PG-13
A private investigator helps a former flame solve the murder of her wealthy grandfather, who lived in a sprawling estate surrounded by his idiosyncratic family.
What viewers say
Viewers like the British atmosphere, handsome settings, polished performances and the mood-driven family drama and psychological tension, and some compare it favorably to modern ensemble whodunits. The most common criticisms are that the mystery is uninspired and slow, the suspects feel like puzzle pieces rather than people, the pacing is uneven, and it doesn't live up to other Christie adaptations. Content includes a murder by injection, a car crash, gunshots, and frequent drinking and smoking, so it suits teens and up.
Best for: Viewers who like moody, atmospheric Christie adaptations and don't need a tight mystery.
