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 Gissane Sophia Lady Geeks Media While it certainly could’ve been better, Towards Zero is still a series worth checking out. There’s a great deal to appreciate in the details and the more spoiler-filled moments that could provide engaging conversations. May 10, 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.

Ivan F Too theatrical and slow. A few surprises of convincing British characters played by American actors. Oliver Jackson-Cohen is as flat as possible, I can compare his acting abilities to Steven Segal. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Anya S Nice scenery, music, fashions, a little disjointed, and there's not much feeling for the murdered or the suspects. But Rhys is most likable and adds a much needed emotional touch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Hank S Beautiful but slow paced and not nearly as compelling as the original novel. Make it an hour shorter and it would have been been that much better. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review 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.
