      Nancy Banks-Smith Guardian 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. Feb 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      SDC Has it's moments for sure, but our 'hero' (Boyd) is a total arsehole, and makes the show a thoroughly unpleasant watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
