Judy Berman TIME Magazine The show’s real draw is its cast, which expands to include Matthew Rhys as a troubled detective, and a skillful adaptation that highlights the glossiest, cleverest elements of classic Christie—and adds a pinch of eros. May 1, 2025 Full Review J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail [A] lovely looking and mildly anachronistic mystery -- with Anjelica Huston in a dowager role previously reserved for Maggie Smith. Apr 18, 2025 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal A three-parter that makes the most of its milieu: The walnut is burnished, the furs are thick, the lipstick is blood red and the opulence is as obvious as the moral offenses. Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider While the performances in Agatha Christie’s Towards Zero are worth watching, we get the feeling most viewers who aren’t hardcore Christie fans will be to bored to hang in for the entire 3-hour run. Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Grant Hermanns Screen Rant The limited series adaptation of Agatha Christie's Towards Zero is an absolutely overstuffed mess that bears little resemblance to its novel. Rated: 4/10 Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Brittany Frederick CBR Towards Zero has a game cast and all the necessities of a proper Agatha Christie adaptation. It simply has a handful of flaws that keep it from becoming, as Nevile calls Kay, "the winner." Rated: 7/10 Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Avindu G What's interesting about adaptations from Agatha's writings are the dynamic characters. This journey towards Zero had perfectly timed surprises along the way. Any place secluded wasn't too far from mysteries for Agatha's mind, and the crossovers therefore are always scenic and satisfying. Casting was perfect and performances were sincere. Great cinematography and visuals. Scenic surroundings contrasting to the ordeal has a major impact. Good sound effects and music. Though the characters weren't introduced in length the story was attractive as much as the Poirot series and hopefully we would see more of similar adaptations. Enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Andrei D Needs more time for characters to gain some personality and for their choices to make sense Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Peter C Intriguingly stupidly written. It's as if AI were asked to write an Agatha Christie screenplay. I'm half way through episode two and hanging on the edge of my seat to see how much worse it gets. What a shame. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Sunny a Loved it, I thought the locations were great and the acting top notch. There was a particularly sexually intense scene on the staircase that was unexpected. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Misty K It is a lovey film to watch. The costumes, set design, locations and acting were all wonderful. Some of the liberties taken with the storyline were probably not something the author would have written, but maybe if she were here now she would? I quite enjoyed the series and found the length just right for a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Joseph D The other two Britbox originals Why Did’nt They Ask Evans and Murder is Easy were enjoyable. This was very difficult to watch. The changes to the plot were unnecessary and confusing. The characters were universally repugnant. In the novel and even in the Marple adaptation most of the characters were good people. Having loved Ludwig and hated the misbegooten Prime video Christie adaptations, I only hope for better things from Britbox. By the way the synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes is laughably incorrect, presumably based on the novel. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
