In my top 5 comedy series,they don’t make them like that now,watching motherland probably funniest thing at the moment.

Just going to settle down with a big glass of wine and watch the last two episode of Strike: Troubled Blood.  Tom Burke is as excellent as ever as Strike, and Holliday Grainger is absolutely superb as Robin.  The actress who plays the missing Dr Bamborough is very good too.  ETA: Just looked her up; her name is Abigail Lawrie.

 

Thoroughly enjoying this, even though I know who the bad guy is from reading the book.  I don't think the first two episodes gave too much away, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they play the big reveal.

Same here Hecate, apart from the wine and not having read the book

Thank you Hecate (for the misdirection) 

I thought I'd got it right (or near enough) 

Misdirection seems the appropriate word here, was there anyone the storyline didn't point the finger at?

Great entertainment with some comedic moments worth mentioning.

Not a spoiler, but loved the moment Strike asks the (careful, Rocker) 'Homeless person' for a cigarette, sits down and then orders a take-away for them both 🤣 

 

Well worth watching 

 

Below, not a 'spoiler more of an observation 🤣

 

Spoiler

 

Where else were they going to find Robin Askwith ?

I didn't guess the bad guy when I read the book, and I don't think I would have done so if I'd watched the tele version knowing nothing about the story.  Having read the book late last year it was fun to spot where the clues had been hidden on screen and see the cunning use of 'don't look at that!  Look at this!'

 

I thought it was very well done indeed; though again, it really zipped along (by necessity; the book is huge!) and I'm not entirely sure if, at the very end,  Strike's thought processes were made really clear as he worked out whodunnit.  Nice 'letting out the inner evil' moment though.  Properly chilling,

 

Looking forward to the adaptation of The Ink Black Heart.  That book is the best of the series, with twists and turns twisting and turning like a twisty turny thing, including one of the best and most well-plotted twists I've ever read.  Will be interesting to see how they deal with filming big chunks of it, as it's essentially a tale of the rotten heart of online communities and social media and as such makes substantial use of transcripts, Twitter posts and what not.

 

Really recommend reading the books to see how cleverly they pare these tales down to their core, and catch up on the stuff that didn't make it to the screen.
