The second episode of our two-parter resolved the mystery. I can't say that this one was too shocking. I had originally thought that it might have been the guy from the construction site that first found the body since he went to that nearby clinic instead of just calling emergency services right away. However, basically as soon as they started interacting with that doctor from the clinic he was sus as hell.
I am hoping that this was more or less a tutorial mystery to help establish things in this show and that they will become a bit more complex from here. A mystery show lives and dies on how good its mysteries actually are, and this one was pretty simple at the end of the day. This show is going to be running at the same time as Apothecary Diaries, and it is going to need to step up its game if it doesn't want to be seen as the lesser of the two Sherlock-esque series this season. They even had a mind palace sequence like the recent Benedict Cumberbatch Sherlock used to do @rikka@ani.social
That is a very high bar to clear. With Apothecary Diaries airing at the same time, I have tempered my expectations of this show from the start.
