comment
Set in Miami, Florida, Rosewood is a combination Forensic Drama and Police Procedural which pairs Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr. (Morris Chestnut), affectionately known as "Rosie," a high-spirited pathologist in private practice, with cynical, recently widowed Detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz) of the East Miami Police Department. Working with Rosie at his "Magic City Lab" are his mother, Donna (Lorraine Toussaint), sister Pippy (Gabrielle Dennis), Pippy's fiancee "TMI" (Anna Konkle), and socially inept technician Mitchie Mendelson (Sam Hutchinson). Villa's superior in Season 1 is Captain Ira Hornstock (Domenick Lombardozzi); at the start of season 2, Hornstock is demoted to detective and Ryan Slade (Eddie Cibrian) is the new captain.The show was cancelled after two seasons in May of 2017.

Hiding the Handicap: Rosie has had at least two open heart surgeries, and as of the middle of season 2 is in need of a kidney transplant, but you'd never know it by the way he acts or how vigorously he works out.

Poorly Disguised Pilot
 Rosewood / int_38b05ae7
comment
Poorly Disguised Pilot: Season 2's "Tree Toxins & Three Stories" seems to have been meant as a backdoor pilot for a spinoff series about an eclectic group of pathology students (a disgraced former influencer, a plastic surgery student taking it as an elective, an intelligent but socially inept guy, etc.) who assist with the case of the girls Gerald is suspected of murdering and would probably have done something similar if it went to series. Rosie mentions knowing their professor, who is absent in the episode and presumably hadn't been cast. No additional series came of this episode.

 Rosewood / int_50ca4422
comment
Unresolved Sexual Tension: present between Rosie and Villa from the start, even though both had other romantic involvements over the course of the series. Left Hanging: In the final episode of Season 2, Villa announced that she was leaving Miami and asked Rosie (whose feelings for Villa were coming to the surface) to give her a reason to stay.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Every episode except for the pilot has an Alliterative Title in The Noun and the Noun format. The first noun usually references some element of forensic evidence that is significant to the Body of the Week. Examples: "Mummies and Meltdowns" "Keratin & Kissyface", "Negative Autopsies and New Partners".

Dark and Troubled Past
 Rosewood / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Rosie's life has been a continuous battle with his health issues. Villa's father abandoned her and her mother when she was quite young. Later in life, her husband died suddenly of a freak pulmonary embolism and later turned out to have been murdered. Hornstock has had multiple failed marriages and is estranged from his siblings. Slade grew up in an orphanage, and went through some rough experiences as an undercover agent investigating human trafficking. TMI spent much of her early life as a closeted lesbian. When she came out, her parents more or less cut her out of their life. Even Pippy had some of this, having spent some time as a runaway when she was coming to terms with her sexuality due to her mother not being supportive of it at first (unlike her father and Rosie). Mitchie lost his parents in a car accident at a young age, which engendered in him a great interest in human anatomy.
