Contains spoilers for Strike: Lethal White Episode 1
The last time we saw Cormoran Strike, he was barrelling up the M1 on a traditional rom-com mission, but with a certain vagueness of purpose. Was he rushing to Robin’s wedding to give her back her old job, or to declare his love and stop her from saying ‘I do’? Whichever it was, she tied the knot and we didn’t see what followed. Two years later, our invitation to the reception has arrived.
What followed was pretty flagrant on Robin’s part. Dancing the first dance at her wedding to the lyrics ‘If I could, then I would’ while locking eyes over her new husband’s shoulder with the man who really gets her, then abandoning that dance to run after the retreating figure of said man is almost enough to make you feel sorry for Matthew.
Except, it’s impossible to feel sorry for Matthew.

Given all the noise around Force of Nature, it’s hard to get at the movie itself, which on the surface is no more than a routine crime thriller set in San Juan, Puerto Rico during a Category 5 hurricane. What’s not routine is the tweetstorm of controversy ignited by the casting of Mel Gibson and Emile Hirsch, both actors with assault charges on their records, as white cops battling “Rican” villains against the carnage of Hurricane Maria. To say that a real-life tragedy deserves more respect than simply being...
