Robin looks rough this season
Wondering why. Was it a deliberate choice?
shareHer divorce must be taking a toll
sharethat is exactly what I was thinking too. and it does follow with logic. so maybe they did that deliberately.
i sure wish the seasons were released closer together. I hate waiting two years for four more episodes which I watch in one day lol
Yea, she's wearing little to no makeup and her hair is darker. She isn't doing the perky, bouncy walk. Her voice is also different at times. I noticed it for the first time in the scene when she is leaving Matthew. It sounds like she's drunk about 100 bottles of scotch and smoked twice as many ciggies, but it's probably just deep emotional pain. I think all of these changes can be explained by the strain of the divorce.
To contrast, Strike is getting better looking. He looked great in Career of Evil to me, and then Troubled Blood came along to top that. Maybe it's some symbolic representation of his growing love for Robin. Or maybe it's just hard for a slender man like Tom Burke to stay large over years and years to fulfill a role.
How right you are about the frustrating wait between seasons. I'm starting the books soon. Maybe that will help.
if you get a chance please update me on your experience with the books. i'd like to know your take on them. thanks
