Viewers 'Cancel' Silent Witness Over 'Woke Nonsense'

BBC's 'Silent Witness' is in hot water as viewers throw tantrums over what they're calling 'woke claptrap'! The crime drama's latest escapade, 'The Enemy Within,' sparked such online fury that some fans allegedly hit the off switch in protest. Wednesday night’s drama unfolded with a knife-edge plot implicating a racial attack, until a deepfake video twist turned the narrative on its head. But the forensic whodunnit has been mired in controversy, with die-hard fans ready to ditch the series, slamming the lead characters for morphing into cop wannabes. Social media erupted with scorn — one heated viewer blasted the BBC, declaring an end to their 'Silent Witness' days, decrying the show as 'woke bulls***.' Another disillusioned ex-fan raged against the script, accusing leftist fingerprints all over the storyline. While some brandished the hashtag #DefundTheBBC, others praised the show's compelling portrayals. Amid the chaos, actor David Caves teased a 'personal odyssey' in the series, leaving fans to guess whether his character is a gym-junkie or a murderer. Stay tuned to see if 'Silent Witness' can outsmart the cancellation culture or if it'll be the show's final curtain call!
