What to Read Next
I’m playing this awesome game set in England back in 1925, and I’m stepping into the shoes of a character named Bundle. Basically, someone kicks the bucket at a fancy party she’s throwing, and now I’m trying to figure out what really happened. It’s quickly turning into something way bigger and darker than I expected, and it’s totally going to change Bundle’s life – and mine, as I play through it!
A glamorous weekend getaway turns deadly when someone is murdered at a country house. Luckily, a clever young noble takes it upon themselves to investigate in this retelling of Agatha Christie’s classic story.
The series has been well-received by critics, earning a 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 32 reviews. Reviewers particularly liked the show’s rhythm and the actors’ performances.
Digital Spy awarded the series four stars, praising its quick pace. We noted that while the story is efficiently told and refreshing, viewers might wish they could spend a bit more time exploring Bundle’s colorful setting.
According to Variety, the series is worth watching thanks to compelling performances from Morgan Freeman, Helena Bonham Carter, and Alistair McKenna-Bruce, even if the story might have worked better as a movie.
According to Empire Magazine, this rarely-seen Agatha Christie story is brought to life by Mia McKenna-Bruce, who delivers insightful observations with a touch of humor.
Screen Rant describes the series as a murder mystery that doesn’t quite nail its overall feel. However, it’s still an easy and enjoyable show to watch quickly, though it’s not particularly memorable.
According to the Financial Times, the show features excellent acting and a straightforward storytelling style. They describe it as an engaging, clever, and delightfully comfortable murder mystery.
I recently read a review in The Guardian that really hit home for me. They said the show felt like it was trying to be retro, but without any of the fun or style, and it kept getting bogged down in characters’ feelings. Honestly, I totally agree – that combination just didn’t work for me either.
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials is available to watch now on Netflix.
The latest issue of Living Legends is now available, and it’s dedicated to the incredible Dolly Parton! You can purchase ‘Dolly at 80’ at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
