A review by MovieGuys
Written by MovieGuys on 2025-01-31
The first five seasons of UK crime series,"CB Strike", are quite frankly, brilliant.

The crime tales which occupy a season of six episodes each are well crafted, complex and compelling, as are the intricate, inherently human and wholly relatable, characterisations.

Strike who runs a UK detective agency is a cold gruff, sleuthing cliche. Yet, but as we come to know and understand him, it becomes clear he's a departure from everything he superficially appears to represent. His female partner, balances out Strike,drawing out the softer, kinder, somewhat tragic, side of his character.
