From IMDB:
From deep within the morgue at St. Patrick’s Hospital in London’s East End, Dr. Iain McCallum and Dr. Angela Moloney along with a team of brilliant pathologists and detectives help the dead tell their stories.
Previously I reviewed the Scottish TV series “Rebus” which in its first season starred John Hannah. Subsequently I discovered the TV series “McCallum” also starring John Hannah. Both can be streamed from Acorn TV (currently $4.99 per month).
“McCallum” is at least as good if not better than similar series. Much like “Vera“, each episode is approximately one and a half hours. Series 1 offers four episodes whereas Series 2 offers five episodes.
Rather than a simple who-done-it, this series similar to the other high quality series has a running theme which features other story threads. Almost without exception, each such series deals with the home life (or home non-life) of the main sleuth. Of course, you can expect a few romances along the way.
One possibly unique characteristic, is that John Hannah as Dr. Iain McCallum the forensic pathologist must constantly prevent the detective DI Bracken from rushing to false conclusions.
“McCallum” does not seem to be as bloody as other series, nor as violent Still, however, not for children.
If this is your genre, you cannot go wrong. In fact, if this is your genre, DO NOT MISS!
