      Audience Reviews for Ordeal by Innocence: Miniseries

      • Mar 10, 2022
        A brilliant cast is wasted on a poor adaptation of Ordeal By Innocence. First of all, many changes were made to the characters and the story for no good reason and the ending was completely disappointing as the killer's identity was changed as well. What's the point of adapting Christie's novel if they were just going to change everything?
      • Dec 28, 2021
        What you would expect from an Agatha Christie story. Reasonably well done. I enjoyed it.
      • Jun 27, 2020
        Second best only to and then there was none and that's saying something
      • May 07, 2020
        Very unsatisfying, and this from a huge period drama fan. Despite numerous flashbacks to one dysfunctional family interaction after another, never answers the central question of what's motivating the parents. Not a likable character in the bunch. The cast is great, and includes many favorites of mine, but the screenwriter left the original Christy novel in the trash, and offered only a pale imitation of it instead.

        I’ve never read any novels by Christie or seen any movies/shows based on her work but after seeing Ordeal of Innocence I was truly impressed. Top notch who done it, great twists and misdirection of who the murderer is. It also has great acting to boot. This has definitely made me more open to Agatha Christie stuff in the future...
      • Dec 14, 2018
        This three-part series is the best-adapted Agatha Christie mystery in recent memory. A well-casted character study of a family full of secrets, the series will have you fooled until the shocking reveal...
      • Sep 14, 2018
        This series is wonderfully done. I'm sure that the three-part allowed the series to develop on its own pace.
      • Sep 01, 2018
        Get a vocabulary! Nobidy cusses like this unless they are gangsters or rappers. Def no white peeps over a certain age. These kids sound like they are trying to impress other 17 year olds. Ehk... get an imagination and come up with some other words besides F*CK would ya please?!
      • Sep 01, 2018
        Brilliant twisted plot with very good production.
      • Aug 31, 2018
        Bill Nighy stars in this.. So what else do I have to say? Okay, so outside of the fact, that he is one of my favorite actors. “Ordeal by Innocence”, is worthy of being made as a miniseries, rather than as a film. Giving the plot and characters more time to develop. The acting as would be expected, is very good and professional. Also, it was nice to be introduced to an Agatha Christie mystery that I had never seen before.
