Featured review
None delivers mysterious charm of secluded souls like Agatha Christie
For a series based on famous literature work, there is a persistent effort on BBC to create proper feel for characters and isolated vista from the novel pages. The series looks strikingly posh, beautifully made with crisp cinematography while the actors play as palpable deceptive characters. This is back to the core of mystery thriller inspired by work of masterful writer and it's certainly deliciously inviting.
One might have read or seen this trademark Agatha Christie's flair before, several dubious personalities come together in an alarmingly desolated albeit gorgeous location where surreal legend might just appear out of thin air. Each of them is as shady as the cloud of arrows from Thermopylae and when body count starts to rise, dark secrets begin to emerge.
Visual presentation is handled with care. Every shot is designed to create a mystifying environment, sufficiently detached from reality. It's eerily fascinating how they can produce this single mansion on a tiny island, nearly like something out of a dream, yet might just believable enough. There's good care on the interior shots, as it presents the claustrophobic house in light enough angle so it would still hide the clandestine nature and the audience can better familiarize the setting as integral part of story.
Script shows a meticulous flamboyant approach for the interactions. All of the personalities gathered are completely suspicious and the series showcases these deep rooted deceptions in small bursts. Banters happen in beautiful words, yet they are meant to cut deep, or just plain cursing when the timely moments arrive. This set-up it immaculate done, one can appreciated the small details meant to draw or mislead the attention.
This is the quintessential classic mystery thriller from one of the best writers who have graced the genre, it will be a delightful treat for the fans as well as intriguing watch for everyone in general.
