Sadly Over-hyped

Really Surprised!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

As a fan of the Cormoran Strike books, I looked forward to seeing them brought to life. But ultimately I felt like they were only half brought to life.It's hard to say what it is, exactly. I thought the leads were well cast. The first episode has a very stylish, intriguing intro. But the series just lacks personality. I watched all from the first book and found it nothing but watchable. The first book's strength was its more realistic portrayal of detective work as painstaking and detail oriented, but that is, unsurprisingly, flattened out in the adaptation. While the first series left me cold, I still watched the first episode of the second season, which comes from my favorite book in the series Once again, I just found it difficult to keep interested. I decided I would stop there.While perfectly watchable and fairly true to the series, it all just lacks something. I was never pulled into the characters lives or into the mysteries.

A leisurely, psychological and charming criminal series in the typical British spirit. Darker in tone than Commissioner Lewis, but nonetheless addictive. One can only but like Cormoran Strike and his smart and energetic helper. Kind of hope that they get together. Waiting impatiently for season 2 season!

If you like detective stories with a noir twist this one's for you. Well written, and very well acted, it will definitely make you curious about the end. I like the fact it's just three hours worth of story not drawn out over many episodes, helps if you want to watch it in one night without it feeling like a binge.

The first time I read 'The Cuckoo's Calling', I was pleasantly surprised by the unconventional detective and his assistant. This series lives up to every one of my expectations and more. Maybe because our very own talented witch is the executive producer. Giving a 9 because I think the Silkworm should have had 3 episodes too.
