Top review

8/10

A silent feud comes to life.

A major incident causes the powers that be to turn their attentions to CID.

The case here is almost uninteresting, we're not given enough info, or enough characters to make it intriguing. Instead this serves to illustrate the situation between Reid and Burnside. I have been expecting her to tear him off a strip, but she's too smart, instead she's chosen to silently sink him, and absolve herself of any responsibility in this botched case. She didn't get where she was by being a fool.

We recently saw actress Lisa Geoghan who would play Polly, here we see Clive Wedderburn, who would play Gary, nice that the show clearly saw something in the talent.

Cold wat tactics make for an interesting watch, 8/10.
