Faint praise where it's due, the plot is reasonably engaging, with its overseas aid workers, illegal immigrants and organ harvesting / smuggling.
Grace is often the most interesting character in the show, but there is precious little for her to do here. Spencer gets increasingly annoyed at being sidelined by Boyd, There is a promising if small window into Eve's personal life outside the lab, but only inasmuch as it introduces a dodgy character who serves as a way in to another cold case. And Boyd goes completely and ridiculously off the rails.
However, the real disaster is in the denouement. Without giving anything too tangible away, the idea that the police would remove themselves from the circumstances as they do, when what is coming next is only too obvious, is quite ludicrous.
Very disappointing. Evidence that, despite a great cast, the writing in the later series was going rapidly downhill.
