Scarpetta

Nicole Kidman in Scarpetta.

Scarpetta is a thrilling new series starring Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis. Based on the crime novels by Patricia Cornwell, the show follows Dr. Kay Scarpetta (Kidman)—a brilliant and beautiful forensic pathologist perpetually sporting a white lab coat—as she travels through Florida, Virginia, and South Carolina investigating a murder similar to a pivotal case from nearly 30 years before. Curtis plays Kay’s older sister, who provides more strain than comfort. Ariana DeBose, Bobby Cannavale, and Simon Baker also star. If you’re looking for a binge, this is it: all eight episodes drop at once. —Carolina de Armas
