Silent Witness (TV Series) Running on Empty: Part 2 (2003) User Reviews

A decent episode.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 6/10 · 22 March 2020]

Did Carlton commit suicide, or was he killed, perhaps by the same person that killed Alice, Leo continues in his pursuit to put a name to the unknown man.

If I'm honest I'd say this is an average conclusion, it is too thin to be much of a mystery, the main body of the story is a little predictable, whereas the case Leo is investigating is intriguing. If you can't work out who's done it and why, I'd perhaps say you're not watching it properly.

Sam is a bit annoying, she's more than happy to break the rules, but treats her colleagues harshly over human error.

The acting is good, just not a huge lover of the story, 6/10.

A Bit Too Easy to Figure Out

[Hitchcoc · 8/10 · 7 March 2019]

When Alice was killed, the young runner was on the verge of immortality. The problem is that he was suddenly on a playing field that made a slight advantage the possible tiebreaker. The young guy's family is really dysfunctional and there are so many x-factors. Unfortunately, in the first episode, he is found hanging, thought to have committed suicide. Sam and her colleagues are working to find a time of death for Alice. One thing that is a bit annoying. Her partners in the lab work long hours and sometimes make little mistakes. She is so unforgiving when this happens. Yet, she has not hesitation about playing fast and loose with legal search and seizure. She makes big mistakes but gets all huffy when called on it.

Very poorly written

Nowhere near the quality of all previous episodes. Uncharacteristic bickering between the autopsy doctors led me to look at the writers and surprise, surprise, different writers. Seen this before which is why I looked.

Sad to see

I never write reviews. I doubt I'm an educated reviewer therefore but as I Love this series, these 2 episodes were totally different to the point of being sadly disappointing. I will always give Silent Witness a 10/10 though
