Mimi L @MimiLaMala Mar 26 An Agatha Christie adaptation is not supposed to be boring, and yet somehow they managed it. All the more shocking, since all they had to do was follow the book, one of her most cinematic novels, with a playful tone that is supposed to both thrill and to amuse. In fact, according to many, this book was written by Christie as a parody of the mystery genre that was becoming popular at the time and over-using the malevolent secret society trope. Instead of that, we got an overly-dramatic three-episode dud, with family drama that had never been there, with a lead that had the charisma of a sack of potatoes and the likability of an infected toe nail, a bunch of generic characters meant to drag us along through a story seasoned with modern morality lessons that land like a plastic bottle in the middle of a garden pond, and an assassination of the most memorable characters of the novel and some of the funniest scenes. Maybe the "Knives Out" people would have done a semi-decent job here See more Trenaway E @Trenaway Mar 23 I rather enjoyed this. Intriguing, great acting, and great story arch! See more Chris H @jazzsynger Mar 5 The actress who plays "Bundle" is adorable and her character keeps out smarting everyone who underestimates her because of it. She wins over the head copper eventually all be it predictably. It's so endearing and the twists are classic Agatha Christie. Helena Bonham Carter is her usual fabulous self. Worth it for sure!

Poor humor, predictable, poor acting… the story line doesn’t make much sense See more Cameron H. @camthemovieman Feb 23 The three-episode format makes this an easy binge. I loved the period setting, the witty dialogue, the balance of humor, mystery, action, and suspense. The cinematography, sets, and production design were excellent, I loved the cast, especially Martin Freeman. It’s a classic whodunnit mystery! Overall, whether you’re a longtime fan of Agatha Christy or simply looking for a fresh new mystery to dive into, I recommend checking out “Agatha Christy’s Seven Dials” on Netflix! See more Torin F @nonlinearize Feb 21 SEVEN DIALS promises a fresh Agatha Christie adaptation that it pretty well completely fails to deliver. Miscast characters (especially the lead) proceed on a tepid drift through privileged society and a "murder mystery" with a lot of contrivance and very little bite. Beyond some initially engaging period atmosphere, the one redeeming quality here is that the series is in fact very limited, and mercifully short. See more Read all reviews
