Andrei D 12/05/2023 Still decent, little else See more Nancy M @nmack 05/06/2023 Really good script and wonderful performances. Every season is must-see. 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 Russell W 03/14/2023 Enjoying the will they/won't they. Sometimes that's more absorbing than the mystery itself. Good stuff. See more tom m 08/15/2022 A good cinematic depiction of J.K. Rowiing's (under the penname Robert Galbraith) series. The lead actors inhabit the roles quite well. I look forward to more seasons. See more arya s 06/09/2021 There is something very comforting, even nostalgic, in the ordinariness and the straightforwardness of this show, which means the stories are driven by plot and character and not cheap manipulations. Channeling a Raymond Chandler style brooding detective, Strike lives a spartan lifestyle, sleeping on a cot in his office. He doesn't have a gun or a car, so there are no obligatory shoot outs or car chase scenes. He doesn't even have one of his legs, which makes running after the bad guys with his prosthetic leg a challenge, which he often loses. But assisted by his lovely and devoted fearless partner, Strike solves his cases through his spot-on instincts and solid sense of self. Reticent and not especially witty, it is all the more moving when he does have moments of showing his deeper emotions. His very ordinary face and rumpled coat start to grow on you with each episode. A side benefit: a glimpse of lots of London pubs and restaurants. See more 12/04/2018 Best of the three so far. What made it great was the deeper digs into the character and lives of the main two roles. Can't wait for the next. See more Read all reviews
