"When her world is rocked by the possibility that she convicted the wrong person in a career-defining case 27 years earlier, Dr. Scarpetta must uncover the truth to catch the real killer, and clear her conscience in the process."
"The first season - Prime Video already ordered two, so stock up on the good popcorn - interweaves two distinct timelines, giving Scarpetta the double helix structure of a DNA strand. Each episode jumps back and forth between 1998 and 2025 as we watch the doctor and her colleagues unravel the clues to parallel murders in the past and present."
"Part edge-of-your-seat thriller, part family psychodrama, Scarpetta is pure prestige viewing; the ensemble cast is full of iconic names like Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby Cannavale."
