[This story contains MAJOR spoilers from the season one finale of Scarpetta, “Bridge of Time, Part Two.”]
Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Nicole Kidman) has just become the kind of cold-blooded killer that she has spent her entire life trying to bring to justice.
In Prime Video’s adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s bestselling crime novels, Kay returns to the Commonwealth of Virginia to reassume the role of Chief Medical Examiner, the same office she had once occupied in her early 30s. Ambitiously told across two timelines, the eight-episode first season, adapting Cornwell’s Postmortem and Autopsy, finds Kay investigating a new female-targeting serial killer while wrestling with the guilt over a big secret that cast a dark cloud over her first major case with a similar MO decades earlier. (Kidman plays the protagonist in the present day, while Rosy McEwen plays her in the late ’90s.)
