The only reason I am watching this show is the romance and relationship between Strike and Robin...without that, I would not be watching this whatsoever. The cases are longwinded, dull and sleep inducing.
So please stop teasing Strike and Robin, they have had so many moments where they could and should have made a move but it's become clear that their "will they won't they" phase is going to be milked to oblivion, probably because they know it's the only thing that is going to keep most viewers interested in watching.
Which is fair enough, but it's becoming unbelievable at this point. Their romantic and sexual tension is off the charts in every single scene, you can't keep that going forever, at least not in a believable fashion. My guess is that they will keep Strike and Robin sleeping around with others next season to prolong it further too...Not sure if I am willing to endure 90 percent boredom just for their moments together, even though they are an amazing couple with great chemistry.
Furthermore, the ending to this episode was pretty pathetic also. "You're my best friend..." Strike says to Robin as they both lovingly gaze in to each others eyes for the millionth time...give me a break. They are both single now, and clearly love each other very much and attracted to one another, so how long are you going to keep dragging it out?
Overall, not a bad season but 4 episodes per season are a joke. I wish they would have given the show it's own legs to stand on instead of going strictly by the books.
