8/12/2023 0 Comments Silent witness reviewsI realise it's not practical but it still feels wrong. Whenever a character dies in a TV show and you see the funeral, it's disappointing if former cast members don't return. And then he was better and everything was good until the end! As it was happening I was thinking 'how are they going to get him out of this?' And the answer was, they didn't. Leo's exit was cleverly done so that anyone who knew it was coming would think it was happening at the end of the first episode of Greater Love, especially as there were no clips of him in the preview. I think I'll try and stay spoiler-free about other TV series in the future now. I always used to be a bit of a spoiler-fiend, looking out for what was coming next, but I've honestly enjoyed not knowing what was coming (except for some odd comments on Twitter about who Nikki was snogging). I haven't read any spoilers for this series, so aside from knowing Tom Ward wouldn't be in it and that David Caves and Liz Carr would, I had no idea what to expect. The fourth episode felt like regular Silent Witness and then there's the last episode, and what can I say about that? I was actually scared to go outside after watching it so made Mr Click take Tara out that night. The third episode really stuck with me, I think because it was so creepy. The first episode was a strong start to to the series but I don't remember too much about the second I'm sure I enjoyed it, but it's obviously not lodged in my memory. Of the whole series I feel like the really standout episodes were the third (True Love Waits) and the fifth (Greater Love). In this series he felt like the old Leo again, I really liked him, which I think is why the last episode shocked me so much. The last episode of the series (before the gap due to an episode being too similar to a real life case) was just weird and I didn't like him in it at all. I didn't like Jack's attitude that if they had him, they'd have her too, but I like her as a character, she balances out Jack.ĭuring the last series Leo got on my nerves. While it's taking me time to get used to Jack, I liked Clarissa from the off. That said, he's an interesting character and I'm glad they've brought in someone who does forensics rather than just another pathologist it's given them another angle to focus on with cases. I'm also not that impressed by the tough guy routine. On a totally shallow level, he's not as nice to look at as Harry. I also still haven't totally warmed to the new boy, Jack. I understand the actor wanting to leave, and I understand the fact that they couldn't change the last episode into his last one, but I think they could've done something just to include him a little more maybe a couple of emails or something, just to make his disappearance more credible. It was frustrating that there's been years of build-up with Nikki and Harry, they've had this brilliant connection and play off each other so well, and it's all for nothing. The only real reference to him all series. This series had a quick mention of Harry accepting a professorship in America. The last series was pretty poor and it aired out of order which meant that it ended with Harry moving in with Nikki after an explosion in his flat. What was disappointing is the way he left.
