    Incorrect order listed for episodes #2 & #3

    This episode is actually #3 of Series/season #2. When watching the episodes, Fragile Relations is viewed 2nd; then Up In Smoke appears 3rd.

    Good Series but...

    This episode had mistakes. Right at start it was obvious another body would fit...without 2 coffins of course. Second after he says...you end up with a fine powder.

    No you don't!!! What you end up with is...a kind of gravel. Bone gravel. Bones are left and crushed. There is no powder, no ash. I know, I say my loved ones remains.

    This is over all a good series, enjoying it. Pity they show forensics people so much - without their masks on and without their heads covered. That does not happen! If it did, they'd be fired pretty quick. Fact checking should be a thing these script writers - or producers do before making such big mistakes.
