Nina Metz Chicago Tribune To Code of Silence’s credit, it’s told from the point of view of Alison, rather than the police. Rated: 3/4 Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times If the character’s naivety stretches credulity, her desire to be useful rings true... Ayling-Ellis succeeds in capturing feelings of insecurity and excitement and imbues Alison with authenticity amid an unconvincing crime story. Rated: 3/5 May 28, 2025 Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) Moulton’s script is written from experience and with veracity and shows its sheer complexity. The result is a fresh, original drama that has done the near impossible and given us a cop drama with something new to say. Rated: 4/5 May 23, 2025 Full Review Ed Power iNews.co.uk With Code of Silence [Ayling-Elli] is revealed to be something else: a riveting actress with the talent to anchor a knuckle-biting criminal caper. Rated: 4/5 Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) By far the best thing about it is Ayling-Ellis... Across six parts, viewers get to enjoy a satisfyingly twisty yarn from writer Catherine Moulton (Baptiste, Hijack) and watch a star of the small screen being formed. May 22, 2025 Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk But although it’s not a heavyweight crime drama, it’s still worth a watch for its simulation of the deaf experience. The handling of lip-reading is fascinating, and the sound effects...are perfect. Rated: 3/5 May 21, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
