Summary
- Agatha Christie's novel adapted with a modern, darker tone.
- Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole grapples with personal demons.
- New international series span genres from mystery to anime.
Television viewers in America can now access a wide array of international series, featuring British sleuthing, Nordic noir, and anime.
One new offering is Chris Chibnall's loose adaptation of Agatha Christie's 'The Seven Dials Mystery.' While it incorporates elements of Chibnall's previous dark crime drama 'Broadchurch,' it largely departs from Christie's original tone, opting for a blend of humor and sentimentality.
The series, which streams on Netflix, was filmed in locations like Málaga, Spain, and features performances by Mia McKenna-Bruce and Helena Bonham-Carter. It unfolds over three episodes totaling 161 minutes.
Another series, 'Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole,' follows the troubled Harry Hole, a protagonist from the Norwegian crime writer's novels. This Netflix adaptation portrays Hole as a detective struggling with grief, addiction, and suicidal thoughts.
