Tbh, Silent Witness is one of things that kept me alive when I was depressed. That's a bit extreme and not overly helpful to the average viewer, but it's true. My past desperation aside, these characters are complex, realistic, and beautiful. They feel like home to fans of the show, and the scientific attention to detail (while not always accurate, c'mon, what crime show is?) is mesmerising. A triumph of television, and a positive work of art. I'll stop with the flowery descriptions now (I'm a poet, can't help it), and just say: This show is always enjoyable, has achieved massive viewership in the UK (season 20 has over 8mill), had a massively positive impact on my life and I couldn't recommend it more highly. I love Silence Witness.

Yet another great TV experience done the way it should be done.. Different enough from all other 1 million crime dramas of today... Very well written and actors, particularly new comers Jack and Clarissa, make the show.. Nikki is brilliantly portrayed by Emilia fox!!
