Agatha Christie's Seven Dials is a British miniseries based on the 1929 novel The Seven Dials Mystery. Streaming right now on Netflix. To mostly rave reviews!
In this timeless mystery by the re-invented Queen of Crime, a fearless young aristocrat Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent investigates the murder of her love interest in her family home.
Across 3 (tight) episodes, expect the unexpected as well as twists and turns as Bundle races to find the killer - time is running out.
Starring Mia McKenna-Bruce, Edward Bluemel, Iain Glen, Martin Freeman, & Helena Bonham Carter, the series begun streaming a few weeks ago.
As I continue my summer binge with a bad dose of food poisoning, this was a super easy watch. I always loved Cluedo. I am so excited to see the live stage show this year. This gave major Clue whodunnit vibes.
If you loved Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, you will dig this. OK there is a recap below. In the finale, The Finger Points, the mystery is finally solved...
Jimmy explains that he was shot by an intruder.
Matip is discovered in bed, sedated with the same drug that had killed Gerry; his safe has been opened and the formula removed. Battle takes charge, and Bundle impresses him with her deductive skills.
Loraine arrives unexpectedly and, after making an excuse to leave the living room, flees with Matip's formula and the watch. She boards a train, pursued by Bundle, Jimmy, and Bill. Cornered, she surrenders the watch and the formula to Bill.
Jimmy, revealed to be working with Loraine, shoots Bill, who is saved by the watch. Bundle deduces that Jimmy had wounded himself, allowing Loraine time to drug Matip and steal the formula.
Subduing Jimmy, Bundle confronts the true mastermind who is waiting in a carriage at the front of the train: her own mother. Believing that the British government was responsible for her son’s death during the First World War, Lady Caterham had enlisted Jimmy and Loraine in a scheme to profit from the formula.
Loraine had poisoned Gerry, fearing he knew too much, while Jimmy had arranged the clocks as a distraction and had shot Ronny. The conspirators are arrested, and Bundle is taken before the Seven Dials Society.
Unmasking himself as their leader, Battle invites Bundle to take her late father's place in the organisation, which works covertly for the public good. She enthusiastically accepts.
Netflix has a big year ahead. Locally Heartbreak High will conclude, Bridgeton back in two parts, The Lincoln Lawyer back next week (with a renewal for season five today) and successful chick flick, Virgin River is also back for season seven.
I can't wait to see how Heartbreak High concludes and what other local offerings the top streamer has.
