I looked up Rafi Solaiman, too, and I was so happy to see they cast a disabled actor for the role. All too often, nondisabled actors are cast to play disabled characters. I hope he'll do some more acting!

Great review. I think TIBH series is very good. So far I haven’t really missed anything that was in the book except Madeline. I’m so relieved they included Robin jumping on the train track. A great scene.

I will happily sacrifice Madeline if it also means we are spared Bijou.

Love the use of "Rotten Egg"!

I agree that Yasmin was perfectly cast. Rachel Ledwell looked a little bit younger than I had imagined, though the personality was definitely the same.

I really do wish they had made Madeline an on-screen character. The phone calls and oblique references don't really do her justice, and that relationship really did have a meaningful impact on Strike.
