ABOUT HARROW SEASON 3
Our lovable, irritating, smart and flawed renegade pathologist Dr Daniel Harrow returns for a third season. After 20 episodes, many viewers thought they knew all there was to know about our conflicted, eponymous protagonist, a man at once morally upright with his own unshakeable code of conduct, yet who can also be secretive, sly, and has already killed twice.
But there is much more to discover – truths and half-truths that will pull our feelings one way then another as Harrow himself learns more about his family… and himself. In the end, of course, he will remain the maverick we love, but one with even more layers which we peel away week-by-week as he and the QIFM team solve intriguing episodic mysteries. There is one big question that kickstarts Season 3: Is that really Harrow’s son lying dead in his own morgue?
