Seven Dials Reviews: Critics Call Netflix's New Agatha Christie Adaptation 'Perfect Escapism'
Mia McKenna-Bruce on the set of Netflix's new mystery series Seven Dials
Netflix has a new cosy British drama to help us pass those dark winter nights.
Seven Dials is a new Agatha Christie adaptation from Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall, starring Mia McKenna Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter, Nabhaan Rizwan and Martin Freeman.
Like many Agatha Christie adaptations, Seven Dials is full of death, suspicion and back-stabbing. The three-part miniseries is set in the 1920s and follows a young aristocrat nicknamed Bundle, who is forced to play detective after a guest at her mansion dies with seven alarm clocks set to go off one after another.
Critics have described the show as the perfect escapism for a cold January, praising McKenna Bruce’s performance and the fast-paced twists and turns.
Here’s what the critics are saying about Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials so far…
The Standard (4/5)
“Seven Dials is just tremendous fun. The plot is silly, but manages to skirt the edge of absurdity – or at least, it encourages us to dip a toe in, because the water’s actually nice and warm. The costumes are gorgeous, the grand old houses are the ultimate in property porn and the plot romps along at the speed of a good ol’ steam train.”
