Nasty nudity and near nudity in the first episode of Scarpetta

This is a new Prime series based on a series of forensic thriller novels about a chief medical examiner. I watched only the first episode, and have no intention to watch the rest unless one of you tells me there is nudity worth capturing. I found many of the characters annoying, and some of them totally unrealistic. I based my decision to quit based on The Gene Siskel rule: While the mystery is interesting, I simply don’t want to spend time with these characters.

(An exception is Bobby Cannavale, who is natural and credible, as he always is.)

Based on the following metrics, I don’t seem to be the only one unimpressed:

IMDb: 5.5
Tomato Meter: 69%
Popcorn Meter: 46%

If you want all the details about the series, including spoilers, Mashable did a great summary.

If you are curious about why fans of the by Patricia Cornwell novels are not entirely pleased with the series, Elle did a good overview.

Despite the tepid reaction, Prime has approved season two, and production is already underway.

I didn’t do any still captures because Nicole Kidman’s shower scene reveals nothing, and there’s no way to say whether the women who played the living characters also posed for the corpses. (The dead bodies are the characters played by Kassia Conway and Emma Massalone in their living avatars.) I did capture the videos, which are probably not worth your time.
