Waking The Dead Subtitles Series Is IdenticalBecause the premise and formula of Waking the Dead s second series is identical to that of its first, I shall quote the premise I outlined in my review of last years The Complete Series One Pilot Episode release. Beating the premiere of the American forensic investigation phenomenon by just under a month, this BBC series works to a similar, if slightly less flashy, framework. Waking The Dead Subtitles Crack Cases ThatThe action centres around a London-based Cold Case squad, a small and elite team tasked to crack cases that have either never been solved or whose results have been called into dispute. ![]() Joining him are criminal profiler Dr. Grace Foley (Sue Johnston), pathologist Dr. Frankie Wharton (Holly Aird), and detectives DS Spencer Spence Jordan (Wil Johnson) and DC Amelia Mel Silver (Claire Goose). Over the course of this first series, the team struggle to find their feet as they are faced with impossible demands for quick results in a business that often takes a very long time indeed. Visually, the show drifts away from the desaturated, naturalistic approach of the first series in favour of a more glossy, saturated and stylised look. So begins what, for many viewers, has since become a running joke, as the Cold Case squad appear to work in an office whose lighting conditions must make it impossible to actually see any of the evidence pinned up on the walls in front of them. Unlike Series 1, in which the five-person team seemed to be working in a building with other members of the police force, in Series 2 they seem to have the whole place to themselves. ![]() Only Spence, who was the most underdeveloped character in the first series, seems to have anything of a social life, as, in two episodes, he calls on old acquaintances to aid his inquiries. The cases continue - four of them, each spread over two episodes, just like the previous series - using the same familiar formula as outlined in my earlier review, although it does appear to have been at this point that the writers began going for increasingly convoluted plots and solutions. Often, the trouble comes simply from trying to keep track of a large number of potential suspects, while at the same time sorting out their back-stories and relationships with each other. The first two cases, Life Sentence and Deahwatch, which are relatively concise and well-ordered, are probably the strongest, while the other two, Special Relationship and Thin Air, are considerably more muddled, with the latter especially coming across as more than a bit far-fetched. The trouble, essentially, is that of the detective fiction format: so much of the narrative is comprised of people telling each other what happened in the past, often mixing lies with truth, to the extent that it becomes extremely difficult to keep track of what is happening. This is further complicated by the fact that, unlike the likes of Inspector Morse, who would generally begin investigation within a short space of the crime in question having been committed, Boyd and his crew are digging up skeletons that have been buried for anything between 5 and 40 years. A lot, understandably, will have happened during this interim, and the result is that there is often simply too much to keep track of. Im not criticising the show for assuming that its audience possesses a certain level of intelligence (after all, so many series and films in this genre seem to assume that the viewer is an idiot), but at times it does seem to be making things complicated just for the sake of it. The biggest offender is Thin Air, which, at the eleventh hour, throws in an incest subplot that seems to have come out of, well, thin air, but is crucial to the killers motive. Im not the worlds best person at spotting such individuals, but when the late David Hemmings shows up in the episode Deathwatch as a retired detective, its impossible to even consider him not being involved in some way. As for whether or not the identities of the various killers come as a surprise, since I watched all of these episodes when they originally aired and could vaguely remember their plots, its difficult for me to say whether or not the whodunit aspect is entirely successful. Generally speaking, everyone is hiding something, so its no use looking to the most (or least, if youre applying reverse psychology) shifty suspect. Some of the investigative leaps in logic should also raise a few eyebrows. A perfect example of this comes in Thin Air, in which it is discovered that the murdered girl, Joanna Gold (Sophie Winkleman), had a black boyfriend.
