![]() And if you haven't but like British detective shows and are not too demanding, it'll be right up your alley. Still, on the basis of casting alone, it's a satisfying adaptation, so if you've liked the novels, you should still check it out. A way more dynamic direction and/or a more eclectic score or original cinematography would definitely have been welcome, spicing up those episodes a little. Rowling's signature writing but Strike lacks a distinctive voice. The novels at least had the very addictive J.K. War veteran turned private detective Cormoran Strike solves brutal murders with the help of his trusted partner Robin Ellacott. Tom Burke (The Crown) leads this crime-mystery series as a war veteran turned private detective, using the pain and experience he gained in the military to solve some of Londons most complex crimes. It doesn't feel necesary as it doesn't add anything to the genre, instead looking like dozens of British detective shows that have come before. Strike: With Tom Burke, Holliday Grainger, Kerr Logan, Jack Greenlees. How to watch online, stream, rent or buy CB Strike in New Zealand + release dates, reviews and trailers. The whole enterprise doesn't have much personality either. There are sooooo many shots of Cormoran walking that I feel like the episodes would last half as long if you cut those scenes out. The characters are very likable, but the execution of the story and the direction are way too conventional for a story that is in itself already very conventional. Unfortunately, I think that if I wasn't familiar with the characters, I probably wouldn't have watched past the first episode. There are a lot of early references to events that we don't learn about until the later books, which are fun. Having already read the story, it's entertaining to see how they've adapted it. Now, do I like the show? I'm still on the fence.
