Plot: Alison is invited onto a lavish trip where Liam insists on adopting false identities. She discovers that he is using her as a cover. Alison is convinced that she can walk the fine line between her duty to the police and their undeniable connection.
The Code of Silence Series was Really Good.
Pros: I give credit for showing a deaf civilian can get work at a dangerous environment. How Alison’s hearing loss is central to the storyline. Rose Ayling-Ellis was tremendous as Alison. I’m glad the setting was all done in real locations. The direction of thing is top notch and also for it’s colour grading & drama that build throughout.
Cons: I find the relationship between Alison & Liam a bit Shakey at the start. I didn’t get that much of relatability toward Braden and the final confrontation was pretty predictable to lacklustre.
