Hands down, the worst ever episode of Silent Witness.

Velvy wakes up at a festival to discover the dead body of a social media influencer, he has vivid memories of a beautiful young woman wearing a mask and wings.

I honestly wish I could give a more positive review than the one I'm about to give. This woeful series stumbles on, at the point now where I'm squeezing episodes in during my lunch break, rather than wasting an evening on it.

What a lifeless, boring episode, this show is sadly such a pale echo of what it used to be, and I'm sorry but the problem rests solely with the writing team, it felt like a cheap production worthy of a midnight slot on BBC3.

Almost every character was blank, lacking any degree of substance, it was like watching a child's cardboard theatre production, with cardboard cutout figures moved around the stage.

Velvy, was just excruciating, I'm not sure where this guy is at, but after being somewhat interesting early on, he's now just irritating.

....like nobody saw that ending coming.

I watched this, and actually felt sad, I don't think the show has ever fallen so low, this was atrocious.

3/10.

Not the finest.

This episode has a very complicated and uneven story. Has way too many mismatched, conflicting themes going on. So much character development makes for a ponderous, confusing and at times dragging plot. Story tries to be contemporary or topical regarding social media, but this trope is actually a little passe´ and worn out. So many subplots can be interesting, but really? A plethora of misleading rabbit trails took us too far away from the main plot. The ending did not really bring everything to a close, left unanswered questions and was unsatisfactory. Love main characters Nikki & Jack. Love the show in general usually. But this one was a miss.
