Looking for a show like C.B. Strike?

TV Shows like C.B. Strike
If you've been following the blog, you know I am a *massive* fan of all things Strike and Robin - particularly Robert Glenister's reading of the Strike audiobook series. I've eagerly awaited every subsequent novel and, of course, TV adaptation.

If you're a fan of the C.B. Strike TV show, including its most recent installment, Lethal White (which is available in the U.S. now, in case you didn't know!), I've rounded up my top British detective shows like C.B. Strike, to keep up occupied until Book 6 (which I assume will arrive before Troubled Blood's eventual TV debut)!

Show like C.B. Strike: Dublin Murders

Shows like C.B. Strike - Dublin Murders
I actually found Irish-American author Tana French through the premier of this series in the U.S. Dublin Murders is the film adaptation of the first two of French's books, In the Woods and The Likeness. The series centers around detective partners Rob Ryan/Reilly and Cassie Maddox - and the will-they-won't-they has a very Strike and Robin flavor. You may recognize Rob - Killian Scott a.k.a. Eric Wardle from the Strike series.

If you love this series...don't get too attached. French's books change point-of-view characters with each novel, holding over only a few characters from the previous books. But "the Murder Squad" goes on, with its amazing office in Dublin Castle (pictured above), so there's much more to love, if you enjoy the series!

Show like C.B. Strike: DCI Banks

I've always felt DCI Banks didn't get the attention it deserves, in the "modern" British detective series. DCI Banks and Annie Cabbot bring the will-they-won't-they after they almost do in the first episode, before becoming coworkers. The individual murders are similar in tone to Vera, another favorite of mine. Expect mysteries taking place outside of London, focusing on one mystery for two episodes, and staring many of the "usual" faces in British detective series.

DON'T GOOGLE THIS SHOW. HUGE SPOILERS ABOUND.

Show like C.B. Strike: Bodyguard

Shows like C.B. Strike - Bodyguard
Bodyguard is a modern thriller, following a troubled combat veteran (Richard Madden, a.k.a. Rob Stark), who, amid his failing marriage, is assigned to protect a war hawk politician who advocated the conflict (Keeley Hawes). Expect twists, turns, high stress, quite a bit of violence and, of course, all of the tension.

Show like C.B. Strike: Murdoch Mysteries

Finding Murdoch Mysteries has been a bright spot for me in a very dark year! Travel to turn-of-the-century Toronto and follow the incredibly long will-they-won't-they of rigidly upstanding detective William Murdoch and his stunning genius of a coroner, Dr. Julia Ogden.

Show like C.B. Strike:
​Shakespeare & Hathaway

Shows like C.B. Strike - Shakespeare & Hathaway
Shakespeare & Hathaway is a recent find for me. Following the mystery solving adventures of their Stratford private detective agency, Shakespeare and Hathaway solve quirky, fun, and relatively easily solvable mysteries, in the vein of Agatha Raisin. Their phenomenal assistant, Sebastian, keeps things light, and you'll find yourself immersed in the incredible waddle & dab settings.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you find a show you'll love (nearly) as much as C.B. Strike, while we wait for the next installment! And if it's books you're after, check out Books like Cormoran Strike.

Love it? Pin it!
