I Watched "Towards Zero" the new Christie adaptation.
Hmm....Looks gorgeous, but then these types of productions usually do. Acting was fine, mostly. Anjelica Huston did well with an English accent.
But...it didn't feel like Agatha to me. I'm all for keeping things fresh, but I think a sprinkling of f-words is the laziest way to do it.
Also, the now obligatory colour-blind casting was in play which I find a trifle jarring. I understand the reasons given for its use, but it is another level of suspension of disbelief to watch something set in the 30's and see such a mixed cast. As I say I understand why it is done, but other more unaware people might come to this and think England was all tolerant and light in this period, which as we know, it wasn't. As such does it skew the collective understanding of what our country was then?
Alright, I'm perhaps over-thinking this - I know it is only a murder mystery, but it still bothers me.
