"Murder was just the beginning."
Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot's Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple's idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short.
What viewers say
Viewers who liked this Poirot mystery point to the all-star cast, the lavish desert and pyramid scenery, and the twists that keep mystery fans guessing. Reactions are mixed, though. Common complaints are a slow first stretch, uneven pacing, a predictable plot, and changes from the Agatha Christie novel that disappointed fans of the book. Parents also note adult content: murders with guns and knives, a bloody death, a love triangle with sexual references, and steady drinking, so it suits teens and adults better than children.
Best for: Viewers who enjoy glossy, old-fashioned Poirot whodunits and don't mind a slow build.
