    A strong second episode.

    Workmen discover a skull, which leads the team to hunt for a depraved killer.

    A more complex story than we were given in the first episode, this is very nicely layered and satisfying story, it's very well written. For the most part, the events don't seem to make sense, once you're given the conclusion, the pieces of the jigsaw all fall nicely into place.

    The team are developing nicely, Like is a fun, clever, interesting central character, you can see how he'd irritate those around him, Marshall is very good.

    I really liked the acting of both Serena Gordon and John Castle, the pair were very strong.

    Very watchable, 8/10.
