In what order should I be watching these? I am just down loading them, they are all available for 6 months and I haven't watched any yet.

TIA

Er, in series order? Why do you think otherwise?

endofthelinefinally · 16/12/2020 07:45

Thank you. I did look it up and found it on the RT site. BBC I player doesn't give the series order., Just the names.

How weird. I picked up this series in September and it was definitely in order. Mmm.
It’s very good.

It is probably because I have only just found it. I wanted to be sure I started with the first series because I understood there was a bit of a back story with the main characters.
It isn't a big deal and obviously if my question annoys people there is no need to respond.
The RT website clearly shows the correct order, so all is fine.
Those of us who have been shielding since March are beginning to lose the plot a bit. Grin

The first book is Cuckoos Calling. I think that was two TV programmes. Then The Silkworm , Career of Evil then Lethal White.
The new book, Troubled Blood, has not been filmed yet.
I would recommend watching in order but be aware the TV adaptations only cover a fraction of the books content. I cant recommend reading the books highly enough. Enjoy!

Thank you. I am just getting back to reading again. I have been very unwell for a while. Watching stuff is easier, but I used to read a lot so I need to get back to it.

Endoftheline I’ve recently discovered audio books. A way to read when you can’t manage to read?
And yes. I know just how little sense that made. Blush

endofthelinefinally · 16/12/2020 21:29

It makes perfect sense. Grin

@endofthelinefinally well then it’s about the only sentence I’ve managed today that does. Grin
Bloody fibro fog. Confused

I know. I was on meds that gave me terrible brain fog for a year. I would read a page, turn over and completely fail to remember what I had read. I was happy watching the same programmes on Netflix several times though. Those meds made me so sick I had to stop them. Just as well really.

You’re doing better than me. Often I can’t manage a paragraph! Blush
It’ll pass!
Enjoy Strike.
Casting is off though. He should be bigger and gruffer and ever so slightly more menacing!

Thank you.

I am listening to Lethal White as I browse MN, I have them in book form too.

OP I Do hope you enjoy them, they are excellent.

I was really poorly after CV19 and found audio books so useful. Still suffering from
Exhaustion so I veer between actual reading and listening

There's a wikipedia page where they list them if that helps to remember.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_(TV_series)

Although I often find the wikipages quite confusing in their layout!

Series 1: The Cuckoo's Calling (2017)

Series 2: The Silkworm (2017)

Series 3: Career of Evil (2018)

Series 4: Lethal White (2020)
