Redundant and unnecessary.

Memorable, crazy movie

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Silent witness used to be good , there was only two reasons to really watch it 1. British drama is far far superior than the American drivel 2. Emilia fox's arse
The show is just silly now Emilia and David ( Nicki and Jack ) are now fully fledged coppers , sitting in and interrogating witness'/ suspects , running after and apprehending the ner do wells
All the while they are meant to be pathologists ?
Clarissa, well don't get me started, and the other fella Richard Lintern what's he all about
Bring back the birch I say especially for the writers of this

I adore Brit Crime series, but alas, this is not one of them. The crime procedural takes a back seat to preachiness, to dramatic, soap opera theme which has the actors acting more as police or soldiers, or cage fighters or whatever the themes of that episode is. Moreso, the episodes could have a massacre or a horrible crime, but it didn't matter because it was about central character dramatic, emotional feelings, and not about the crime. "It's all about me" is quite central and true in this series. I went from liking Emilia Fox to despising her entirely. Skip this one.There's too many exceptional, Brit crime series to watch this waste of time.

I have literally grown up with Silent Witness, it's got some incredible staying power. Hard to believe it started back in 1996 and is still going strong twenty years later. Many thought that Series 8 would mark the end of the show with Amanda Burton's departure. I remember at the time being totally gutted she'd decided to leave, but cleverly Emilia Fox was brought in and the show was reborn.At times it's a tough watch, some of the stories are quite dark and harrowing, Redhill is a good example. Sometimes they are a little too graphic, though in recent times they seem to have toned down some of the nasties, A Guilty Mind is very graphic. The series has never shied away from being controversial.It's great that viewing figures are stronger now then ever before, showing audiences still love it and want more. We've been treated to some incredible stories over the years, some highlights include Shadows, Falling Angels and The Prodigal. My favourite story being Bloodlines, which is an incredible piece of television, it has it all, excitement, suspense, drama, an emotional connection perhaps not previously achieved in the series.I understand it faces criticism for being inaccurate, I don't think it strives to be, and I doubt Pathologists solve as many crimes, neither of these points matter one bit, it's a show designed purely for entertainment....Long may Silent Witness continue. 10/10

Fabulous show ever since Amanda Burton (Sam Ryan) left the show.The story now takes centre stage and not Sam Ryan. The plots are more varied because it does not revolve around one character.The best crime show today. More realistic than the CSIs of the world. Brings new forensic capabilities into the show only when they help and not as the centre piece.While the stories can be expansive, they are not outrageous and are spread out over two one hour episodes (less commercial time) allowing deeper plot and character development.Too bad there are very few episodes each season.
