So much wasted time on filler. This could've been so much better. This was acceptable at best.
After a few loose adaptations, the latest one based on an Agatha Christie novel follows the classic canons, with a varied cast and a mystery set in a mansion. And although it manages to bring together good actors, it wastes some like Anjelica Huston. But the slow pace, the insipid dialogues, interpreted as if the actors were reading an audiobook, and the dark, greenish-blue tone of the cinematography, make it look like an old and anachronistic crime drama.
Boring. Couldn't be bothered to watch beyond the 1st episode. Love Agatha,huge fan but this one seems like the family pulled it from the bin just to have something to publish.
it was a slow story (I've not read the novel so no grounds for comparison) , nice acting worth for a light binge watch. worth a watch.
5.5: Great cast. Love the shots overlooking the sea. Slow burn of a story. Could have been better but a fine watch.
