In both Kidman and McEwen's talented hands, Scarpetta is a methodical, smart, and sangfroid chainsmoker, highly skilled as chief medical examiner, scrutinising causes of death and throwing the book at chauvinist colleagues. She's not a hard boiled detective who flies off the handle and cuts corners — that's her charming but combustible partner Pete Marino (Cannavale Sr. in the present, Cannavale Jr. in the past). Instead, she's a by-the-book forensic pathologist urging her colleagues to wear sanitary equipment and refrain from using slurs. The comparisons between her and another scrupulous '90s investigator, The X-Files' Dana Scully, are not subtle, from the suits and tees Kay dons to a literal collation of the two's similarities in episode 6.
