Beautiful, moving film.

A Masterpiece!

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The series title is misleading as it has little to do with Agatha Christie if you are a purist, but it is entertaining enough for a quick break from reality. I love the sets and costumes in general; the setting is just post WW2. They did not have Botox and filler back then. A number of the female characters are pumped full of the stuff as their eyebrows are situated so high and arched on their foreheads and their cheeks so round and full, they have that all too common permanently surprised or even pained clown look that many celebrities have today. Unfortunately, the art of acting with a natural expression that includes facial expressions is becoming a lost art.

The negative reviews of this series are laughable. Is it spot-on Agatha Christie? No. Is it fun? Yes. Suspenseful and enjoyable. Jessica Raine is not attractive? Oh, please. Yes, David Wallaims' character is a bit of a dolt, but that's part of the charm of the series. The acting is fine; the script is fine; and the stories are engaging. The episodes each ended with engaging cliff-hangers, and the resolution of each was believable. The series also captures a post-war '50s feel quite nicely. Some of the folks who reviewed this seemed determined not to like it, and it might not be your cup of tea. But I found plenty to like here, and wish that they had made more.

I thought people must be viewing the show through too-high expectations, given the harsh comments, but by the end of the first overly-long, ponderous, sappy, unimaginative, wandering episode. End this shameful and inept mess and spare good actors the torment. And spare good audiences at the same time.It was as if the production team was doing a high-school film project. Poorly constructed scenes, silly dialogue, some of the silliest music I've heard in years - one could have used it for silent- film backgrounds, it was so simplistic - and an understanding of character that suggests the writing team and director was autistic.Again, end the show. Perhaps it's done after the first year and I haven't seen it. If so, good.

I realize that Partner's in Crime has been "done" before.... but at least this time they filmed outside the sound stage! We found the series entertaining. It was filmed in this century and although the stories are not "true" to Miss Christie's original books, written in oh, 1929, they are fun, suspenseful, and do make you ask yourself the question... "who done it?" We have watched both sets of Partner's in Crime running on Acorn TV, and although we started watching the older set first, we actually did prefer this production better. It was a disappointment when we reached the last show for the year. We would like to see the series continue. For those that gave poor reviews, remain living in the past and continue to re-read your paperbacks, and stay away from the "telly" No point kicking and screaming into this century when you are so comfortable reliving your past. One final rant, if BBC didn't remake something what ever would you watch? It seems all the good programing we stream from the UK tends to have a life span of two years at most. Evidently you prefer to watch and rewatch tired old programs from the last century! Bravo BBC carry on! We here in "the colonies" love your new programs, and would be thrilled to find season, two, three, four, five.....Partner's in Crime!
