Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

petsie-24409 Looked to me as if Rowling produced this, didn't write it. Am I mistaken? It is developing some different characters in settings from seedy to extraordinary. City life is a worldwide phenomenon. You cross a few streets and go from one world to the next. So noticeable in Chicago, where I was a child, to Los Angeles, San Francisco, et al. Having a main character who seems comfortable in these contradictions, adds to to intrigue.

Paul Evans It feels like ages since we've had a Private Investigator series on mainstream TV, enter Cormoran Strike, from a series of books penned by J.K. Rowling. I have to admit my expectations were high, and after ten minutes of watching The Cuckoo's Calling I realised I wasn't to be let down. This series is absolutely incredible, of course the plots and production values are impeccable as would be inspected, but it's the performances and character play that are the key. Tom Burke, always a quality actor, has possibly found his star role as Strike, he is absolutely brilliant, as is Holliday Grainger, the pair work beautifully together.I can't decide if I preferred The Cuckoo's calling or the Silkworm, both are superb. Awesome guest performances from Sian Phillips, Monica Dolan, Tara Fitzgerald, Martin Shaw, Tim McInnerny, and a huge shout out to Leo Bill.Bring on Career of Evil. 10/10

ahalool2001 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.

gangulyneellohit 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.
