I turned it off after less than one minute. I think that might be a new record. They did a good job at sucking cause it’s rare to hate something so quickly. Lo and behold I look at the comments and everyone agrees - it’s crap. And what’s up with the main character’s sleepy eye? Serious creepy willies inducing stuff. Why the heck would you hire a sleepy eyed weirdo as the main character? Does the character in the A.C. book have a sleepy eye? I doubt it. Go see an Optomologist buddy. Do it for us if you won’t do it for yourself…

This show has 3 episodes of 44 minutes. in Traktv only 2. It's an error. How I can notify about this?

This is a confused, brief (2 part!) miniseries based on an Agatha Christie novel set something like 15 years before the miniseries itself is set. It’s a mess and not worth your time. I am not opposed to colour-blind casting in fiction films. But with period pieces, I think it’s necessary to make a choice. This novel, which I have not read, concerns a retired English police officer in the late 1930s. This miniseries concerns a young Nigerian man in the 1950s. It’s very clear from how this “show” unfolds that they should have just cast the actor, made a change about his age and job, and dropped anything about the origins of his character. They just could have kept it colour-blind instead of making it a part of the plot. Because, here’s the thing: not only does this British village not resemble a lot of British villages in 1954 (I suspect) in terms of how relatively diverse the main characters are, it also does not feel in any way representative of a British village confronted with a crusading Nigerian man in 1954. It rings completely hollow. It rings completely hollow because the racism is so mild. Some of it isn’t even racism, it’s perceived racism! And there is overt racism, it comes more often from the Londoners (seriously!) and the educated. This is…really, really weird. Maybe there’s something I don’t know about small British villages; maybe they are historically less racist than the big city. I am a white man and cannot tell you this from personal experience but the stereotype is that rural places are worse than the city for outsiders, whether we’re talking about racism specifically for broader xenophobia. I can say that the few times I’ve travelled in rural areas with people of colour, it felt different even to me. (The London cops think he’s a bad apple but few others do.) A show like this that’s going to show that a village is a less racist place to a Nigerian man in 1954 than London has got some work to do explaining why. The best they come up with is an old white British man who speaks a bit of a few languages from Nigeria who just happens to live here. Right. That’s the first glaring problem that just hovers over this whole thing. The other problem is the death toll. I don’t know what it is in the novel but it’s huge in this miniseries. I joked they should call in the army and Jenn joked there wouldn’t be any people left in the village by the end of episode two. The script isn’t great and certainly the acting isn’t the best. This isn’t the best cast Christie adaptation though I have zero issues with the lead and the lord is kind of fun (though the actor does feel like he’s channelling a more famous British actor of a similar age). There are other problems but I mostly spent the whole thing confused as to why the outside was barely being treated like an outsider. I just think they missed the boat here. By all means, cast these three people of colour for your Agatha Christie adaptation. But either just cast them and let them perform or rewrite the story so that it actually makes sense given what the audience knows and assumes about England in 1954. The National Front was founded 13 years later!

This comes across as a poor parody. Such a poor production.
