Based on the best-selling novels by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling), Tom Burke ("The Musketeers") stars as private detective Cormoran Strike, a former war veteran now working out of a cramped London office. Together with his assistant, Robin Ellacott, Cormoran tackles cases that have, so far, baffled the police. Though struggling with the psychological and physical toll that combat have wrought on him, Cormoran is well-equipped to delve into complex conundrums thanks to his background as a Special Investigation Branch investigator.

4/5
Ultimately, C.B. Strike is formulaic, and approaches investigations using old-fashioned smarts. But while it's not the most action-packed, it delivers an engaging adaptation of J.K. Rowling's stories that fans of good crime-solving tales will enjoy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Simon C 01/08/2025 Loved this series! a strong plot with great “love story” undercurrents really make this a must watch for me. Not much action but enough to support the plot and a lot going on to keep the brain amused. See more Luz V 10/27/2024 Tom burke is incredible, série amazing. See more Rochelle M 10/25/2024 Love the series. Hope they continue the tv series with the books. See more Andrei D 12/21/2023 Needs even more time to breathe See more fred v 09/01/2023 Pretty dreadful paint-by-numbers crime story with must-have woke stickers all over it, from lesbian couple to misogynistic Scouser sending dick picks. Lost the plot early on and I still haven't figured out why Strike needs to have a missing limb and weirdly intermittent Cornish accent. Directed by Susan Tully and it had a woman's touch all over it. Tully would be better off directing traffic. See more Diane M 08/07/2023 Great introduction to the series. Compelling story and excellent acting. Plus, scenes of London ain't bad, See more Read all reviews
