I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Before this current series this show used to be quite good. Now the main characters are so smug they all need a good slap, the suspense has all but disappeared (not helped by the awful incidental music) and it's never the poor old police who solve ANY of the clues. I still find it hard to believe that forensic scientists would be allowed by any police force to totally take over an investigation. I tried the first two series but found that even though the story lines were quite good, Amanda Burton's character was so up herself I couldn't watch any more. When she left I started watching again. Emilia Fox's character was a lot more believable and everything ticked along nicely until the last couple of series. Surely this is the end of the road BBC for this awful "drama".

This show is a favourite of mine. I'm rarely bored watching it, but anyone thinking it's realistic must be high as a kite.It has good pace and throws enough red herrings in the mix to keep me (usually) unsure as to who did what and how it will all pan out.However, you do have to swallow the idea of a forensic team that could easily be confused with a posse of rogue policemen. These people don't just do forensic science and make occasional court appearances. They barge past detectives to interrogate witnesses (the detectives never seem to mind this) and chase and tackle suspects. They have guns held to their heads every so often. They get out there and meet all the players, sometimes even date them. Some of them do it all tottering around in high heels. It's utterly ridiculous but the success of the show testifies to its dependable entertainment value. Enjoy with a large grain of salt.

This series continues to grow in interest, quality and plot lines.Whenever people rave about CSi, (which I consider it, and it's even lamer derivatives to be THE worst drama on TV), I always point them to Silent Witness. It follows accurate pathology, police routine and technology, and doesn't talk down, or dumb down. If you want to see pathologists at work, then you are going to see cadavers opened up. (That's what they do.) If you don't like that sort of thing, stop complaining that it's sick and go back to washed-out, inaccurate American cop shows that wouldn't know a dead body if it jumped up and bit them. (Or just lay there looking pretty with a cloth laid over their naughty bits.)

Fabulous show ever since Amanda Burton (Sam Ryan) left the show.The story now takes centre stage and not Sam Ryan. The plots are more varied because it does not revolve around one character.The best crime show today. More realistic than the CSIs of the world. Brings new forensic capabilities into the show only when they help and not as the centre piece.While the stories can be expansive, they are not outrageous and are spread out over two one hour episodes (less commercial time) allowing deeper plot and character development.Too bad there are very few episodes each season.
