2/5
In the absence of any interesting crime-solving to distract us, the actors’ excellence doesn’t transcend the frustration of their characters’ relationship not being allowed to progress. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 12/28/2024
The trouble with this series of Strike, and it was apparent in the last outing too, is that the will-they-won’t-they business is taking over. It is by far the most interesting show in town, largely because the pair are so good at it Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) 12/24/2024
3/5
What saves The Ink Black Heart from structural collapse is that... the chemistry between Strike and Robin powers along beautifully. Whatever else is going on, the star-crossed sleuths remain eminently watchable. Go to Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk 12/19/2024
3/5
With classy actors like Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger playing these potentially intriguing characters, you hope for more. In fact, these are the only two rounded characters in the series. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
