This show was very well done and very interesting. The acting and writing were great. The premise of the story was not the most original or most intresting but, the writing and acting were both superb and really carried this show.
8/10

The movie was so gory and had one use of the F word...we were looking for old fashioned scary mystery movie without gore. This one is definitely not for family watching. Horrible unexpected scenes of people's deaths. Much darker than typical Agatha Christie. I was hoping for more mystery feeling, scary, unexpected scenes, but most were filled with so much blood. Not for me.

I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie, and I would say this adaptation did not disappoint me at all. The cast are strong, the plots are entwined yet intriguing, and the settings are on point! The only thing I could possibly argue about are those solider figurines. They are quite postmodern and different from what I expected haha! Anyway, I highly recommend this miniseries to everyone! If you're not sure whether or not to give it a try, I'll say it only takes 3 hrs to go through all the episodes. Why not give it a shot?

This has an excellent cast and production values but we gave up twenty minutes because it is so relentlessly grim and dark. Dread prevails, and a non-stop dirge thrums in the background. Very heavy-handed. The old 40's classic version is fun albeit rather dated, but it had wonderful atmosphere & fascination without the sense of dreadful, suicidal depression and nightmarish creepiness hanging over all - as this new version does. I don't think that Agatha Christie would have been pleased. The current taste is for shows to be utterly dark, with an emphasis on dank despair - and this is totally in that vein. If that is what you savor, this may be just your dish. Beware.
