The Body in the wall.

Workmen discover a body buried in an old factory, Sam concludes from the PM that the man was murdered. The former girlfriend of the dead man seeks help from Sam.
Quite a good episode, but as with the previous, it somehow lacked a little bit of sparkle. A plot that somehow would have fitted better on Waking the Dead, but it's still a good watch.
Sam has been made a somewhat more prickly character, didn't she used to have a bit of a sense of humour?
I'd say Harry is developing more so than Leo. They didn't give Leo the best start.
Dramatic, just lacking a bit of something. 7/10

Nobody points out *anywhere* that here's a very young guy who was yet to become a mega superstar?! I'm in shock! He's not even listed on the main page as being in the episode!
Sorry this isn't about the episode or show, but come ON... it's Sherlock! It's Doctor Strange! It's freaking Benedict Cumberbatch!! I'm not a fanatical teen (way too old), but he's an amazing actor and he's incredibly famous now, so it's odd not to see him mentioned at all.
Ok, so as so many people have noted, they require a certain number of characters in order to put the 'review' out there. So here goes on the episode. Someone asked if Sam seems to be losing her sense of humor, but the prickly I-know-best attitude has been a big joke to us ever since we started watching-as is the fact that her combination of commitment phobia and know-it-all superiority has chased away every guy she dated. So for us it's right in line with her personality all along.
