In Prime Video’s Scarpetta, this crime thriller based on Patricia Cornwell’s novels introduces us to forensic pathologists, Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Nicole Kidman). We learn that she is returning to her hometown as Virginia’s Chief Medical Examiner who is working on a murder investigation while also focusing on cases from the past which allows us to navigate dual timelines.

The cast is rounded out by Jamie Lee Curtis (The Bear, The Sticky, Knives Out) as well as Simon Baker (The Devil Wears Prada, The Mentalist, The Guardian), and Ariana DeBose (Hamilton, Westworld, I.S.S.).

LOVE TRAPPED: OWENS V. ECHARD

When we watched Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor, he was not one of the favorites and many of his choices left people scratching their heads. Like many on this show, they moved on to settle into their new lives. In Love Trapped: Owens V. Echard, this 10 episode podcast investigation details through his own words, legal teams, and depositions when he dealt with a woman who is alleged to engage in a paternity fraud scheme.
What makes this story interesting is that it is Internet sleuths dug into the details of the case to allow his team to see an array of discrepencies that were taking place. At the time that this case came to light, fans of Bachelor Nation, Reddit and more came together to get to the truth and to expose a history of a pattern of behaviour by his accuser.
