## Synopsis

Manner of Death (2020-2021) is a Thai crime mystery series created by Sammon for WeTV, running one season of fourteen episodes. Forensic doctor Dr. Bun (Pakorn Thanasrivanitchai) examines a death that looks like suicide and realises it was murder made to pass as one. As threats begin to close in on him, he is forced into an uneasy partnership with a mysterious suspect, Tan (Nattapol Diloknawarit), whose true identity remains a source of tension. Their search for the truth runs through a web of corruption, mafia connections and personal danger, with Inspector M (Sapol Assawamunkong) working the official investigation around them. Each episode peels back another layer of lies, with the case expanding from a single body into a network of people who have reasons to keep the death buried. The series is a grounded, adult-oriented Thai crime drama set in contemporary Bangkok, with a tense, paranoid atmosphere and a steady sense of threat. Its engine is the race to prove a murder before the people responsible can silence the witnesses. Fans of Broadchurch and Hannibal will find resonance in its forensic focus, morally compromised investigators and slow-building conspiracy. Its mature content and crime-thriller pacing make it a gripping, dark watch for viewers who enjoy detective stories with a hidden-identity hook.
