Disney Plus hidden gem with 'addictive' plot hailed as 'best ever' by fans

A Disney Plus hidden gem with an "addictive" plot has been hailed the "best ever" by fans.

Crafted by Todd Harthan, American police procedural series Rosewood follows a private pathologist named Dr Beaumont Rosewood Jr (Morris Chestnut), who uses his cutting-edge laboratory to discover murder evidence that the Miami police overlook.

He eventually teams up with Detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz), who finds herself both fascinated and frustrated by Rosewood's unorthodox techniques and upbeat demeanour.

Beyond cracking cases, the programme also delves into the characters' private worlds, including Rosewood's bond with his sister, Pippy (Gabrielle Dennis), and mother, Donna (Lorraine Toussaint), alongside the tragic loss of Annalise's spouse, reports the Express.

Rosewood initially launched on Fox in September 2015, with its second series debuting in April 2017. The programme was axed just days after the second season's conclusion.

Lead actor Morris Chestnut has subsequently featured in numerous films and television programmes, including Watson and Reasonable Doubt.

Meanwhile, Jaina Lee Ortiz achieved tremendous acclaim after landing the starring role of Andy Herrera in Shonda Rhimes' Grey's Anatomy spin-off, Station 19.

Whilst reviewers weren't particularly taken with Rosewood during its original broadcast, the series proved popular with audiences, with countless fans still posting glowing testimonials online.

"This show is addictive. The mixture of comedy and chemistry between the 2 main characters draws you in. Hated that there wasn't more seasons. I would buy them all. Love this show," one person penned on IMDb.

Another chimed in: "Literally one of the best shows I have ever watched in my life. Seriously not joking, this show is so good I have to pause it because it will have your heart beating out of your chest."

A third viewer enthused: "Definitely a MUST watch series if you like action and suspense, with a touch of romance to spice it up. Loved this series!!!! Really wish they would have continued it longer but it is well worth it."

Echoing the sentiment, a fourth fan said: "Detective series are taking over and I must admit this should definitely be in the top bracket of the most watched. Best of the best."

Another loyal fan recently shared their disappointment at the show's cancellation, writing: "It's been over 8 years since Rosewood ended and I still 100% believe it deserved a 3rd season. It was a fantastic show! One I still miss."

If you're looking to fill the Silent Witness void, Rosewood is the perfect late-night viewing.

Prepare to dive into a world of murder, romance and intrigue, all set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami. What's not to love?
