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.

Andrei D The case is a little overwrought and the will they won't they is becoming tedious but there's still chemistry here Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Mary N Love the books & the tv series, especially the complexity of the cases investigated. The performances of the 2 lead characters continue to impress me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Robert K Excellent series with terrific chemistry between principals. JKRs online experience with bullies amd ignoramuses clearly informs the story Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Judith L Just a rather boring storyline, although acting is quite good. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Estella P Really loved the book and the actors were great but trying to cram the whole book into such a short series didn't work. Huge monologues by the characters trying to explain the various plot lines. Some thing went wrong in the editing as well - much of it just didn't make sense. Felt like I'd missed an episode. Needs to be 6 or 8 episodes at least. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Nick A I really liked the earlier series but this is just so dull and slow. Equally as the premise is based around a hit YouTube game and the BBC hasn't got vast budgets, the game is clearly naff with terrible graphics. Avoid.
