What to expect from Code of Silence season 1?

Released on May 18, 2025, Code of Silence immediately established itself as an ITVX hit thanks to writer and creator Catherine Moulton’s fresh take on a crime drama. The series follows Alison Brooks, a deaf caterer in a police canteen who is recruited for her incredible lip-reading skills.

After police officers DI James Marsh (Andrew Buchan) and DS Ashleigh Francis (Charlotte Ritchie) realise what Brooks can do, they ask her to help out in a case. The two officers are investigating and surveilling a dangerous gang planning a jewellery heist, and while Alison agrees, things quickly become complicated for her.

She develops feelings for Liam Barlow, one of the suspects the group of officers have been told to surveil. In the process, Alison manages to uncover Barlow’s real identity and figures out that he’s Liam Gray, and is not an actual part of the gang.

Instead, Gray has ulterior motives for joining the group, but his actions further complicate things for Alison, leading to her being kidnapped by the gang. However, by the series finale, Alison and Liam manage to figure things out, albeit at a big cost for one of them.
