Episode 06: Quincy M.E., S4 E13

August 26, 2020 • Zoë and Richard

Primetime Crimetime reviews the first ALL CAPS crime show! It’s a no-holds-barred emotional rollercoaster of fun as we enter the screamatorium of Quincy, M.E. Employee in the medical examiner’s office who makes a small mistake? You just ordered a single scoop of I scream (at you). District Attorney just trying to do their job? Sorry, pal, you just purchased a one-way ticket to Hollerville. Civil servant just following procedure? Not on Quincy’s watch!

This week we dissect his addiction to rage, and examine how on earth he also has time to badger potential witnesses, hector the California Board of Medical Quality Assurance, and fill out the proper forms in TRIPLICATE. Tune in to the anger machine that is Season 4, Episode 13, “The Depth of Beauty.”
