Cuckoo's calling!

Thoroughly enjoyed it but needed subtitles. Great choice of actors. looking forward to Silk Worm.

I enjoyed it as well although a bit predictable. I will watch the next one.

Pogs I found it a bit weak at the end too just fizzled out
But I though Tom Burke rather appealing so will watch the next one

I thought the story line and ending was a bit weak to be honest and I was glad it was only a 3 parter.

However I do like Tom Burke and I found him rather handsome in the role of Dolokhov in the BBC War and Peace adaptation shown a while ago.

I always thought the actor Stacey Keach was a looker and Tom Burke reminds me of him.

Love the name. He's credible as the character in the book and Robin is great too. Tom Burke is definitely appealing.
I'm a bit worried about the hauntingly horrible violence in the other two books, I almost wished I hadn't read Silkworm.

Yes Swanny, the second story is apparently in 2 parts. Hope you enjoy the final part when thou get round to seeing it.

seacliff pleased to hear the second story starts soon, although I have yet to see the last of the first one due to something more important, ie dinner with my family

BTW (Spoiler coming up) fantastic camera work with the prosthetic leg.

Enjoyed it a lot.

Me too.

Nah, the place wouldn't have the ambiance all poshed up.

Really enjoyed that, very impressed with the two lead actors. Looking forward to the next instalment.

I want to get cracking on that office with a paintbrush and some Farrow & Ball!!

I had to put on sub titles tonight or I would not have understood much of what was going on.

Just finished the final part .... I really loved it (must be easily pleased as no one else seemed to). Great chemistry between Strike and Robin, a bit different.

I hadn't read the book. Very surprised and glad to hear that the second story, the silk worm, starts on 10 Sept.

I have just watched the first episode and so far enjoying it. Have not seen the two lead actors befor, they seem good choices for the part. Unusually I can remember from the book who killed the model, haven't a clue on the actual story though. At last something decent to watch on telly.

Indeed - I was very fond of him and his mac

But a crumpled dishevelled one.

Columbo wasn't a private detective but a police officer

I've read only the first book, saving the other two in my stash. Like Treebee I definitely thought there was a bit of Cormoran mumbling going on, and I'm hoping he will get less wooden .

I've seen both episodes and think Tom Burke is fine in the role, but the name is absurd and the downtrodden private dick is becoming a bit of a cliche, reminding me too much of Columbo and (dare I say it) Humphrey B playing Philip Marlowe in "The Big Sleep".

Perhaps I should give up the TV serial and read the book(s).........

Have read all 3 books and enjoyed them. I thought the two main leads were well cast. I need to rewatch the last one though, 9 pm's my nodding off time.

Watched this for twenty minutes and then turned tv off.
Thought it hackneyed, cliched, and boring.How many times are there dishevelled PI's with a tormented back story who like the booze and are born rebels.Too many.He had a missing leg which made him slightly different, but no charm to speak of.

I d never heard of Tom Burke either golden girl. I m guessing he's had an op for cleft palette when he was young but I find him quite interesting not sure why and quite enjoying the story I ve never read the books I didn't even realise Rowling wrote adult books

Loved the books and am enjoying Strike. But, is it just me, and I hesitate to say it, but is the actor playing Cormoran mumbling a bit?

I'm enjoying it. It's just that little bit different. I don't think I'd like to be a girl alone in that dim and dingy office. I'd not heard of Tom Burke before - I like his quiet persistence. And so he's not really got a prosthetic? It's really well done though after a while I thought I noticed that you see him and then the shot of his leg separately. Can't wait to find out who the person in the CCTV is. I've not read the book -yet!

Lucky you!
