Viewers of ITV’s crime thriller “Code of Silence” took to social media to express their frustrations following Sunday night’s third episode.<\/p>\n

The six-part series, created by Hijack’s Catherine Moulton, stars Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis in the lead role of Alison Woods, a deaf worker in a police canteen. <\/p>\n

The show, which aired its latest instalment on May 25, has been praised for its representation of deafness in primetime drama, with Ayling-Ellis’s character’s hearing loss being central to the storyline.<\/p>\n

The premise of the show follows Alison’s journey as her exceptional lip-reading abilities catch the attention of DS Ashleigh Francis (Charlotte Richie) and DI James Marsh (Andrew Buchan).<\/p>\n

The detectives subsequently recruit her for a covert operation to monitor a dangerous gang plotting a high-stakes heist.<\/p>\n

In the third episode, viewers watched as Alison grew closer to Liam Barlow (Kieron Moore), one of the main suspects in the case, and defied police instructions by following him to a gang meeting.<\/p>\n

However, it was Alison’s surveillance techniques that drew criticism from viewers on X. <\/p>\n

Fans pointed out how obvious her monitoring methods were, with one writing: “She makes it so bloody obvious. She has to stop staring at him then texting near him. Aaargh!!”<\/p>\n

Another viewer complained: “This is getting so stupid and far fetched. She is going to get caught out very soon. Staring at people and sending texts. #CodeOfSilence.”<\/p>\n

Beyond criticisms of Alison’s surveillance methods, viewers also expressed broader concerns about the plot’s direction. <\/p>\n

One viewer stated: “This is a frustrating watch,” while another admitted: “I’m on tenterhooks over here. What’s she playing at?”<\/p>\n

Some feared for the character’s safety, with one commenting: “Alison doesn’t known what she’s getting herself into.”<\/p>\n

The show received mixed reviews overall, with one viewer confessing: “I’ve really tried but I’m just not feeling it… next.”<\/p>\n

Another summed up their conflicted feelings: “It’s both great and totally f***ing ridiculous at the same time.”<\/p>\n

Despite the mixed reactions, “Code of Silence” continues to generate significant discussion among viewers for its portrayal of a deaf protagonist in a mainstream crime thriller. <\/p>\n

The series highlights Rose Ayling-Ellis’s talents beyond her Strictly Come Dancing success, bringing deaf representation to primetime television. <\/p>\n
