Netflix Just Quietly Released The Most Delightful Murder Mystery Of The Year
"Netflix Agatha Christie's Seven Dials follows young 1920s socialite Eileen "Bundle" Brent, a plucky heiress with a bob that, to borrow some modern parlance, is bobbing. After WWI took her brother and father's lives, she spends her days in a large manor house with her slightly agoraphobic mother (a perfectly-cast Helena Bonham-Carter). But it seems like her life is about to begin when a dashing Foreign Office worker (Corey Mylchreest) hints that he's about to propose."
"Netflix Seven Dials comes from British TV showrunner Chris Chibnall, who created the hit murder mystery drama Broadchurch and also had a stint as the head honcho of Doctor Who, so he knows how to take the (admittedly simplistic) plot of the S even Dials book and turn it into a launching point for more adventures. There's a reason why this is a series,"
Netflix's Seven Dials follows Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent, a young 1920s socialite and plucky heiress mourning her father and brother, who lives with a slightly agoraphobic mother played by Helena Bonham Carter. A dashing Foreign Office worker hints at marriage but is found dead the next morning in an apparent suicide. Bundle refuses the ruling, launches an investigation, and becomes entangled in a sprawling conspiracy spanning scientific innovations, underground societies, and family secrets. Martin Freeman plays the detective who partners with Bundle, and showrunner Chris Chibnall expands the original plot into a series that could continue with further adaptations.
