The second episode of BBC's Agatha Christie adaptation, Towards Zero, reinterprets the original 1944 novel with a contemporary lens, featuring a complex love triangle. Directed by Sam Yates, the series explores dark themes of desire and betrayal among the British upper class in 1936. The adaptation emphasizes character interactions and emotional extremes, reflecting modern sensibilities while maintaining the essence of Christie's work. This fresh interpretation aims to resonate with today’s audiences, showcasing a departure from traditional cozy mystery adaptations.
The show features a love triangle between Audrey, played by Ella Lily Hyland, center; and Nevile and Mimi.
This three-part limited series, Towards Zero, takes the forbidden desire, well-heeled nihilism, and murderous emotion from Christie's 1944 novel and modernizes it.
Yates stated, 'Since Christie's novels have already been adapted so many times, the choice is do them exactly by the book every time, or let them live for the moment.'
The director, Sam Yates, calls the material incredibly dark and interesting, reinterpreting classic themes for today's audience.
