An insurance man commits suicide?
Sleepin_Dragon10 March 2020
William Byfield is an insurance investigator, who's clashed with Nikki at a case of possible suicide. Byfield is later found dead in his car, it appears to be suicide but Leo has doubts. Byfield had been working on a case off suspected insurance fraud surrounding a man called Stephen Connolly.

It's a very good, intriguing episode, with plenty happening. I can remember enjoying this one a lot when it first transmitted. I like when the show gets into ethics and issues such as suicide, they always handled them with interest often showing both sides of the argument.

Would Harry really have behaved like that?

Polly Frame is great as Claire Ambler, she really is an intense, smart character, who makes poor Leo's life hell. Lucy Cohu as always is fabulous as Rebecca.

8/10.

Insurance Fraud
Hitchcoc27 March 2019
Leo becomes an abettor in a case of a mistaken finding of suicide. A man was supposedly PM'd but all records have disappeared. Meanwhile, the widow appears to be at the center of things. The insurance company is involved in some way, resisting payment of the life insurance. Harry is possibly being set up. Should be an interesting conclusion.

silly plot ruins a mediocre story

Warning: Spoilers
Poor Harry! Of all the people on this show, the character of Harry was always the most dynamic and fun, yet still dignified. Unlike the Nikki cgaeacte, who needlessly puts herself quite stupidly in jeopardy at the 3/4 mark of nearly every episode, Harry was written as a character with some sense. Not this time! Some dame comes along and spreads her legs, and Harry jumps her bones- in A PARKING GARAGE! And it gets worse by the minute from there. The absolute nadir of the piece is the discovery that the 'murder' was a suicide, followed by the revelation that the death was faked, which is just utterly stupid. All drama requires a suspension of disbelief; but this time it all collapses in a pile of junk.
