I would not in a million years have guessed what the outcome would be. Let's just say it is as black as pitch, and, like so many Silent Witness plots, completely OTT.
As usual, the lead characters peered at some bodies and exchanged some perfunctory dialogue. But the plot was sufficiently intriguing to make me come back for more. And that’s why this show is still hanging in there.
You don’t watch Silent Witness for its sparkling dialogue or its psychologically compelling characterisation. But more often than not it delivers with its no-nonsense storytelling.
