What BollyAI Thinks
Production moved to Silverprint Pictures and the transition benefited the show: stronger visual texture, tighter episode structures, and cases with a darker emotional undertow than the ITV Studios era had typically delivered. Series 8 included 'Home', which earned one of the show's highest individual episode ratings - a case involving a returning soldier that the writing handled with unusual care for military trauma and its domestic aftermath.
