Please share a link where you can watch this series with translation or subtitles. I can't find it anywhere...

It is a pity that time was spent on a scene about Strike's sex that was unimportant for the plot and characters of the characters, and the chemistry between Strike and Robin is not revealed at all in the series.

Because it's not there yet.) At least according to the books, chemistry will appear later.) Strike generally still has to worry about Charlotte.)

It was revealed in the book that Strike appreciated Robin's attractiveness, but was glad that she was engaged so that it would not affect their working relationship.

The second episode didn't even come in... after a more or less good pilot, somehow everything is completely boring and not serious. well, a very sluggish investigation, no atmosphere and heat, it's not interesting to find out who the killer is. GG is also indistinct. well, it's clear that it's British, but remember the same Broadchurch, a good detective dark and stylish came out. in short, from the authors of Harry Potter, nothing else was to be expected))

@Oleg_Donetsk: the book also has a hellish failure in the middle, but the ending should please)

Interesting! I hope Robin will still work for Cormoran :3

The series lacks warmth and good dialogue

But in general, the picture is good
And the main characters are well chosen, that's what captivates me to look further, I believe them

For the second series in a row, I've been puzzling over why the actress playing Tansy seems so familiar to me.
Oh, this amazing British communal apartment!

@vauxhall_cross: She played the wife of Stannis Baratheon from Game of Thrones

@id88687794: I didn't watch Game of Thrones, but I watched The Musketeers, where she played Marie de' Medici.

A great British TV series. It is British.

How badly Evan was picked up. I remember he was handsome in the book.
It 's better not to take off this wolf mask 😂

@Мария_Ко: truuu

@Mariya_ko: Yeah, I actually laughed when Kiara told Strike that Evan wasn't her type because he was a pretty boy.

Evan's supposed to be handsome, but why does he look like a rat?

@SophietheValiant: plus, try to find such a freak again

Overall, it's not bad, I like it, but Evan's really fucked up.

28 Jul 2022, 16:12 #

Evan and Charlotte are a complete miskast in general. And for these characters, appearance is still important. Lucy doesn't look like herself, but she definitely got into character. The detective, of course, had to be cut back...

31 Aug 2023, 14:13 #

God, Evan, that's scary)))) Wasn't there anyone prettier? Considering that he's handsome in the book..

In general, they are going well, however, some details are being changed and reversed.
And, of course, there is not enough reasoning, conversations, everything is somehow crumpled.

And what did the filmmakers dislike about the book version of the absence of a guard on duty? why put him in the pool?)

16 Nov 2023, 13:35 #

@juliakey: I see a lot of parallels with Sherlock in the series, and the pool is just important there) and it's just cinematic, and it wasn't so easy / wasn't (I haven't read it yet)

12 May 2024, 22:30 #

Apparently, they decided that the pool would be more cinematic than diarrhea. Well, it's not really that important, it doesn't affect the plot. But at the same time, the guard himself said in the book that she was absent, and here only Strike knows. And he slept with the model from the book after he found out about his ex's engagement. It is not clear why these details were changed. And why did Rochelle suddenly spend the whole day with Lula when it wasn't like that in the book, why isn't that blue leaf in the plot, why wasn't the laptop given to charity when it wasn't like that either?

24 Aug 2024, 23:30 #

The plot development is very different from the book. It's as if they took a vase, broke it into small pieces and made another vase out of them... There is an investigation going on in the book - logically, consistently, the tangle is unraveling. The film has chaotically sketched scenes, confusion. They also changed the characters of some of the characters. It is unclear why. I would like a film adaptation closer to the original, but who will undertake to reshoot ((

09 Nov 2024, 23:20 #

And I like the way this series was filmed. Everything is going the same way as in the book, it is very pleasing😌
