show to enjoy if you liked past hospital shows. I love it. Some are complaining that it is unrealistic but there is so much graphic shows now, do we really need more? I find this show pleasant and interesting. My kids like it too. I loved Magnum PI and I believe that Barbie Kligman also wrote for that show as well, so if you liked the flow and feeling of that show you will like this one also. She is an awesome writer, I believe she also worked on Designated Survivor and the Law and Order series Special Victims. Just check it out!!

If you are wondering, the names, dates and details of all these crimes have been altered completely in this show. I think this would have received a higher rating had this been made clear from the beginning. For instance, Episode 1 from Season 1. The first and last name of the couple were completely different. Their occupations were different. Their names were. Scott and Karen Rosten. He was a chiropractor. In reality, the federal judge (federal court, high seas murder) used special circumstances to send him to prison for life. He claims innocence to this day. The country he claimed was involved was Israel, not Ukraine. No ties to Israel were ever proved. There is a good 48 Hours that was made in 2006 from CBS if you can find it. Try to stream from their website for free or on YouTube TV. I noticed the rating for this show was higher in Canada and UK, that may be because those countries are not research freaks like we are in the US. There is an article out there from emmacruises dot come that will list what the real cases are compared to these episodes. I have this 5 stars because it at least puts 26 cruise ship crimes in one show which is interesting. Happy Sleuthing!
