It's running on my local PBS station too. Just played episodes 1.2 and 1.3.

The meet not-so-cute between Emma and Daniel was well done. 'You're awful. Throw my card away.'

I've finished watching season 1 and I'm hooked. The forensics on this show are so realistic, they make CSI look like a bad cartoon. And Vincent Regan does creepy really, really well.

Season 2 episode 1 has a great scene with the Dean talking to Kathy about the on-line student reviews and Kathy's comments about the students being more and more helpless each year will make anyone who teaches university cringe.

My PBS station finished the second season, which looks like the end of the show. I got hooked on season one and thought both the mystery and the relationship stuff was well done.

Season 2 had a good start but once buy by episode 3 when Emma and Daniel weren't on any more it began to drag and it seemed like the writing was on automatic pilot. I enjoyed Kathy trying to work out her relationships with lover, grad student and students but the main romantic relationship of the season was not good. Not gonna miss a lack of season 3 if there isn't one.

Still, lots of good forensic information.
