Coroner will premiere on More4 on Thursday May 6th at 9pm.
Coroner follows Jenny Cooper, a newly appointed coroner investigating suspicious deaths in Toronto.
Jenny is a brave, determined yet vulnerable coroner, former ER doctor, and recently widowed mother, driven by an intense desire for the truth. She loves her son more than life itself and strives to support him while also trying to take care of herself.
The passing of Jenny’s beloved husband has unlocked a primal connection to death, tied to a secret in her past that is only now coming to the surface.
The drama series, which is inspired by the best-selling series of books by M. R. Hall, stars Serinda Swan (Ballers), Roger Cross (The X-Files), Éric Bruneau (Blue Moon), Ehren Kassam (DeGrassi: Next Class), Tamara Podemski (Rabbit Fall), Alli Chung (UnReal), Lovell Adams-Gray (Second Jen) and Saad Siddiqui (Madame Secretary).
The series has previously aired in the UK on Universal TV and Sky Witness.

I liked this, though it won't be everyone's cup of tea.
Series 3 aired recently across the pond.

Well this didn’t do a lot for me, mainly because I thought it was so badly acted, especially by the Coroner herself. I shall give it another go but at the moment I think I prefer the BBC afternoon Coroner, late of this parish, to this. It also struck me as odd that the coroner could be widowed, presumably handle the funeral, get another job (not to mention an appalling haircut) before discovering anything about her financial situation.

I have just seen that this series is based on a novel by British writer Matthew/M R Hall who was the chap who wrote Keeping Faith. So to my mind that must be why I find the heroine irritating!

Not seen any if this, however I have read all the books and enjoyed them, and not keen on seeing it all changed so much. In the books Jenny lives in Wales, works in Bristol so crosses the Severn bridge to work each day, and has a good sense of place. It probably works OK in a Canada setting for anyone who hasn’t read the books, but don’t think I’ll be watching it.
