On Sunday (May 25), the six-part series returned to the airwaves with another nail-biting development.<\/p>\n<p>Created by Hijack\u2019s Catherine Moulton, the programme sees <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/latest\/strictly-come-dancing\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|AutoLink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strictly Come Dancing<\/a> star Rose Ayling-Ellis in the lead role of Alison Woods, a deaf worker who has spent years working in a police canteen. Alison\u2019s life is turned upside down when her lip-reading skills catch the attention of DS Ashleigh Francis (Charlotte Richie) and DI James Marsh (Andrew Buchan). The detectives recruit Alison for a covert operation in which she must monitor a dangerous gang who are plotting a high-stakes heist.<\/p>\n<p>The character\u2019s hearing loss is central to the story, offering a rare on-screen representation of deafness in primetime drama. During the third episode, fans watched Alison grow close to Liam Barlow (Kieron Moore), one of the main suspects in the gang case.<\/p>\n<p>The drama turned up another notch when Alison also went against police advice and followed Liam to a gang meeting where she recorded their conversations and read their lips from a distance.<\/p>\n<p>But fans couldn\u2019t help but point out one major fault as she stared intently at the unfolding gang activity. Taking to X \u2013 formerly known as Twitter \u2013 fans fumed: \u201cShe makes it so bloody obvious. She has to stop staring at him then texting near him. Aaargh!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another agreed: \u201cThis is getting so stupid and far fetched. She is going to get caught out very soon. Staring at people and sending texts. #CodeOfSilence.\u201d A third echoed: \u201c#CodeOfSilence She\u2019s gonna make them suspicious staring at them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, fans shared their concerns for Alison, fearing that she could land herself in a whole heap of trouble without the police to back her up.<\/p>\n<p>One viewer fumed: &#8220;This is a frustrating watch&#8221; while another admitted: &#8220;I&#8217;m on tenterhooks over here. What&#8217;s she playing at?&#8221; A third chimed in with concern: &#8220;Alison doesn&#8217;t known what she&#8217;s getting herself into.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A fourt echoed: &#8220;I&#8217;ve really tried but I&#8217;m just not feeling it&#8230; next&#8221; as a fifth agreed: &#8220;It&#8217;s both great and totally f***ing ridiculous at the same time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Code of Silence is available to stream on ITVX. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Code of Silence viewers were left up in arms after spotting one annoying habit during the latest instalment&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132052,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3937],"tags":[58172,50439,58174,58173,58168,58169,77,24445,208,58171,58170,25133,50438,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-132051","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-charlotte-richie-partner","9":"tag-code-of-silence","10":"tag-code-of-silence-tv-series","11":"tag-code-of-silence-when-is-it-on","12":"tag-deaf-representation","13":"tag-death-valley-bbc","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-hearing-loss","16":"tag-itv","17":"tag-itv-tv-guide","18":"tag-rabbit-hole","19":"tag-rose-ayling-ellis","20":"tag-strictly-come-dancing-2024","21":"tag-tv","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114571609607955458","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132051","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132051"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132051\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
