Nancy Banks-Smith Guardian Feb 25, 2020
Poor Sue Johnston, the personality profiler, is given some intractable lumps of gristly dialogue to chew. Holly Aird, the forensic pathologist, has the air of a fairly furious cat, and no wonder. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Feb 22, 2021 Overwrought. Terrible acting meets terrible writing, and is then scored by a Halloween Spooky Sound Effects CD. The actress playing Marina tries valiently to demonstrate for her cast-mates what a nuanced performance is, but apparently at some point in their careers, a director said, "Bigger! Can you do bigger?" and they never looked back. See more Nov 1, 2020 The cold case genre was still relatively fresh when this was first broadcast. Trevor Eve & Sue Johnston's chemistry and performances stand out the most while the remaining cast develop their characters more as the series progresses. It's noticeable from the pilot from Eve's character has a partner and baby, however fortunately I think they were right with the character of Luke Boyd which gave Eve more humanity to a steely performance. Bravo! See more Read all reviews
