-
New star Mia McKenna-Bruce makes a charming amateur sleuth in a mishmash mystery, needlessly extended into three parts.
-
Dial in for an unexpected treat in this lesser-seen Agatha Christie story, which comes to life every time Mia McKenna-Bruce appears to share her observations and a wry quip.
-
It's a passable few hours of entertainment, with a gloss and level of performance above the norm, but it's not a mystery on the level of even the middling Christie adaptations - making the ticking clock metaphor surprisingly apt.
-
Netflix's adaptation of Agatha Christie's Seven Dials takes a passably entertaining murder mystery and tries to raise its emotional stakes with mixed results.
-
If you have neither read the original book nor care about the changes, this is a diverting three-parter. Christie purists may feel differently. The ending is completely new.
-
It is a handsome distraction from ugly things happening around the world but I still hanker for a Marple or a Poirot.
-
Too slow to be riveting and too needlessly drawn out, it's a run-of-the-mill adaptation of one of Christie's most run-of-the-mill novels, and the strongest proof that not every work from the renowned author warrants a fresh take.
-
Across three tepid hours, Christie’s killer story is wasted on a series that feels dead on arrival.
-
Retro without flair and full of modern concerns about everyone’s emotional wellbeing is a mix that doesn’t work for me.
