Code of Silence

I binged it too.... it did slide a little but not enough to worry me, and I did rely on subtitles occasionally and a couple of rewinds. I'd watch a second season though.

It gave a little insight in the deaf world, and if I ever came across a deaf person I would be a little more understanding of how they can be ignored.

It was engaging enough to me, and made sense with no real plot holes.... A nice experience overall. Good acting, location and film-work...it all flowed nicely.

A solid 7

I was drawn to the unusual premise, for sure. And the acting is fine. I've watched the first 3 episodes. The problem is, the writing goes off the rails for me. Alison's continual naivety-- blowing off instructions, not thinking through the ramifications of her overly obvious attempts at surveillance, the police team's inexplicably vague explanations --gets old for me. And the willingness of the investigators to go along with Alison's clumsy efforts to infiltrate the mob is just too unrealistic. All this judgement decreases my caring about Alison and that's not helpful. I hope she gets better before episode 6...

Detectives find themselves without an expert lip reader, urgency means they have to turn to Alison Woods, an employee at the Station canteen. The team are attempting to bring down a group of dangerous criminals, who only meet in wide open spaces, Alison prices invaluable, but things get complicated when she gets close to one of the suspects.

Code of Silence is an excellent series, if you haven't seen it yet, I'd urge you to make some time and binge watch it, it's gripping, must watch TV. It's important, amazing that we're seeing more deaf actors having central roles.

So many shows struggle to fill 6 episodes, not that case here, every episode is rich in content.

It's packed with tension and intrigue, in the first few episodes you will quite literally be on the edge of your seat, it will hold your interest from start to finish.

Rose Ayling-Ellis follows a busy spell, appearing in Dr. Who and the terrific Reunion, she puts in another superb performance here, as does Kieron Moore, who's equally good. If you haven't seen Reunion yet, I urge you to do so.

I loved it.

9/10.

I binged all 6 episodes in one day, loved it!

Code of Silence reminded me of Patience as well: a girl with a mundane job and a special talent helps the police.

But this time it's one case for the whole season. Loved that it was a robbery case, not the usual murder.

Rose Ayling-Ellis is super sweet. I guess she played the character really well: Alison desperately wants to prove herself, to show people that she's worth something. And oh my God, she's absolutely insufferable when she does what she's not supposed to do. I was almost screaming at the screen every time she put herself in danger. The suspense was killing me.

I haven't seen Kieron Moore before, but wow. He is annoyingly attractive and has that bad boy with a good soul vibe that makes heart of every female skip a bit.

The series turned a bit melodramatic in the end, but still hope there will be season 2.

I found this show too stressful to watch. The principal character is a young woman Allison, who is a gifted lip reader due to her deafness. In a break from waitressing, she is temporarily recruited by the police of a British city, to lip read surveillance videos. The police clearly warn her, for her own safety and in order not to compromise their investigation, not to research the names or have any contact whatsoever with any of the subjects of the surveillance, who are very dangerous.

So, unbelievably, this is exactly what she does. She takes one foolish risk after another, with no sense of danger, with minimal precautions, and carries on oblivious to police warnings, in order to play detective. In the end, I found it just too stressful to watch, even though Allison was a personally very appealing character in several ways.
