The Mystery of Mental Health
Hitchcoc30 March 2019
This really delves into the strange activities of the human mind, especially when it is damaged. The core here is a person whose illness is known about but who hides it well. As Nikki faces her own demons, others have been left to fend for themselves. The mystery of the three patients who died in one night is explained very well. Chalk this one up as a must see for writing and plain old suspense. There are some real Hitchcock-like moments.

A hugely memorable episode.
Sleepin_Dragon4 November 2015
A truly memorable ending, one of the best I can remember on the show, lots of tension, and a really shock. Two people placed in mortal danger.

A very different, complex episode, this is the first time we've had any character in the show deal with mental illness, it has seemed a sudden affliction for Nikki, but it has been well played out.

Favourite bit had to be Skip's conversation with the receptionist at the Hospital so funny. Vilma Hollingberry is hilarious.

Sinead Keenan star of the show with an outstanding performance, she was brilliant throughout. Underrated actress.

Just excellent, twists and turns, shocks galore. 9/10

Strong Second Part
retina_scan3 January 2022
I had mixed feelings about the first episode, as it seemed a bit confused and there were some rather out-of-character moments for Nikki - can't recall her being particularly religious any time before. But this second part was much stronger, even if you get to realise who is the character who does not seem that sane and most likely is responsible for the deaths. A lot of great scenes and quite gripping often.

Some moments didn't make sense. Nikki's dialogue with the psychiatrist is hugely unlikely to develop in this way in a one-off or first session.

I was also thinking about Nikki's and Harry's flats.... How much do pathologists make? Even in 2011, only a tycoon could afford these properties in London....

Cheeky Skipper wins the day
jknousak28 April 2024
Having Nikki lose it over the dead girl in the manner the writers chose as well as the direction was very weird. They did have Harry be the voice of reason here and there, though, which was good.

The mystery -- mysteries -- of Who done It were interesting and played out pretty well.

BUT, the best part of this show was the DI who was cheeky, funny, a very-well written character that made the viewing well-worthwhile. His comments sprinkled throughout made a heavy storyline bearable and made it easier to stay with the story to find out the conclusions. Hope they bring that actor and his character back another day!
