    Some Contrived Relationships

    I just had trouble staying with this one. There are several people whose lives are a mess. A vicious murder has been committed (of course) and a man kills the person who has impregnated the previous victim. He then commits suicide. Nikki is walking around like a zombie. Sometimes she looks really old. There is a romance brewing too. Oh well, wait for the second half.

    Action packed, fast paced, excellent.

    The team are called in to the death of Karen Sawyer, a pregnant estate agent who was violently killed. Husband Peter has vanished, and Karen had allegedly been having an affair with dental surgeon Adam.

    If I'm honest I'm still trying to figure out what happened to Sally last week. It's great to finally see Thomas doing some work, I've criticised the show for under using Richard Lintern, he's a class act, nice to see him given a bit of back story. I am still surprised by Jack's annoyance and frosty attitude towards Nikki, this needs to get resolved soon, he's coming across as a stroppy teenager. Wonderful to have Max back, even if it's just for one episode he is a great character.

    I love the fact that Nikki's Mexican experiences are dealt with, so often on shows like this the past is forgotten, but here we see Nikki struggling, Fox was superb, scenes with the councillor in particular were incredible.

    The episode was action packed, fast paced, much easier to follow then the opening two parter. I'd go so far as to say this has been the best episode of the show for a while, superb. 10/10

    What on earth

    This used to be such a good series but they've gone the way of all series that should have ended when the storylines ran out. There's far too much about personal relationships which frankly I couldn't care less about, this is about solving crime through science NOT what a bratty, spoilt 12 yr old is doing!

    Go back to how it used to be, and get rid of any storyline that has brats or angst ridden angry teenagers!!

    Right so IMDb want another 160 characters..... Everyone is as miserable as sin, there is no NO character I have an interest in whatsoever. Maybe have a whole new team start and just get rid of the ones who clearly have has about as much as this as the viewers have.

      Near the end the black lawyer chased a hooded person through the abandoned building while carrying a hammer. When he caught up the hoody turned around and stabbed the lawyer with his right hand. Yet, then the lawyer was shown on his back with what looks like a woodworking tool in the right side of his chest.
