About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darker, moodier Agatha Christie-style mystery with courtroom tension, especially if you liked And Then There Were None or Ordeal by Innocence; Not for you if you want something light or comforting.

Pros: tense mystery; strong performances; sinister atmosphere | Cons: very gloomy tone; divisive adaptation choices; slow pacing
