This kind of story needs a heroine who's both charming enough to carry the action, and believable as someone whom no one expects to be good at detective work. Fortunately, McKenna-Bruce is slyly funny and cool in the lead role.
-
Seven Dials sits comfortably in that upper tier. It pulls off the difficult trick of making something feel both nimble and reassuringly familiar – a period caper that glides through gilded country piles and shadowy streets.
-
Seven Dials delivers an engaging drama that stays mostly faithful to its source material.
-
Very British, and once the threads start connecting, pretty good.
-
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is a well-paced, traditional Christie adaptation with a fun-to-watch young protagonist at its center, which is rare in the world of the classic mystery novelist’s stories.
-
McKenna-Bruce is delightful as the pint-sized self-proclaimed detective determined to do whatever is possible to find out what happened to her friend. A few of the clues unveiled in “Seven Dials” are more obvious than others, but there are just enough surprises to make the series worthwhile.
-
Here, the journey isn’t necessarily thrilling, nor is it as intellectually adroit as peak Sherlock, but it’s lively and easygoing entertainment. And for most viewers, Mia McKenna-Bruce will be a most agreeable discovery.
-
Their back-and-forth gives the series the pluck it lacks elsewhere. Should there should be a second season of “Seven Dials, it would be best to dial up more of that Bundle-Battle repartee and formulate a better, more convincing mystery that’s not overly reliant on coincidences and preposterous.
