So, when one of their own within Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is murdered, Major and Carver become hellbent on solving the case and proving their worth
This was my last chance of hoping that this show would impress me.
I finally liked the latest series of Code 404.
Pros: After seeing this latest series of this show which made me interested to see what’s instore next. I did laugh a little bit in between at points. Series 3 is more grounded and makes it more enjoyable to binge-watch throughout its 6-episode block and I like how they used Major with this mystery.
Cons: I didn’t like how DCS Dennett was used. There were a handful of stupid decisions that made you roll your eyes.
