This is a great end to the second series.
Sleepin_Dragon8 July 2021
Tony and Carol are investigating several strange deaths at a Hospital, but Tony is under pressure to put his job at The University first.

It is good that we see Tony placed under some pressure at work because of his involvement with The Police, yous keep asking yourself when does be do any lecturing.

Angus Wright is excellent here as Mr Willerton, he is perfect for the part, he has real charisma and presence, and a degree of snobbery. I could apply similar words to Pip Torrens, who is equally good here.

If you're a fan of crime dramas, you may as I do feel a similarity between this episode, and The Messiah, Harrowing. The whole macabre, hospital killing scene is really rather terrifying. Hospitals are meant to be places of peace and healing, there is something really chilling about a hospital as a crime scene.

I felt that this second series has improved as it's developed, and third part is perhaps the best offering of the series.

Excellent, 9/10.

Simply stupid

Warning: Spoilers
Is the Secret service soooo stupid? Scary! And why does Carol keep getting promoted? She never solves any crime on her own. And they put the police chief in the same Hospital where a silent killer has already murdered several patients? And they leave him without protection because, again, the Secret service wanted to kill two birds with one stone and then orders all guards at the hospital out. It is only by chance that Carol ((who never realized she left her chief unprotected even when she knows they haven't captured the real killer yet) arrives there on time. Else her boss would have got easily killed. And of course, nobody answers their mobile right away. Also, Tony is getting very annoying and too crazy. And shouldn't he be charging the police for his services? It is always his input that solves the crimes. He may lose his job and therefore his way of living, but Carol doesn't care. She is not good enough at solving crimes, but ver good at manipulating Tony into helping her free of charge. Doesn't the "brilliant" psychologist notice this? I hope this doesn't continue in this direction. The audience's intelligence is being insulted.
