Code of Silence

Code of Silence" is a masterful blend of suspense, action, and compelling storytelling. From the opening scene, the series gripped me, pulling me into a world where secrets unravel and tensions rise. The pacing is expertly handled, ensuring that each moment adds to the overarching narrative. Whether it's the quiet exchanges filled with unspoken emotions or the high-stakes sequences that leave you on the edge of your seat, every frame is meticulously crafted to serve the story.

One of the series greatest strengths lies in its performances. The lead actress delivers a powerful, nuanced portrayal that brings emotional depth to the character. Her ability to convey layers of complexity-conflict, resilience, vulnerability-makes her performance unforgettable. She fully embodies her role, drawing viewers into her world and making them empathize with her journey. Every glance, every pause, and every word she speaks feels genuine, further enhancing the realism of the series.

Beyond the lead, the supporting cast is equally impressive. Each character adds richness to the story, and their interactions feel authentic and well-balanced. The chemistry between the actors creates a natural rhythm, making relationships feel lived-in rather than simply scripted. Whether playing allies, adversaries, or conflicted figures, they elevate the film with their presence, breathing life into their roles in a way that makes the world of *Code of Silence* feel all so real.

The writing of this series is superb. It shows disability in a realistic light without being boring or condescending.

It shows the experience of the deaf individual in a very interesting way that will get over to a wide audience.

Rose is great in this. I only know she was on strictly although I don't watch it. I really hope for more from this writer and Rose.

It is an engrossing watch, tense and relatable in an odd way.

It was great to see BSL on screen and the way Allison (Rose) interpreted through lip reading being shown as text on screen was really cool.

A good tense crime drama with depth and feeling.

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.

Code of silence.

ITV can be hit or miss with its dramas but this one's a hit.

We really enjoyed Code of Silence as it was a bit different for mainstream TV. The story is good enough to justify the show and even though it has more than its fair share of 'aye right' moments it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment. The show is very well paced and there's no fillers like there are on Netflix.

Rose Ayling-Ellis holds the whole thing together brilliantly. She was absolutely convincing in her role as Alison. She's very likeable even though her character never does a thing she's told. Keiron Moore is also very convincing as Liam. All the main cast are good like Charlotte Ritchie and Andrew Buchan and all are convincing with only the odd one letting the side down. Most of the eff bombs are unnecessary and feel unnatural in places. We don't need them and British TV should not be influenced by the vulgarity plaguing US TV.

We watched on ITVX with the subtitles on even though neither of us are deaf or hard of hearing.

I hope there's a second series of this because we liked it.

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.
