David Caves is great addition to the cast
Silent Witness is a powerful crime series. Sometimes I have to look away during the autopsies. The storylines are well written and the actors are quite good. David Caves is fantastic!!

This is my first review at Amazon. I am writing not only because I like this series but also to ask you to make available seasons 2 through 16 for USA viewing. The characters are nuanced and the plots are compelling, making this a valuable series to add to your catalog. I am sure I am not the only one who would buy more seasons if they were made available.

Good interplay between the personalities
much improved over the earlier seasons. Good interplay between the personalities, more focus on the clinical methods etc.and a more realistic portrayal of what ME's actually do rather then the earlier focus on the "lone wolf" attitude in seasons 1,2 & 3. Makes for more interesting reading.

One of my favorite Brit mystery series
One of my favorite Brit mystery series. It's suffered a bit from the departure, first of Tom Ward (Dr. Harry Cunningham) and, afterwards, of William Gaminara (Professor Leo Dalton). I was very disappointed when Amanda Burton left the show, but the team that came in after her departure, including Emilia Fox (Dr. Nicki Alexander), were just as good. This new group is a bit of a disappointment. Still, I hang on in hopes.....

BBC-WHY????
I haven't seen season 17-season one was 4 1/2 to 5 stars-but I have no idea what happened in seasons 2-16 so am uneasy about purchasing this. This makes no sense whatsoever-why skip 15 seasons?? This is not exactly a good sales technique. Are previous seasons going to be released?? I just don't see why BBC thinks people are going to rush out and buy a show with15 seasons missing.

Beginning to Wear Out Its Welcome
Disappointing: Quality of stories is uneven. The quality of the writing about the stories is uneven. I keep wondering how the actors would do if they had really good material to work with. Maybe it's time for everyone; producers, directors, writers etc., to move on to something else.

We miss Leo very much but the new director of the Lyall seems to have an interesting new approach. Still love Nicki and Jack and the active involvement they bring to their cases. Well written and well acted with some new "concepts" as main focuses of the various episodes. Continue to enjoy and look forward to more episodes.

Great Storylines
Great show......that keeps you guessing until the end. Highly intelligently written storylines...and great characters keep you interested until the end.

Complex stories that offer new insights even after watching them multiple times
Like many of the UK series the stories are complex. The story lines use all of the characters who appear for more than a walk on are as important as those of the regular characters. This makes the story more interesting than those where the only story line is who is right and wrong.

great writing, Filming, Acting and Directing
If Silent Witness Episodes played in the Movie Theater, they would be better than almost anything else that is playing there now.

Well written but rather slow regarding the team's approach to the case at hand. Fox play only a minor role in the episodes which is rather disappointing. Apparently, that's to change in season 18. I ordered 18 but now you have sent it from England in region 2......Why do you keep changing the source? Now that I got into the series, you screw up the continuity~
