Update: This series is firmly in my TOP SERIES list. I have been caught up since Season/Series 22 and now eagerly wait, every year, for the new episodes to broadcast. Emilia Fox has proven time and time again that the series fell in good hands when she was chosen in series 9 to take over the lead. And, what a treat when Amanda Burton returned in a guest role for series 25. Never does an episode fall beneath an 8 (great) but the series as a whole is a 10 (best of the best) out of 10.

Original review: I know this is a blast from the past but I'm just now discovering SILENT WITNESS, a police procedural from the perspective of the pathologist's office. I'm still in the Amanda Burton years (a stellar talent renowned for stage and screen). I love the bi-weekly investigations/who-done-its but I am equally fascinated by the fledgling performances by actors who are now headliners. I'll be at it for quite some time as the series is currently in its 22nd year and I'm just enjoying season 2 but I'm grateful to be able to see it in sequence and the personal drama's are as poignant as the mysteries. Britain certainly knows how to do crime shows. I give this a 7.9 (just short of great) out of 10. [Crime Drama]
