“What would you get if you crossed [British] TV’s Cracker and Silent Witness with comedy legend Victoria Wood? The answer is Dr Lindsey Fitzharris and her fascinating new series which puts 6 infamous deaths under the microscope. Bubbly and blonde, Fitzharris is as effervescent as the laboratory tests she oversees as her team try to unravel the lives and final moments of, among others, drug lord Pablo Escobar, escapologist Harry Houdini, US Actress Brittany Murphy and Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. If it sounds slightly gruesome, that’s because it is. But Fitzharris’ boundless enthusiasm and genuine wide-eyed interest prevent Smithsonian Channels’ The Curious Life and Death Of series becoming macabre and mawkish.” Express (UK)
