Title: CB Strike
Review: One-legged war veteran turned private detective Cormoran Strike solves brutal murders with the help of his trusted assistant Robin Ellacott. This BBC produced version of the Robert Galbraith (JK Rowland) book series nails it- the casting, especially Burke and Grainger, is dead on, the setting and dialog jump out of the books. The two seasons cover the first three books in the series, with two more in production. Dark, gritty London and a swirl of underworld charters contrast with the extraordinary non-sexual intimacy of Strike and Robin. This series far exceeded expectations.
