About
You may enjoy this if you like polished, old-fashioned whodunits like Crooked House or Evil Under the Sun; Not for you if you want a purist adaptation or fast pacing.
Pros: elegant visuals; classic mystery setup; strong familiar cast | Cons: divisive detective portrayal; unnecessary action beats; underused supporting characters
