Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger in C. B. Strike (2017)

Review by krisnadexter

C. B. Strike

7/10

Enjoyable For Book Reader

I have read the novels and I like them very much. When I heard there will be TV series adaptation I was excited. After watching it I have to say this series quite good.

I really like the actor playing as Cormoran Strike. He is a bit different than what I imagined in the book, he's better looking. And the actress playing as Robin is just as good. She's not far away from the novel description.

The acting and the cinematography is good enough. My personal favorit moment is in Career of Evil. When I finished the novel my mind started singing Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. And to my surprise in the ending of that episode they play the song.

But after second thought, maybe I like this because I already read the story. And the series just confirm the visual that I have in mind while reading. Because if I've never read the novel and watching this, I might not really engaged by the story.

The novel depict detective works in detail. How Cormoran unveil the crime layer by layer. These things didn't portrayed good enough in screen. There are things that's missing. And viewers who haven't read the novel might get confused.

So the conclusion is, as a detective series this is quite good. As a novel adaptation this series is enjoyable.
