Strike (2017)
Series matches books!
I have read all of the six Strike books and am currently watching the latest TV series, Troubled Blood. I love the books and have found that the actors, Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, perfectly match Robert Galbraith's (aka J. K. Rowing) descriptions and characteristics. Of course one of the continuation thread throughout is the question of when will they finally get together. This part of the books is perfectly portrayed as you understand what they are both feeling and thinking but without admitting this to each other.
One continuity issue (the only one) in the tv series is that the Defender driven by Robin in the first 4 series bears a different numberplate to that in the 5th series though tge vehicle looks otherwise identical! I have a career as a detective obviously!!
Three Day Millionaire (2022)
Tremendous British black comedy thriller!
My husband and I saw this film on Tuesday in Beverley, hadn't heard anything about it previously but had seen most of other films showing. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish, very similar to films I grew up watching in the late 1960s. The cast were fabulous, particularly liked the way James Burrows' character talked to 'us' the audience, made it seem more realistic! Didn't see the end coming either! The Waterboys soundtrack was very fitting for the film beginning with Fisherman's Blues and ending with The Whole of the Moon. The latter is 'our' song so we were last out as had to sit and listen whilst the credits rolled!
