It’s good, competent meat-and-two-veg noir. Some acting on the undercard is a bit teaky, but there are flavoursome cameos.

Troubled Blood’s epic runtime only accentuates the artifice of the pair [Cormoran and Robin] circling longingly, and when romantic developments do haltingly come, they too have the air of a throwback, namely the carefree English romcoms of the 90s. But it’s not enough to distract us from the thought that really, Strike is a Sunday-night detective like all the others.
