Agatha Raisin
TV Series • 2016
TV-14
Burnt out on office politics, Agatha Raisin retires early to a picturesque village in the Cotswolds and soon finds a second career as an amateur detective investigating mischief, mayhem, and murder in her deceptively quaint town.
What viewers say
Viewers enjoy Agatha Raisin for Ashley Jensen's lively, glamorous take on the PR-executive-turned-village-sleuth, the pretty Cotswolds setting and its lighthearted, comic tone. Fans call it a fun, cozy watch. Book readers often note it changes a lot from M. C. Beaton's novels, making Agatha warmer and more polished, and some viewers find the mysteries thin and the humor broad.
Best for: Viewers who want breezy, funny English village mysteries.
