Scarpetta Debut: Kidman and Curtis Lead Amazon's New Crime Drama

Amazon’s eight-episode Scarpetta, an adaptation of Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta novels, stars Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis and uses a dual timeline that shifts between present-day Virginia and 1998. The Hollywood Reporter’s review praises some bold casting and strong performances, especially Kidman and the younger portrayal, but criticizes others and notes notable changes from the source material. Overall, the show aims to please book fans with fidelity to the franchise while delivering uneven execution and tropes typical of long-running crime series, ending on a cliffhanger that could spur curiosity for a resolution.

Scarpetta sinks, One Piece soars: a mixed March TV-review roundup

A TV-review roundup weighs in on four March releases: Scarpetta on Prime Video is a misfire for Nicole Kidman with tepid pacing and uneven plotting; One Piece season 2 on Netflix largely nails the live-action adaptation with strong performances, visuals, and world-building despite a mid-season sag; The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins delivers laughs but suffers from tonal missteps and uneven balance between leads; Paradise’s The Mailman scene steers toward sentimental backstory for Xavier and Teri, offering emotional payoff at the expense of the show’s earlier thriller edge.

Scarpetta Hits Prime Video with Kidman in a Giallo-tinged Forensics Drama

Scarpetta marks a high-profile Prime Video debut for Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta, with Nicole Kidman as the chief medical examiner in an eight-episode series that toggles between 1998 and 2026. The show leans into a glossy, network-like vibe and giallo-inspired violence, supported by a star-studded but uneven cast (Jamie Lee Curtis, Ariana DeBose, Bobby Cannavale) and an AI confidant. The 1998 thriller portion is the stronger, more procedural strand, while the contemporary storyline plays as melodramatic soap operatics; fans are promised a cliffhanger ending and a Season 2 renewal.
