Mr P Aug 6 Poorly paced. Poorly acted, Poorly executed. A complete mess. Lead actor has literally no charisma to speak of. A complete lack of suspense leaves you completely uncaring of the outcome. One of the worst British Christie adaptations I have seen. See more Hugo I Jun 5 Great cast lacked gel to ride out this laborious, 5 episodes too long, unimaginative adaption with insipid poorly placed 'un-suspenseful' background music. And who can blame them, we all nearly did ourselves in watching this! See more TheRoblove11 @rob23456z 03/08/2025 BBC's 'And Then There Were None' 3 episode series about 10 years ago was The Best Agatha Christie adaptation I've ever seen. I loved it more than any other Christie movie or series adaptation. However, since then I'm yet to see any other BBC Agatha Christie adaptation that has the same quality, or even 25% of that quality. All of them over the years since that series all the way up to Towards Zero in 2025 have been so forgettable and drab, very poorly executed. See more Margaret G 08/17/2024 Screen adaptations for works by Agatha Christie are generally hit or miss. This presentation is a "mid-miss" - not terrible but not satisfying either. As a five decades-long fan of Ms Christie, I've watched at least 100 movies, TV series and miniseries of her works. I have little to no problem with changes to time frame, location, and even the identities of suspects... as long as they respect the tone and atmosphere of the original work. This offering did neither. It could have been made into a decent original story, though. See more Heidi E 07/12/2024 I just couldn't get past David Jonsson's distracting (smug...puzzled...over arched?) expression in almost every scene and kept wondering if someone had punched him in the eye just prior to filming. I'm not familiar with his previous work, so maybe this was a one-off. Penelope Wilton hooked me from the first scene on the train but after she was killed off, it quickly became apparent she was the only redeeming character in the series. Too bad. See more S N @shawn70 05/25/2024 I ignored the reviews and went for it. How bad can an Agatha Christie story be? Then I came back and saw the reviews had dropped even lower....for a reason. The main character spends most of the show with his one eybrow raised "hmmm...who could it be?". Typically, they throw the suspect on everyone along the way with a surprise ending, but this drags so horribly that the only payoff at the end, is that the show is over. This seemed like a bad high school presentation with all of the whodunit stereotypes. Should this have been redone? I don't see why, and I felt this was a total waste of time, unfortunately. I thought the reviews were being too critical, but they are dead on. See more Read all reviews
