I don't understand the final, it's confusing
Sooooo, is it 2x episodes or 3x? The 2nd episode had an "up next" type section at the end... seemed incomplete.
Free adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel that maintains the necessary doses of mystery, but pretends to be more intelligent and twisted than the original work, and ends up being confusing and chaotic in the development. It doesn't make much sense to twist the original story to build an argument that tangles itself up to an inconclusive and absurd ending.
Absolute garbage describes this pretty well. Exactly the opposite of a well done take on the novel, and even if this wasn't based on a novel, this is fucking rubbish. Had a feeling about 5 minutes into the first episode. All points towards set design/costume and production only. Sure it was mysterious, but abso-fucking-lutely nothing happens and there's so little character development, it doesn't matter anyway. As far as a modern take on these Christie stories, something like And Then There Were None or Ordeal by Innocence are well done - this is bottom of the barrel in comparison. If Christie were alive today this would be the first nail in her coffin. Avoid.
Something to watch if you are bored and have nothing else to do.
Could probably have been a movie as well instead of dragging out the story into two episodes. But well made, good acting and drama. Story is based on Agatha Christie, so no wonder it's good. Photography is very nice and I quite liked the music.
