Totally brilliant writing and totally brilliant acting. Their simmering passion is amazing to watch. And this clip encapsulates it perfectly.

[@georgeakins]

Just watched this clip again, and it's insanely good. The intensity of their longings for one another is captured perfectly. Flawless editing ❤

It's 15 December 2024, and Comoran and Robin are about to set off on a new adventure together, so I thought I'd have a reminder of where their complex relationship sits presently. And, if im honest, just enjoy this brilliant montage of their relationship one more time.

[@fubster]

Their chemistry is insane

Love this show so much, ❤️just want more and more. Perfect casting.

[@sammi_23]

I’ve never seen or heard of this show but, I watched this whole video! It was the cutest thing ever! BUT, the whole time I was screaming how are they not together already!! Like, the moments are crazy undeniable. I binged the whole series in like 3 days, and I’m obsessed😭 I understand the slow burn but, I can’t imagine being a fan from the beginning and still waiting for like 6 years for it!! I can’t wait for the next season, thanks for giving me a new show obsession 💗💗

[@heyellaberlin]

You’re welcome! 😃

[@dkd1228]

I think RG/JKR has her audience figured out pretty well. Reading the novels will give you an idea as to why they're not together. There is a lot of information concerning this. The audiobooks, read by Robert Glenister, are outstanding. I am obsessed with Strike and Robin's relationship. The end of book 7 (The Running Grave) knocked the wind out of me.

[@imisstoronto3121]

Thank for all the hard work you put in to this. I love crime mysteries, but we all know what we are here for really. I'm in the final third of the running grave at the moment, and I don't want it, or the series, to end.

Huge fan of the books, and while the scenes adapted here don't hold a candle to the original ones, the actors' onscreen chemistry is still so sweet! Also I'm in the middle of reading book 7, and now that Strike has lost weight I think I can finally picture him as this version.😂

[@dkd1228]

The end of book 7 knocked the wind right out of me.

[@leljii]

I'm in the start of reading book 3 ☺ I imagined Strike so much different also. 😅 Bigger and with curlier more chaotic hair 😂 won't even start to watch 1 season till the end of that book. 🙃 It will be as a desert for great books

It's really well made, an amazing adaptation. I'm looking forward to the next seasons - and to the next book. I actually think the latest book was the best so far, and I really enjoyed all of them a lot. Amazing reads.

I just watched furiosa and I’m OBSESSED

[@alexandregingras1622]

I love their chemistry, and their actors do an excellent job portraying that on screen 12:03: And......here is the reason my hatred for Matthew is permanent.

[@susivarga7303]

Matthew was not exactly a bastion of integrity but that relationship should have ended a long time ago ( leaving your partner after an SA is worse than anything bit she used him too for comfort ) and she picked Corm over him when his mother passed. And lied to him. She was not exactly a loyal partner either, she was on her way out after taking the job with the agency but was not brave enough to talk to him. Marrying him was HER mistake. And she led Cormoran on. They should have peacefully separated after the SA and he should have been a supportive friend to her.

[@firstmorningdew]

21:18 😭🥰🫠 and the look on his face "Well she didn't slap me" 😅 My brother is in love with this show. He watches it every day after he comes home after work (he is 55, the HR director of a well known company), chilling on the couch. His wife accompanies him but not interested in the series so much. I've known Tom Burke from The Musketeers and said "Wow, I like him. Is this a new show?" and he said "No, it's been almost 7 years". Then I saw Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga last week and wow!!! *spoilers* . . . . . . You should see the relationship between the Praetorian Jack and Furiosa 😍 And I'm here😅

[@stephbrotherton6265]

The ending of the series where they walk off together (friends) and he ALMOST touches her back...oh my soul, I was hoping he would just kiss her...

they are in love each other since they first meet, in the ink black hearth they finally acepted that felling but dont confeced because they dont wont to lose his friendship

[@bjarias]

... series 6 was good, not rating as highly as some of the others... season 7 from all early talk should be really good ... now in a relationship with that police-detective she meet past season... Strike's pinning for her once again, now finally admitting he wants her ... then this new upcoming series deals with a charismatic, attractive, cult-leader... "on-assignment".. she infiltrates the cult, far away from the agency for a lengthy stretch of time... so this could kinda be like an odd-4-way... very interesting indeed

[@kellyjeter7524]

Don’t you think it is starting to get silly that 2 people that love each other like they do keep staying apart.. wouldn’t you at some point want to be with the one you love

[@raywcksn]

@@kellyjeter7524 speaking from experience, it’s not always that easy 😅 especially when you already have close relationships with that person (be it friendship or partnership) before you both realize that you actually romantically attracted with each other. Trying to date your friend is almost like gambling. You put your previous relationship with that person on betting table. If it works, you won the best romance in your life. But if you failed you lose great person in your life and a friendship.

[@kousetsuhana]

except they don't and she's only saying that to justify stretching it out and keeping the readers on the hook to sell more books... it's been long enough, there is no reason left to keep them apart, they should have gotten together in the last book.
