I've been trying to really carry on watching this series and liking it. But I can't. I find Nikki Alexander insufferable. In this episode particularly, where the focus should be on victims, we keep seeing her story and her past. What is she? A kind of martyr who has gone through every possible traumas both in her childhood and in her adulthood? We've seen her relationship with her father in previous episodes, and not once, has any abuse by him come forward in the narration. Not to mention that he is characterised as a gambling sort, somewhat unpleasant but certainly never violent either against his wife or his daughter. I understand that she must mature into something different, from the once light, funny and smiling character that she was at the beginning of her appearance in the show (completely out of character and in no possible way consistent with later episodes resurgence of her broken past). But this? It should be called Dr Nikki's Silent Martyr instead of Silent Witness. Each case has impact or resonance in her own private life. And oh gosh, we see plenty of this in this show now. Is the actress friend with the producers, writers, directors? This is extreme narcissism and it makes the series distasteful, very unlikely and unwatchable
