Eugenia-alana M @RT98931249 02/18/2025 C.B. Strike seasons 1-3 was solid with cast, characters, and plots to keep me happily following the story. Season 4 however, was s complete letdown The story plot was weak and convoluted--unusual for this series...Cormoran Strike's character just seems sadder and sadder--it's hard to watch his character trajectory. Robin is getting more radical and less believable... And their chemistry is dragging on and on towards nothing. Sadly, as much as I wanted it to, season 4 just did not deliver.

The story lines are great, Robin and all her "make overs" & voice changes are great... She really makes a great Detective that Strike can't seem to control, they work very well together... I wish they would finally get together. I haven't seen where Season at 5 is listed on American Max as yet and anxiously awaiting. (I thought I read last week the show was cancelled and really hope it's not true)...

Tom Burke has a strong screen presence. The plots are interesting and not at all predictable. We're hooked. Looking forward to season 6! And beyond… See more pj m @RT55555596 02/13/2022 More, please. Definitely want more seasons, or at least one more. See more 10/17/2021 Great acting, striking melodrama, with lots of UST Just finished watching (rewatched episode 4 as I'd missed some labyrinthine elements of ep 3). Series 4 is all about unresolved sexual tension (UST) , impressively maintained through 4 hours. In ep 4 Corm gives Robin a hug and accidental brush kiss, with wonderful acting. UST has powered some great movies and TV, but series 4 lays it on thick. The intricate plot has skeletons in the closet of an upper-class family, with various activities which would not be good PR. In the usual manner of BBC series, it's anti-establishment, and intricate: not as good as the first three series. Still I guess that moneyed folks make more interesting drama than non-moneyed classes. This 4 hours is a really "the perils of Robin" with her having the majority of the action and focus (although this is not "Killing Eve" or "Nikita" and the series is titled CB Strike). After every peril, we move on with more UST. Corm's arcs seem to focus on the women who love him and who he doesn't, while his UST for Robin continues to build. Tom Burke does a great job of suggesting the sadness/longing: he doesn't need to say much with that face and eyes doing the acting. To be fair, I guess the team wanted to go beyond a private detective procedural, with the private lives of the protagonists as well as all the suspects. But, series 4 releases Robin from her marriage: great setup up for series 5-10. Excellent visuals: this is not the bright London or England of the movies, but somewhat grungy, low key and low light. That said, the locations are wonderful, a delight to anyone who's been to London 1 to 25 times, or never. Actors fantastic, the leads Holliday (What a name!) and Tom: Robert Glenister as unlovely cabinet minister is tremendous. One thing's for sure, we'll all be waiting for the next book and series to see whether Corm and Robin finally connect on a personal as well as a professional level. Couples movies like Nick and Norah Charles series and Mr and Mrs Smith show a couple emotionally as well as professionally can play well as a drama. But Scully and Mulder didn't kiss until series 7 See more Read all reviews
