Silent Witness (TV Series) River's Edge: Part 1 (2016) User Reviews

A brilliant, engaging opener.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 9/10 · 28 February 2016]

It's a grizzly start when A couple (Kate Blair and Chris Chandler) and her young son Dan are tragically gunned down.

Good to see Thomas Chamberlain (Richard Litern) have a little bit more involvement in this story, he's been a little anonymous in this series, his character's given less input then Leo was for some reason, shame as Lintern is a cracking actor. I really enjoyed Derek Griffiths's stint as DS Malcolm Guillam, he was excellent.

Another very powerful episode, the scene in which Sally has to deliver the tragic news to Miles was extreme and powerful at the same time, brilliantly acted. Wonerfully complex once again, intriguing, gripping, a definite attention keeper. Silent Witness is getting better and better.

Loved it, 9/10

Great Forensics/Admirable First Half

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 10 May 2019]

When a family is killed for no apparent reason, the forensics become really important. The prime suspect is the estranged husband of the female victim. Their son escaped but hit his head and lies in a coma in the hospital. There is a second plot. A female doctor is summoned to a place to do illegal medical assistance for a rather large man. Obviously, this guy is a crook of some kind and she is being blackmailed by the man who called her for assistance. One of the better episodes in the series.
