BBC Strike fans ‘totally lost’ as they make same demand about Ink Black Heart series

Strike viewers were left saying the same thing as the latest episode of the BBC show aired on Monday, December 23.

The latest series of the BBC show is based on the novel The Ink Black Heart, which is penned by J. K. Rowling, and published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. It follows the story of Cormoran Strike as he tries to solve crimes.

This series focuses on the shock murder of the writer of a cult YouTube cartoon called The Ink Black Heart. Before her death, she had met with Robin and explained that she was being harassed and threatened by someone, who she thought was the anonymous creator of an unofficial spin off game – but who is it and did they kill her?

As the latest episode aired, those tuning into the show took to social media to share their thoughts.

One fan wrote: “So many names. I’ve totally lost track of who everyone is! #Strike,” whilst a second added: ” #strike I’m lost with this storyline.” A third shared: ” #strike bbc1 #TheInkBlackHeart Can’t say I’m really understanding what this current Strike series is all about, not being into gaming or reading comics. Good acting throughout, no foul language but the storyline is for youngsters, presumably.”

However, others heaped praise on the series, describing it as “brilliant”.

“#Strike @BBCOne Loving the latest series #TheInkBlackHeart Amazing as always. Brilliant cast and great storyline,” one wrote, whilst another added: “Another great season of Strike. Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger have great chemistry. This season was definitely different from the rest, but the atmosphere and style were still quality. 10/10 series. #TheInkBlackHeart #Strike.”

Another penned: “Could you drop 4 more i really dont want to wait another 2 years #Strike #TheInkBlackHeart,” whilst a fourth wrote: “Every case ends with each season of Strike but the romantic intrigue just keeps intriguing. And I’m drowning in it. Help!”

For fans of the show, their favourite part is the budding romance between Cormoran and Robin.

Actress Holliday Grainger said of their romance: “Their relationship is so complicated and there’s a real fear of stepping over the line and there being a sense of no return. It’s written so well in the book, the breakdown of thoughts Robin has, of not knowing if he’s going to regret it in the morning, if he’s drunk a bit too much, or if this is not the right thing for him, and what it would mean for their business. It’s only afterwards that she’s like, ‘Oh, that could have been something, maybe I was overthinking it’.

“That moment makes her realise how she feels towards him properly for the first time, I think. But in that moment there’s also fear of rejection, and of losing what they have, which is friendship. Robin has very few close friends, which is a big element.”
