    A Hidden Gem
    I recently discovered this hidden gem on Britbox in the US. It's well-written, has a great cast, and is gritty without being overly cynical. Gabriel Byrne as pathologist, is offbeat and troubled, but never descends into the narcissism of so many post-House medical characters.

    The wonder of Quirke as that they only made 3 episodes. To be sure, the episodes are long, around 90 minutes each. That said, there were many untapped story lines left to be explored in this series. It's a pity that they didn't extend it. It's well worth the watch.
