I started watching Scarpetta the other night with low expectations but it’s turned out to be far better than I thought it would be. I’ve actually been binge watching it and have one episode left. A lot of reviews online don’t like the flashbacks and the number of sub-plots but they do make sense overall so it’s worth staying with. All of the cast are very good especially Jamie Lee Curtis who overacts like crazy but is great fun and adds humor when it’s needed. Bobby Carnivale is always very watchable. Nicole Kidman is also very good. I’d recommend giving it a go you might be pleasantly surprised.
