Fans complained that there weren't enough episodes of JK Rowling's Cormoran Strike
The first adaptation of Rowling's Cormoran Strike novels (written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith) was a three-episode affair, but follow up The Silkworm and latest adaptation Career of Evil are both just two episodes long.
Fans have been gripped by Career of Evil part one and already wish they could have even more time with Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger's Strike and Robin.
"Totally adore the TV adaptations, the casting is sublime," wrote Sue Bridgland. "I just wish they had all been three parts and that she would write more."
"Best drama on TV by far," added Jan Neale. "Great casting and perfect adaptation. More please."
Maggie Wright does make a very good point, though: "Initially I said 'yes, more please' but it's so special, like a really tasty dessert that if there was more it wouldn't be such a treat."

David Tennant got everybody VERY excited about Good Omens
The Doctor Who star is playing a devilish rogue in the TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's novel and he's really hyping it up.
“It’s quite hard tonally to get a grip on what Good Omens is, because it’s this very unique world that comes from Terry and Neil’s novel and from the scripts, which Neil has adapted pretty faithfully from that novel,” Tennant told The Herald.
“I think it’s quite unlike anything I’ve ever been in before and possibly anything many people have seen before.
"I hope it lives up to the book," wrote a cautious Gareth Buckley on Facebook.
Author Neil Gaiman certainly seems to think it will because he sang Tennant and his co-star Michael Sheen's praises on Twitter.
"I hired the best Scottish actor of his generation, and the best Welsh actor of his generation, and could not imagine having a better Crowley and Aziraphale," he said.
