Silent Witness (TV Series) Supernova: Part 2 (2006) User Reviews

A wonderfully twisted outcome.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 8/10 · 26 November 2022]

Leo is assisting The Police when a third murder is committed, a murder that cannot possibly be linked to the other two. Who exactly is Supernova, and what is their purpose?

It built on thr first episode, and managed to go several steps further, this was a really strong concluding episode.

The solution was not one I was expecting, it seems as though it came out of left field, but it wasn't outrageous or ridiculous, it did actually work. Not a huge amount of involvement from The Lyell team, it really is the story that's the driving force, no love story, angst, family goings on, just story.

The ending was really dramatic, and quite shocking, in keeping with the overall feel of that storyline.

The only thing I wasn't fond of, were those awful flashback sequences, they really did feel awkward, a little overdone, but in fairness it was made back in 2006.

Worked well, 8/10.

Teenage Pact

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 19 March 2019]

In the days of Kurt Cobain, we began to see the restless, hopeless teen become an attractive incarnation. After several killings with almost no motives, one needs to look to the non-traditional, non-rational ones. Here, a group of girls are so bored with their world, that they let a callous leader take them to the edge. This is really well done and very, very bleak.

Life after Burton

[Mark Price · 9/10 · 8 August 2006]

I wondered if the series would continue to be as good without Amanda Burton who was very much the star of the show until she left. Well I needn't have worried. The acting is superb as is the script every week. But this two part episode was the best so far. I taped it and watched it twice to see if I could fault it or I was being particularly stupid and the answers were there all the time. No neither. Yes you could see some of the twists and turns but not the whole of it and as for the finish - well that blew me away. The excellent leads were complimented by young actors Tamsin Egerton, Natalia Cappuccini, Paul Richards and the outstanding Rebecca Oldfield.

Did you miss this one? Shame. Look out for the repeats. I'm keeping the tape.

Ridiculous episode

[melee3 · 4/10 · 25 August 2020]

Showing a 14 year old's nude body is too much. This episode was just too scattered and jumped around too much. The flashback's were so blurred and hard to see that it was really frustrating.
