  Having recently watched Sins of Season 7 I once again find myself reflecting on how dark and heinous some of the crimes and scenes have become We've come a long way from the start of the season which was no where near as gruesome. I wonder - has this changed the series for better or worse?

  More then just the facts hide « show »

  Waking the dead has impressed me greatly ever since the series started. I have always been a great fan of CSI series, however the BBC approach is at times darker, the drama is deeper (as one expects from a BBC result) and the storyline is often very gripping.
  
  Our shoestring still fights for the truth, but now for those who can no longer speak. As you go from season to season you see more then just the development of the team members. The excellence of the actors and writers make these journeys a quality filling evening with every case you watch. The double episode apprach still functions excellently after 6 seasons. The whole buildup and progress which is not possible in 41.3 minutes (excluding advertisement) is not a match for the 2 full hour episodes this group delivers.
  
  This is more then a dynamic team story, it is often the deeper thought of victim and criminal that makes this series pretty much the reigning ruler of BBC Drama.

  8.6 Great

  Needs past characters hide « show »

  Waking the Dead is a very good show.Trevor Eve is the reason the show works.He is very intense. It was too bad they replaced Frankie and Mel.Also in the United States the show needs to have a permanent spot and not a hit and miss scheduling as it is now.

  The cold case unit always have an interesting case to re-open, and (hopefully!) solve. forensics, physcology and logic all come into it, as the killer must be brought to justice. hide « show »

  I love this programme - and I'm gutted that the current series has had to end! But, having said that, I can't wait for series six. Bring it on (fast please!)!!! This programme is not just about DNA matching and stuff (if you want that watch CSI), but it involves so much more. The back stories of the characters all come in, and there is often a lot of doubt if an old case of somebody on the team is called into question. Superb acting, great writing and brilliant direction all make this programme what it is - FANTASTIC! ! !

  By far one of the best crime shows on television today hide « show »

  This fast-paced, fast-witted show really requires the audience's attention. Unlike so many other dramas on tv that are possible to watch with one eye closed, the refreshing nature of Waking the Dead ensures the viewers never have a second of boredom.
  
  The latest series has answered our worry by ensuring us that yes, the program can survive, and even flourish, amid cast changes.
  
  The Cold-Case squad includes a pathologist, a psychologist, and three Detectives, allowing us to access all fields of information.
  
  Every week, a new problem hits our screens. Any every week, I'm continually excited and delighted by the intelligent crime and the route to justice.
  
  I only hope that this drama receives its worthy praise, and continues to surprise us year after year
