Back with a bang!
Sleepin_Dragon20 June 2017
A couple are shot down dead at a garage, followed by a member of staff trying to help. Further victims follow, a mindless killer, or someone with a purpose?

Series eighteen starts off in explosive fashion, one of the best series openers I can remember, no wonder viewing figures were returning to the massive figures the show enjoyed in its early years. A wonderfully complex story, with nothing seemingly linking any of the victims.

This episode boasts a tremendous cast, I loved Zoe Telford's character, Jane de Freitas, a great actress, who made her really interesting. The whole cast are great. Liz Carr perhaps my favourite character in the show, love Clarissa.

A superb episode, loaded with tension. 9/10

Like Those Guys in Washington a Few Years Ago

Snipers are such cowards, and this one is plying his trade. Silent Witness has set things up masterfully. Another stellar first episode. Five people are murdered in a seemingly random way. An uptight investigator is in charge. She is wound pretty tight and is under great pressure to solve this case. Of course, the public and her superiors expect her to manage this in a couple days. Also, the new leader of the pack is dealing with an ex-wife and her new boyfriend. He is incredibly jealous and protective of his daughter. Anyway, I look forward to seeing how this gets sorted out. A phone call from the psycho ends the first half.
