Stream It Or Skip It: 'Agatha Christie's Towards Zero' on BritBox, about a love triangle, a murder, and a burned-out detective in a British seaside town
Briefly

'Towards Zero' presents a unique adaptation of Agatha Christie’s work, diverging from traditional mystery structures. It starts with a man discussing the nature of detective stories, proposing that the murder is the climax rather than the opening. Set against a backdrop of personal drama involving Neville Strange's divorce and familial tensions, the plot reveals how deeply intertwined relationships are pivotal in understanding the motivations and eventual crime. This adaptation retains Christie's essence, yet challenges narrative expectations by foregrounding emotional and psychological developments prior to the murder.
The story of 'Towards Zero' begins long before a murder occurs, emphasizing the psychological buildup and complex relationships that lead to tragedy.
The narrative structure diverges from typical adaptations, focusing on the events and emotions leading up to the crime rather than the crime itself.
