TV Review: Above Suspicion - "Silent Scream Part 2"


Season 4 - Episode 2
ITV1 (UK)

The investigation into the murder of actress Amanda Delaney is in full swing, and the events of this episode manage to ask as many questions as they answer. 

Throughout the episode, multiple suspects emerge, but manage to rule themselves out after a short conversation with the police. It's the type of thing that happens in real life, and shows the frustration that the force, led by Langton and Travis have to contend with. But while Delaney's fellow actors, her lovers, and their wives rule themselves out of suspicion, more suspects emerge. A pair of increasingly dodgy drivers seem to have something to hide, and a third possible driver, who also appears to be a dealer, is nowhere to be found. And as things come to a close, another of Delaney's drug addicted former flatmates is fished out of a river. Two of her former flatmates now dead, something is going on.

The episode also furthers the relationship between Langton and Travis. As he accuses her of being the one to sabotage his promotion, the sexual tension builds. IT's a brilliantly shot scene, full of emotion, and I really hope it gets some sort of resolution of it's own in next week's final episode.

This served very much as the mid-part of the story, nothing was resolved, but plenty happened nonetheless. It's left me absolutely gripped for the finale next week.
