Complicated and absorbing.
sheilaabrahamsson13 July 2014
Having mourned the loss of Leo and Harry for some time now, I'm gradually coming to terms with Jack as Nikki's latest colleague/sparring partner.

This episode seethes with false starts, red herrings and other distractions. Just as we think we may have made sense of some of it.....we haven't. Still, that's "Silent Witness" and it's what we've come to expect.

As usual, although there is a reasonable amount of actual pathology involved, our dauntless pair still do a great deal of their own sleuthing and investigating. Do real pathologists have time for this sort of thing, I wonder? Do they trot around interviewing suspects and getting themselves into dangerous situations? No matter.....it all makes for a good story.

My one really big beef (and it's a BIG one) is with the ABC programmers here in Australia. The very moment the episode ended, next week's preview flashed on the screen, before I had a chance to turn it off, or look away. Great......there was a full screen shot which literally gave the whole plot away. This is not the first time, either, and it's INFURIATING!

Very grizzly, but gripping.

Undertone is one of those episodes that at times is a difficult to watch,but it's done in such a way, that it's a gripping watch.

Some of the scenes surrounding the body, and the information about the baby are very grizzly, and will no doubt upset some viewers.

The story itself is very gripping, I loved the Turkish flavour of the episode, it's well written, and cleverly crafted.

I'm hoping we don't get another corrupt cop, this series has already gone down that avenue, it's guilty of getting a bit repetitive, time will tell. Well acted of course Sean Gallagher is very good. Akin Gazi is fantastic as the villain of the peace.

Very good indeed. 8/10

Turkish Interference
Hitchcoc28 April 2019
A woman's body is found in a lake. She has just given birth by caesarian and the search is on. That's the first case. The second involves the police investigation of a young Turkish kingpin who wields a lot of power. There are drugs involved. There also appears to be cop who is hiding a lot. Pretty good beginning to this episode.
