Strike: Lethal White Ending Explained

New DVD release, , , ,
Warning: contains major Strike: Lethal White spoilers. It’s fair to say that Strike: Lethal White didn’t have the most streamlined of plots. Condensing a 650-page novel with roughly the same number of characters into just four TV episodes produced a miniseries more squeezed than a carton of anti-depressant-laced orange juice. If you lost your bearings somewhere between the first ‘murder’, the multiple blackmails, the second murder, the secret affair, the valuable paintings, the inheritance scheme, the Zimbabwean war crimes scandal, and the long, tangled history between the families Chiswell, Knight and Winn, nobody could blame you. Take a look below…

Strike: Lethal White Episode 4 Review: a Tangled Ending Saved by Cast Chemistry

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Strike: Lethal White review contains spoilers. Put your hand up if the conclusion to Lethal White’s investigation left you nonplussed and the killer revelation felt by-the-by. Now put your other hand up if that’s basically fine because you couldn’t give a McVitie’s fig roll who murdered Jasper Chiswell, or why, or by what means.  Finally, take both hands down, make loose fists and draw a scruffy Cornish beard on one and the face of an English rose on the other, then smoosh them together while making kissy noises. Until the Troubled Blood adaptation arrives, that’s as good as we’re going…

Strike: Lethal White Episode 3 Review – an Overstuffed Case and a Personal Breakthrough

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Strike: Lethal White episode 3 review contains spoilers. Robin’s out of one trap (BYE-EE, Matthew!) but has she jumped straight into another? That cab driver wasn’t played by just anybody – behind the wheel was Annette Badland, a British TV face as recognisable as they come. Names like Badland’s aren’t cast to deliver wry one-liners and then disappear, which suggests that Robin’s being driven away by someone of significance in this story, a latecomer with skin in the game.  It’s a complex game, with a growing cast of characters. The investigation into the Chiswells drew yet more players out…

Strike: Lethal White Episode 2 Review – I Love You’s and Historical Clues

New DVD release, , , , , ,
This Strike: Lethal White Episode 2 review contains spoilers.  There goes that revenue stream. With Strike’s wealthiest client’s head plastic-wrapped like a fridge-ready ham, how will the agency afford somebody to answer the phones now? The more pressing question, of course, is who killed the old badger? There are more than enough people – including but not limited to his own wife and children – who’d presumably be happy to see Jasper Chiswell breathe his last. Not least among them Geraint Winn, the Labour MP whose fraudulent charity finances were exposed in episode two, giving Chiswell what he needed to…

Strike: Lethal White Episode 1 Review – the Wedding Fallout and a Westminster Scandal

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Contains spoilers for Strike: Lethal White Episode 1 The last time we saw Cormoran Strike, he was barrelling up the M1 on a traditional rom-com mission, but with a certain vagueness of purpose. Was he rushing to Robin’s wedding to give her back her old job, or to declare his love and stop her from saying ‘I do’? Whichever it was, she tied the knot and we didn’t see what followed. Two years later, our invitation to the reception has arrived.  What followed was pretty flagrant on Robin’s part. Dancing the first dance at her wedding to the lyrics ‘If…
